Day 6 of Taiwan trip, which fell on Christmas Eve =D
The Mi Le Fo statue which was placed right in the middle of the hotel lobby. Speaking of the hotel, when we were leaving the hotel, there was like 2 big groups of Japanese high-school students there as well. To be a little clearer...Japanese high-school boys. Almost went up the wrong bus. Heh.
Went to the National Palace Museum first thing in the morning. I love going to the museum because there are lots of nice artefacts to look at. Freaking amazing. I used to like going to the Asian Civilizations Museum in Singapore =D Anyone wants to go with me someday?
Had lunch at this restaurant called Wu Jiao Chuan Ban, which was built in a rather unique manner.
And for some reason, there were lots of statues with saggy boobs...wtf?!
The food there was pretty good, especially the milky muah chee.
My dinner group. We were always the first one to enter the restaurant but always the last one to leave because we erm...talked too much. Heh.
The little girl who sat behind me on the bus. Damn cute right~although I don't really like little girls. I got a feeling that little girls dont like me also. Why like that?!
After lunch, we visited Taipei 101, the freaking high-end shopping mall. Didn't buy anything simply because I couldn't afford any of the branded stuff. Didn't bother to pay money to go up the tower because I didn't see the need to spend money to have a bird's eye view of Taipei since I dont really like Taipei that much...and partly because I was stingy. =D
Made an error in the previous post. Apparently, we went to the Tianlu place on Day 6 instead of Day 5...whatever la, like anyone cares like that. Tra-la-la~
Had dinner at Shilin Night Market and it was fucking dirty okay! Sat down at a stall and ordered Teppanyaki and while waiting for our food to be served, a cockroach ran across the table like no one's business. I admire how the lady next to me could freak out a little and then continue eating her food like the cockroach never existed or something. Then again, I also admire myself for not kicking up a fuss about the hygiene of the place with the chef...who was wearing yellowed clothes by the way. Eew.
Also, I saw one of the stallholders cooking soup over an open fire next to like 5 cans of oil. WTF?! Isn't that like dangerous or something?!
After dinner, shopped around Shilin where we witnessed illegal vendors running away from policemen. So.freaking.cool. I've only seen scenes like those in Hongkong dramas and I didnt know that they existed in real life. Woo~ Next, we took the subway to Ximending. Ximending's like a damn nice place to shop lar! Made actual purchases there but too bad we arrived a little late as many shops were closing by then already.
Returned to Shilin later and ate supper. The ice kacang was nice but the oyster mee sua was blah. Walked around the dirty streets for a while before returning to the hotel to do packing. Arrr...hate doing packing.
Went to the airport the following day to take the plane back to Singapore~And that's how I spend Christmas 2007. wtf...so sad.
And...that's the end of my Taiwan trip~!
