DAY TWO of the awesomely good trip!(: 
the routine- after breakfast @ the hotel!(: 
went back to get jiapei to wake up while joy and i camwhore while waiting!(:  


 and finally the girl is ready!(: pictures and off we go to explore the beautiful country!

 Group pics! set off nicely and come back shaggggg and cui at night!

 some shots of the hotel room!
 the key to my heart ( cupboard actually)


 the v untidy bed. we got so messy that the cleaner even had to tidy up our shoes, had more than 10 pairs as the days goes by! super hilarous! and we couldnt even  walk out of our room properly!

our first stop! just two mins away from us.
Ding cha!(: the pudding milk tea there is to die for!
 the two girls daily fun- attacking each other. and then turn to attack me tgt. #sadlife.

training to our destination! 
DANSHUI((: 
went to queue for this famous cake shop! 
limits of two per customer and a long wait. 
its cheap though. three for a huge piece of cake. 
that is awesomely good stuff. 
simple and old styled 

this mad woman got so bored that she started doing all sorts of poses! 



 all the food at dan shui! its a food heaven there!
 the tall icecream.
 and after these shots, the ice cream melts like mad. the scorching sun!!


 this mushroom is THE thing. so crispy on the outside, and juicy inside.
 the poster girl to be. mushroom lover.

another one(: 
this is the shop!! and we couldnt resist! 

 bought another version of it to try!

and we saw this!!!(: excited cux we saw taiwan variety shows saying this is awesome!

and then we saw interesting stuff and had to try again! 
fried milk! so innovative yeah. 

and it tasted pretty good too! 
 

another shop to try! scallop!(: 


 
 already v full but still trying it no matter what!
something like sorbet and its only 2 singapore dollars for four scoops! 
the pink guava one is good! 

after that, we took a long bus ride to dan shui yu ren ma you!(: 
long bus ride to recover our tiredness!

and this sunny beauitful place is worth a visit. 
bring the food over and have a simple picnic in the breeze.
we had our cake and mua chee to keep company!


left this place we head to shilin night market. 
i love this night market though there were no so good reviews on this NM. 
but we enjoyed ourselves there. 
shopping for shoes and clothes and buying the famous fried chicken! 
and  we ended the day with a feast in our hotel room!(: 

the girl with her ding cha again!(:

Taiwan, finally!

DAY 1: finally gonna write up a post on it before i forget all the details.
good way to rem and recap for my next trip there. already looking forward to it!
I MISS TAIWAN! A WHOLE LOT.
left a part of my heart and soul behind there.
hmm, and a part of them in korea! if i leave more behind each city i go to, then wouldnt it be such a nice thing to keep memory for the future.

Travelling is food for the soul(:
and this time round, i went with the precious friends that i have known for ten years and counting(:

Group pic at the airport!(: playing with the effects on joy's new toy, which i loveeeee alot. 
should i should i...

hehehe, my fav shot!(: 

joy's version!(: 

and our pet!

all things that glitters is love. esp glittery flats! 

and after a 4 hours flight, we are finally in TAIWAN!(: 

we took Free-go bus (not free btw) 5502 to ximending! its an hour ride from taoyuan airport! 


jp and my new love!(: morgan watch from the in flight shopping. 
we seldom have the same taste! 
joy din get to buy cux there were only two:( 
major bummer but she did manage to get one on our journey back. 
the first out of the many same things we got! 

major headache, flying is the most sian part of a trip! 

reached In-house hotel, a super modern and chic hotel(:
super satisfied with it!
got to say hotels are an essential part of the stay and  am glad we ( or I) made the choice to chose this hotel even though its a bit more expensive. hehe, made my jie meis spent more!

First meal in taiwan, @ pasta bar. 
which was simply disappointing. 
i know, why chose pastas, but then it was raining!!!:(


nice presentation, but actually taste worse than pastamania! 

still, got to post with it! hehe!

came of of the restuarant, and the sky cleared up! yeah! 
time for some shopping in ximending!(: 
bought some shoes ( guilty for shoes freak!)




wrapped icecream with peanut shavings, how could something so simple be so nice!!(: 
majot love.

and then, koi!! or wu shi lan. 
CHEAP! but not the best in taiwan imo. 

cong you bing!(: plain with egg, simply awesome street food!


did our manicure at Cinderella!(: a nail parlour just outside of ximending exit 6! 
satsified!pretty nails to accompany us for the seven days here.

ended the day with a mango shaved ice dessert! yumms!
