Osaka, Nara, Kyoto [011018 - 091018]

Day 1 [011018]

2nd visit to Osaka and it has been as awesome~ Stayed at Daiwa Roynet Hotel again and roomie agrees that it is an excellent choice! This time round we have a massage chair in our room instead of the leg massager! Late dinner at my fav restaurant just opposite our hotel - it's still so good.

Day 2 [021018]

Nara to visit the deers again, and we managed to finish combing the area in half a day. So we went to Shinsaibashi & Dotonburi for some shopping and Ichiran for dinner!

Day 3 [031018]

Universal Studios Japan on our 3rd day. 2 main highlights of this USJ trip - The harry potter 4D ride which got me all nervous, and a mental note not to visit such places during halloween again. I hate zombies appearing all around us!

Day 4 [041018]

Moved to Kyoto. Found the Tsukemen which I really liked from the previous trip, the noodles are still as good but i missed the pork flavour.. they only have chicken now..

Visited Nishiki market in the afternoon, quite liked this place! And also finally got the chance to visit an Owl's cafe for the experience.

Day 5 [051018]

Visited the Bamboo Forest in Arashiyama, which is nothing impressive in my opinion. Haha! Photos looks better than the actual sight. Ate lunch at this famous steak restaurant which has very long queue. Thankfully we read that we could write our names to be placed in the queue early in the morning, so we managed to get a seat when the restaurant opened.

It was then shopping and cafe hopping at Arashiyama area till the evening. And we had awesome and cheap sushi at Kyoto station for dinner! The tuna in Japan is really good, considering I don't even touch tuna in sg. 

Day 6 [061018]

Back in Osaka. Went to the Cup Noodles Museum and then it was shopping at Umeda. Quite like this Hep Five shopping centre which has quite a number of things suitable for us.

Dinner at Red Rock Americamura. Their beef is really raw for my standard, but surprisingly, it didn't have much of the bloody taste and prices are quite reasonable for the quality.

Day 7 [071018]

Visited Kuromon Market in the morning. It was quite an eye opener! The sashimi and other food choices were really quite impressive. We have been buying the Kyoho grapes almost daily at the supermarket near our hotel after we found out they taste really good.

At this point in time, we have already given up on visiting any other tourist attrations. We just spend the rest of our time shopping. Haha! And we had my most anticipated dinner that night. Shabu Tei surely didn't disappoint! Still as good as ever~

Day 8 [081018]

Our last shopping day was spent shopping and purchasing whatever we still felt like buying (although we were almost bankrupt at that time!) Tried Endo Sushi too, but somehow find that it is not worth the price, compared to the cheap and good sushi meal we had in Kyoto. And one of my favourite buys, will definitely be the 2 mao mao bags I managed to loot! So much love for them!

Osaka is definitely a good place for shopping and food~ Will be back another time!

Iceland, London and Edinburgh [081217 - 251217]

Iceland - Day 1 [091217]

Got our tickets at a steal from Norwegian Airlines and took another flight to Iceland. Finally reached after 25 hours! Rey Apartments which we booked was nice! Quite big, comfortable and clean. Didn't do much as we only reached in the evening. Had dinner at this cafe and walked around in Reykjavik.

Food is really expensive in Iceland (at least $30+sgd for a simple meal which may not even be nice LOL), but thankfully the portions are huge so sharing makes things slightly better.  

Iceland - Day 2 [101217]

Started our 3-days Golden Circle and South Coast Tour in the morning. Visited the Pingvellir National Park, Geysir Geothermal Area, Gullfoss, Seljalandsfoss, Skogafoss, etc. (I seriously cannot recognise all the waterfalls...) I thought I've been through the coldest weather in Finland, but i somehow find the cold in Iceland more unbearable.. Lol. Maybe it's because Iceland is more windy than Finland. No doubt the sights are quite spectacular :)

Daylight is really short in winter, so we end up rushing through the itinerary and meals so that we get to maximise the places we can visit daily.

Iceland - Day 3 [111217]

Sightseeing continues for the 2nd day of the tour. After which we went to Solheimajokull for glacier hiking. Glacier hiking was tiring but a brand new experience! I didn't know how I climbed up the slopes with no barriers (lose your footing and that's it!), stomped on the ice till my legs were tired, so cold that the mucus cannot stop flowing out of the nose hahaha.. But we did it! A very tiring few hours but such a memorable experience. The view that greeted us was amazing~

Iceland - Day 4 [121217]

Visited the Jokulsarlon Glacier Lagoon (one of my fav!), Diamond Beach, Black Sand Beach Reynisfjara, etc. A pity it was raining heavily when we reached the glacier lagoon. We got our down jackets, boots and handphone all soaked while taking pictures!

