Went to Taiwan for 6 days!!! My first time there:)))) I like the tour guide too! She has a very good sense of humour. haha:D Pictures to upload!! Captions at bottom.

FIRST DAY
Arrived at Taoyuan C.K.S Airport in the evening. The sky is already dark by 5pm. Took a bus to a hotel in Taipei and a free day was given to us. We headed to Ximen Ding night market for dinner. So many people at the market 0.0. Ate fried oyster with egg and 河粉with meatballs:) The market even sold snake and tortoise meat -.- scary.
Walked until 10 plus at night, headed back to the hotel after that. I slept at 11pm! First time I turned in so late at night..



Oyster egg. Quite nice but it would be better if they add lesser flour.
My favourite!! I prefer the noodles than the meatballs. The soup is refreshing too:DD

SECOND DAY
In the morning, we journeyed to the CKS Memorial Hall in Taipei built in memory for Chiang Kai Shek and a daily ceremony of changing guards at hourly intervals. Their actions were well-synchronised and neat. There were so many tourists rushing to take photos/videos of the ceremony, like reporters. haha.
After 50 mins or so, we headed back to the bus and went to 九份. But firstly, we are required to sleep for an hour as we would be passing by a long mountain trail. I am afraid of dizziness, so in the end i slept:) i love the facilities on the bus! The seats are comfortable and quite wide. The fried radish was super hot but full of aroma!! I totally love it; even though i did not finish it:p

Got to see some monuments close to the seaside. Beautiful landscape made me feel in awe. The sea breeze was "blowing with rage"! but very cooling:D One of the monuments is called "The Queen's Head". The tour guide gave us 40 minutes to walk around. Went to one of Taiwan's longest lakes. We got the chance to drink the water from the lake. The taste was bland but refreshing:)

During the evening, the bus took us to 花莲, our next destination. We went to a studio to watch a local dance brought down from the older generations. They performed a lot of dangerous moves but overall, excellent performance. 花莲is a place where cultures are inclined to the people living there. Pity is, these cultures are gradually disappearing due to laws now..

After the performance, the tour guide brought us to her friend's restaurant. Everyone was extremely ravenous, but in the end, nobody finished the dishes served. of course, cause there were 9 dishes in total 0.0. frightening. The best delicacy was steamed fish; the meat is soft yet you can taste the sauce cooked together with it. Juicy!:DD

The CKS memorial hall.


"The Queen's Head" well-shaped. haha.

The beautiful sea i was talking about. Love it!<3>The dance studio at花莲. Many audiences watching.

THIRD DAY

Had to wake up at 7am 0.0 before heading to 高雄。Morning was okay, only afternoon it was fun:) We stopped by a fruit stall and i bought a cup of mango ice blend. Their way of making is different from S'pore. They chopped the mango into pieces before putting into the blender with ice, like mixing fruit juice. But the product is the same. haha. After 40 minutes, we passed by a shop where they sell japanese bentos!! The taste was okay, but S'pore is better :p no offence! haha. Lunch followed by visiting a museum. Went to Little bear resort for the night stay. The workers organised a some activities for us followed by an array of fireworks! After all the fun activities, my father and i bought some small type of tubes that produces fireworks when you light it. It was super cheap! but the fireworks are those very little types.


Day 4

Shall continue tmr! Stopping for now.