Returned to Reykjavik in the evening and explored the area a little while looking for the place which supposedly serves good fish and chips. The fish was fresh and good but all the fried stuff is too much...

Iceland - Day 5 [131217]

The day which we signed up to go snorkelling in Silfra. Not only feeling freaking cold but also feeling scared thinking if the wet suit can keep me afloat. Lol! It's my first time snorkelling without a life jacket and I was supposed to know how to swim to sign up for the activity! :X But ok, other than feeling so cold that we cannot even feel our fingers, the wet suit was very buoyant (phew!). But I felt kinda cheated when I saw that there's no fish in the waters hahaha.. We must be out of our mind to sign up for snorkelling in sub zero temperature! :P

The hot dog bun must be the nicest food I had in Iceland. I'm serious!

Went to chase northern lights at night but didn't really get to see any. The good thing about booking such tour in Iceland is that you can join the tour for as many nights as you want at no additional cost till you get to see it.

Iceland - Day 6 [141217]

Our last day in Iceland. Visited Blue Lagoon like everyone else.. Entrance ticket was freaking expensive! About $100sgd and it comes with only towels, some mud mask and a free drink.

Ate at the Lobsterhouse for lunch. Don't really like lobster bisque... (even the most expensive food can also be not satisfying.. lol)

Our 2nd and last night chasing the northern lights as we are leaving the next morning. Luckily someone heard our prayers :) and we left Iceland with no regrets!

Iceland to London - Day 7 [151217]

Arrived in London and the first thing we did was to get separated when boarding the train. Haha.. End up we had some time to take pictures at Paddington station while waiting for Gina and Jean. Our apartment in London was quite small (almost no space to open our big luggages), but thankfully clean. Had "Burger and Lobster" for dinner and we waited almost an hour to get a seat.

London - Day 8 [161217]

Started our 1-day London walking tour with Tour Guide, Jean! Visited the usual places where tourists will visit - Tower Bridge, Buckingham Palace, London Eye, Piccadilly Circus, etc.

Had dinner at Heddon Street Kitchen but it was quite a disappointment. And they made us wait so long as they screwed up our beef wellington order!

London - Day 9 [171217]

Trip to Bicester Village outlet shopping in the day. Finally visited Winter Wonderland at night after shelving this plan for many days.. It was really nice and huge! And they have the best churros~

Bath - Day 10 [181217]

Our day trip to Bath. Walking around to visit the Roman Baths, Pulteney Bridge, The Circus, The Royal Crescent.. And ended our day having chinese food at Chinatown in London. Although we were happy to have chinese food again after so many days, the food at Four Season is so-so... So salty... But better than nothing. Lol.

London - Day 11 [191217]

The making of Harry Potter Studio Tour! Not really a Harry Potter fan but this place is better than I imagined, esp the life sized castle at the end of the tour, simply magnificent!

Went to Borough Market after, and caught The Book of Mormon at night. Not really my kind of musical..

London to Edinburgh - Day 12 [201217]

The last leg of our trip, and only 4 of us left. Lol. Edinburgh is a pretty and quiet place worth staying for a few days. Visited St Giles Cathedral and Edinburgh Castle and walked around the town. Visited their christmas market at night before settling for some thai food near our hotel. The thai food was surprisingly quite good.

Edinburgh - Day 13 [211217]

Took a 1-day tour out of Edinburgh to visit Loch Ness and other attractions. Overall, the tour was quite a disappointment. The distance we had to travel to reach those attractions is really very far, so it was a torturous many hours drive since early morning. And bcos daylight was short, we didn't manage to visit a lot of places before the sky turned dark again. Basically it was a hop off for 15mins visit to most attractions before being on the bus again. And the most cheated thing is we had to pay for a visit to Urquhart Castle, which is nothing but some ruins -.- We were awake at the end of the tour as we slept so much on the long bus rides!

Edinburgh - Day 14 [221217]

Had breakfast at a small cosy cafe before looking for Arthur's Seat. The climb was ok for me, but climbing the steps in my down jacket proved to be too warm afterall. Haha.. Despite the cold weather, I had to take off my jacket before we even started the climb as I was sweating! Took us about 2+ hours to complete and the great view at the top (well.. almost the top lol) is worth it~

Spent the rest of the day strolling around the town before we got onto our flight back to London.

London - Day 15 [231217]

Our last full day in London. We girls spent it shopping at Harrods and Oxford street before meeting cw for dinner at Flat Iron. The steak was cheap and good~ I was looking forward to be back home after the 10+ days.. Mainly bcos of food! The daily western food choices almost killed me.. (only thing i wasn't sick of was pizza) Western countries are definitely not suitable for long stays! 此地不宜久留 hahaha.

I'm glad our big 30s trip happened although it is not easy to coordinate for a big group like us. And it definitely left us some memories for life :)

Bandung [16 to 20 Aug 17]

Day 1 [160817]

My first time in Bandung. Only read about how you can't get a SIM card at the airport few days before we flew. Luckily, ade's fren helped us booked a driver to get around in Bandung and he sent us to somewhere nearby to buy a SIM card.

Travelled to Lembang after having a short lunch, and we visited the Farmhouse, where the hobbit house is. After that, we checked into SanGria Resort and Spa. Wanted to visit more places before the day ends, but most of the places were closed by 5pm. We ended up at the floating market, which closes at 7pm. I had imagined the floating market to be similar to the ones in Bangkok.. But I was wrong.. Haha. Floating market in Bandung is just like a concept, none of the people are selling things on the water and we didn't have to take a sampan. It was made like "Japan", even the souvenirs sold there says "Japan" instead of "Indonesia".. Lol.

As it will be an early day the next morning (we planned to watch sunrise), we asked the driver to drive us to some nearby eatery to da bao food back to the hotel. All the eateries along the street are empty.. so much so that it looks like all of them are not operating. We just dropped by a decent looking one and bought some simple dishes and satay back. They tasted surprisingly good! And needless to say, cheap.

Day 2 [170817]

We woke up damn early to view the sunrise. But the place we intended to go to only opens at 7am?? Until now I still don't know where's the right place to view sunrise in Lembang. Well.. so we woke up early for nothing. But since we're up, we went to Maribaya natural hot spring resort, stopped by to take some pictures of the tea plantation, and visited Tangkuban Perahu (volcano). Temperature was surprisingly low at 14 degrees celsius that morning!

First time I did so much before returning to resort for breakfast. Haha.. Then it was a massage session at the resort~ Visited The Lodge for photo-taking in the afternoon, but the crowd and jam was terrible as it was their national day. In the evening, we had dinner at Sapu Lidi which was rather nice (except the flies which refuse to leave our table -_-) Moved back to the city for the night.

Day 3 [180817]

My unlucky day. Not sure whether it's the overwhelming eggs at Herb and Spice during breakfast, or is it that ice cream I had at Lawang Wangi Cafe.. vomited everything out after the foot massage and at Lereng Anteng.

In the evening, we still went ahead with the plan of viewing sunset at Tebing Karaton. The car can only stop at some point at the bottom of the mountain and we can either walk or take their motorbike up at a fee. From the experience, walk is definitely not an option... It's been really long since i last sat on a motorbike! And it was uphill all the way... but it was disappointing that the sun hid behind the clouds while we were waiting for sunset.. Haiz.. No sunset view!

Day 4 [190817]

It was a 2.5 hours drive from the city to Ciwidey. First visited Kawah Putih which is the famous blue lake, then visited Glamping Lakeside which seems to be the latest in-thing in Bandung. There are a few attractions around and the view there is quite nice. After that we drove to a camping place nearby and there's actually deers in Bandung!


If you are craving for a short break nearby with cooling weather.. Bandung may not be a bad choice!

Guangzhou & Hong Kong [18 to 23 Mar 2017]

Day 1 Guangzhou - 180317

First time in Guangzhou, our eating and shopping trip! Walked around Beijing Road Pedestrian Street.. Hai di lao was much cheaper but offers lesser varieties as compared to sg.

Day 2 Guangzhou - 190317

Visited their wholesale 天马 and 白马 in the morning, and 上下九 thereafter. Shop till we drop, look at the tired faces at the end of the day with our loots!

Day 3 Hong Kong - 200317

Back to HK for 许留山! Line store in Langham Place. Itinerary in hk is really free and easy..

Day 4 Hong Kong - 210317

Disneyland with the new Star Wars section. Enjoyed the Iron Man Simulator! Very enjoyable trip this time round as there were much much lesser C____ tourists!

Day 5 Hong Kong - 220317

Just hanging around TST and a night walk to view the ferris wheel :)

Day 6 Hong Kong - 230317

Am glad Guangzhou is kinda like HK.. A short and good getaway!

Finland [20 - 27 Dec 2016]

Day 1 - 201216

Helsinki - Senate Square, Market Square, Temppeliaukio Church, Sibelius Monument, Christmas Market, Aleksanterinkatu

Arrived in Helsinki and started our city tour.. getting used to the cold! Nothing much to buy at the christmas market though.. Went for dinner at Naughty Burger as recommended by our tour guide, it's good!

Day 2 - 211216

Ivalo, Kakslauttanen - Santa's home, glass igloo

Took an internal flight to Ivalo, finally the ground is all filled with snow~ Went to visit the reindeers and Santa's home in the afternoon (afternoon is no different from night as we only have 4 hours of daylight everyday, about 10am to 2pm). It was really cold when we walked around to visit the different places, and it was the first time that I couldn't feel my toes! The only thought at that time was to get into Santa's house to warm myself up! Tour guide recommend that we take lots of photos with Santa as photo taking was free, otherwise you have to pay a price for taking photo with the Santa at Santa Claus village.

Finally checked into the glass igloo in the evening! My dream came true :D The only night 我会不舍得睡!! But we were a little disappointed that night as it was snowing really heavily and auroras will not be seen. The snow was so heavy that the top of the igloo was covered with snow when I woke up in the middle of the night. But being able to be there and even staring at the tree in front of our igloo was just pure bliss~

Day 3 - 221216

Kakslauttanen, Levi - Reindeer safari, chasing northern lights on snowmobile

Finally we were able to take nice shots with the igloos when the sun is up in the day. Went to take the reindeer ride, we were very lucky as the weather was not very cold (about zero degrees celsius) so the ride was very enjoyable with the reindeers walking us through the forest. Was offered warm berry juice after the ride (apparently berry juice is THE DRINK in Lapland, although I didn't really like it). Our tour guide also requested the driver to bring us to this scenic place to take photos of the sunset after that, then we checked into our hotel in Levi.

As the aurora index for that night was high, we went on our snowmobiles to chase the northern lights in the forest. Riding the snowmobile was not as easy as I thought, the ground was bumpy although it was all covered with snow, there were slopes and the ride into the forest took us a full hour. I was really stressed and exhausted as the guides expected us to travel quite fast on our snowmobiles as well. The forest was in totally darkness after we switched off all the lights from our snowmobiles. The wait for aurora was quite a torturing one in the extreme cold.. although there was a hut to hide and enjoy some sausages and berry juice. Haha.. but I have to say we were lucky, the aurora appeared after some time, although it was a really faint one at first. Didn't stay for very long because it was time to ride out of the forest as it was already quite late.

Our tour guide was very nice and promised to bring us to a spot where we can continue taking photos of the aurora back at our hotel. Indeed, the aurora was still visible from our hotel rooftop when we got back around midnight! At that moment, the thought that formed in my head was "why in the world did we go through such pain travelling through the forest when it can be viewed from the rooftop at our comfort?!" Apparently the chances of seeing aurora at the rooftop was much lower due to lights in the surrounding. But the aurora was so strong for the night that we are able to see it even in the presence of light :)

Day 4 - 231216

Levi - Ice fishing

My idea of ice fishing before the trip was just to get to a frozen lake nearby and fish. How hard can it be right? But the night before the activity I found out that we had to ride snowmobiles back into the forest (similar to the night before) in order to get to the frozen lake -.- 晴天霹雳.. hahaha.. I've developed a phobia of riding the snowmobile due to the long and stressful ride before. Luckily there were 2 girls who both wanted to ride the snowmobile so they took me and mabel on their snowmobiles (thank goodness!). And i was really glad that i was the pillion that day~ Bcos it was bright (unlike the night before) and the sky was soooo pretty! I was really enjoying my view throughout the whole ride to the lake~ I will be glad to be a passenger to any car/snowmobile anyday!

Fishing at the lake was a real torture.. hahaa.. Temperature dropped to about -10 and we were literally being frozen while sitting there and waiting for fishes to take the bait. No joke.. Talk about frozen face, hands and toes. It was one of the coldest experience we had in our trip. Oh well, none of the 35 people in our tour caught any fish.. but i think no one is too bothered about that.. we were more concerned if we were frozen to death. Lol!

Went back to Levi and visited the supermarket in our overalls (apparently it's quite common for anyone to be in the overalls anywhere in town) and it was free and easy for the rest of the day. Had our dinner at Kotipizza (which offers cheap pizzas) and the Hawaiian pizza was reallyyyyy good! I think that it's the best Hawaiian pizza i ever had although they had doubts on that. Hahaa~ They agreed that it was tasty though!

Aurora index was very high at night again! We parked at our hotel rooftop and managed to catch DANCING AURORA that night. We saw the auroras moving in front of us and it wasn't just the pure white/green light which people usually see, we even saw a tint of pink! Everyone on the rooftop were literally screaming when the aurora was dancing. It was truly a memorable experience! 

Day 5 - 241216

Levi - Husky ride, Snow Village

Before the husky ride, our tour guide got us feeling scared by sharing on his experience of flying off the ride as he didn't concentrate on the huskies. But it ended up to be very fun! Although my right foot was literally on the brakes the entire time as our 5 huskies were "flying" bcos we are considered quite light. The dogs keep getting too close to our guide just in front of us. After 5km my legs were feeling very tired already.. And it was snowing heavily during our ride too.. couldn't feel my own chin! Regretted not taking a pic of the aftermath of my frozen face, scarf and hat immediately after the ride haha.

Visited the Snow Village in the afternoon. It's a hotel made of snow/ice and the hotel rooms have beds made of ice too. Spent some time visiting the different themed rooms and the other areas. They also have a bar serving liquor in cups made of ice.

It was xmas eve and we were offered an xmas buffet dinner in our hotel. Most of the shops were closed since afternoon.. even the gondola ride which is required to bring us from our hotel at the top of the ski slope to the town.

Day 6 - 251216

Rovaniemi - Santa Claus Village, chasing northern lights

Merry Christmas~ It was such a different christmas in 2016 :) Visited Santa Claus village for the afternoon and mailed myself a postcard to be received in Dec 2017! Returned to our hotel in Rovaniemi and had xmas buffet dinner and gift exchange as arranged by our tour guide.

Our last night in Finland, and knowing that chances of seeing northern lights is quite high, we went to chase the aurora again in our tour bus. Our tour guide and bus driver also prepared drinks and sausages to BBQ in the cold. They cut branches as skewers for the sausages and helped to set up the fire as well. Enjoying the northern lights with our campfire in ultimate cold.. Thanks to Lorenzo for going the extra mile for us! Truly lucky to have him as our tour guide this trip!

Day 7 - 261216

Our last day in Rovaniemi, we stood in the open although it was snowing quite heavily. We were unwilling to get into any shelter bcos we know we will definitely miss this!! :') We walked around town, had lunch at this chinese restaurant which serves very nice sweet and sour pork (and our much needed rice!) and finally got onto our long flight unwillingly. Haha

This trip to Finland is really different from any other trips. The cold, the rides, the experiences.. Although the trip was expensive, I always believe money cannot buy experiences you gain from travelling. Thank you Finland for the awesome experience!

Bangkok [250916 - 290916]

Day 1 - 250916

Reached Bangkok early sunday morning, realised that this is a good timing to reach the airport, not much people around and we were able to get a taxi to the hotel almost immediately. Chiong to Chaktuchak right away, the air-conditioned section 2 and the cloudy weather is perfect for shopping on that day, at least we don't have to bear with the heat too much.

Visited Rod Fai market at night, quite like this market. Lots of stalls and it's also walking distance from the mrt. Had a 1.5hrs long massage too, so good for the tired legs!

 Day 2 - 260916

Shopping and eating continues~ Booked tickets at $20+ sgd for international buffet dinner at Baiyoke Sky Hotel, super worthwhile for the price! Includes entry to the revolving platform at the top floor too.

Day 3 - 270916

Took a 1-day tour to Safari World. The animal shows amazed us! It's actually the best animal shows I've watched so far. There was close interaction with animals too, unlike many other zoos.

Day 4 - 280916

What a twist of events on this day. Wanted to visit Grand Palace but ended up on a private boat ride, probably cos we got smoked by this uncle. But nonetheless, new experience.. It was freaking hot though, and we had to chiong to many places after the morning visit for our last min shopping and buying of snacks.

Day 5 - 290916

Grabtaxi has become our best friend in Bangkok. Visited Little Zoo Cafe before going to airport. Such a cool cafe with lots of exotic animals. We are able to touch and carry them too!

A good 5 days break :)

Taiwan [270416 - 040516]

Kaohsiung

Day 1 - 270416

Shinkuchan & Yuchu shopping district, Liuhe Night Market

Took HSR to Kaohsiung once we landed in Taoyuan. Stayed at Kindness Hotel which is near Formosa Boulevard station, loved this hotel! The hotel provides free snacks (which includes a variety of desserts, cake, pudding, bao, coffee, etc) 24 hours a day! You can enjoy it anytime you want. Went to the Shinkuchan and Yuchu shopping district in the afternoon, and explored Liuhe Night Market which is within walking distance from our hotel at night. Liuhe Night Market is rather small, selling mostly food and souvenirs only.

Day 2 - 280416

Lotus lake, Dream Mall, Ruifeng Night Market

Visited Lotus lake in the morning as I wanted to go to 龍虎塔. Weather was so hot that day! We also explored the temples around the area after that. Went to Dream Mall in the afternoon, the shopping mall was so empty.. Their arcade and games area is at the top floor of the building, and we took the Ferris wheel too. Didn't played the basketball machine for so long already, and it was too cheap to resist!

Visited Ruifeng Night Market in the evening, food area was crowded but shopping was rather good over there!

Miaoli

Day 3 - 290416

Flying Cow Ranch

Met our driver at Miaoli HSR station, and he took us to the Flying Cow Ranch in the afternoon. Quite disappointed with this place, the place is huge but does not have much animals and activities to do. Only stayed for about 1 hour+ and decided to go back to our hotel and rest. Miaoli is a rather quiet and town-like place, but we were lucky as it was a Friday when we were there, and the night market was operating just below our hotel (F Hotel)! Heard that the night market there doesn't open daily. The stalls at the night market are either carts with wheels or lorries converted to food stalls.

Day 4 - 300416

三義木雕, 勝興車站, 龍騰斷橋, Beitou hot spring, Ning Xia night market

Visited some attractions around Miaoli as we make our way to Taipei. Miaoli is a place where there are alot of hakka people, overall, it's quite a boring place. Lol. As that was about all in Miaoli, we proceeded to Beitou for a soak in the hot spring!

Checked into Dandy Hotel (Tianjin) in Taipei, very satisfied with the hotel as well! Me and sis had a good time watching taiwan variety shows every night till late, since we were finally not staying in a family room anymore =p Ning Xia night market was also within walking distance from our hotel, although it's rather far. This yam ball filled with salted egg yolk is heavenly~ So good that we bought some back to our hotel for supper!

Taipei

Day 5 - 010516

九份老街, 黃金瀑布, 陰陽海, 十分天燈, 十分瀑布, Shenkeng, Shilin Night Market

Visited Jiufen and it's surrounding attractions in the morning. Then proceeded to Shifen. Didn't visit Shifen during my previous trip to Taiwan and was looking forward to 放天灯. The weather forecast for that day was actually raining throughout the day. But fortunately, it wasn't raining when we reached Shifen. So we rushed for the 天灯 and when our 天灯 is up in the air, it started drizzling! So thankful that we managed to send it up into the air in time! Hope our wishes will come true! 十分瀑布 is very inaccessible, even when we had a driver, we had to walk a long way in and climb alot of stairs to finally reach the viewing platform.

As we still have some time after the last attraction, the driver suggested that we visit Shenkeng. Shenkeng is a place known for 臭豆腐, there are many stalls selling 臭豆腐 over there. There are also other food stalls and shops around the area. And lastly, Shilin night market for the night. Shopping was good there too, managed to grab a number of items.

Day 6 - 020516

国父纪念馆, Line Store, Taipei 101, Ximending

Line store taipei was rather small, and they don't have some of the items I wanted to buy! Zzz. Visited Taipei 101, didn't go up the viewing tower, just took a few photos nearby and left. Lol. Shopping at Ximending after that, and of cos, must have 阿宗面线! Oh, and our new discovery, we liked having the 苦瓜汁 at Ximending as well. This must be the only night that we didn't visit a night market. Lol, but nevertheless, spent our night having snacks at Ximending too.. Hahaa..

Day 7 - 030516

中正纪念堂, 龍山寺, 忠孝SOGO百貨, Wufenpu, Raohe St. Night Market

Our last day to chiong all the shopping, non-stop walking for about 12 hours (other than meal times)! I really couldn't feel my legs at the end of the day.. Hahaa.. But it was all worth it. The shoes we bought from Taiwan are all so cheap and good~ If there's a reason why I would like to visit Taiwan again, it will be for the shoes! Hahaha.
