Taiwan Day 1
Wednesday, June 30, 2010
30.06.10

First, we are all safely in Taiwan!!! :D

Next, I'm elated there's wifi here!!!

Third, I'm alone with my Darling now while she's sprawled on the floor counting money when we should be doing something else. *shrugs*

Better blog this trip down before I forget.

Supposed to meet at airport at 5.45am. As usual, the pig was late. She only left house at like 6am++?? Pig pig pig. I wonder when will she EVER be punctual? I like meeting with people who are punctual. At least now I can estimate my time on who to be late when I go out with them!

*Just 'drew lots' and I'm sleeping with my Darling. I just knew we were ever so fated :) *

It's been so long since I sat a full carrier flight. I swear never to sit a budget airline ever after experiencing the comforts of service. It so rocks. Budget is.... just not for me!!! No food no drinks. Cramped seats. And less attractive attendents. HAHA!!!!

We've spent the whole day travelling to Tai Zhong. Morning flight 8am. Reached HK at 12pm. Transit at 1.15pm. Reached Taiwan around 4pm. Wasted a lot of time there. Boarded bus at 4.45pm. Reached Hotel at 8pm.

The bus ride was incredibly long. And we had a hard time finding the hotel. Not to mention, the pedestrian crossing is NOT safe at all! The cars there won't stop for you at all. You have to cross only when there are no cars. Which excludes the point of a pedestrian crossing if you ask me. So you managed to survive crossing a huge road filled with endless traffic. Save for the day.

Went to Feng Jia Night Market. DAMN THE FOOD SERIOUSLY ROCKS!!!!

Throughout the cab journey we kept screaming and whinning how hungry we were to the cab driver. Thankfully, he's a fun one too and didn't seem to mind but enjoyed our noisy company instead haha!

Fried mushroom there is.... DIVINE!!! So were the sausages. And quill eggs.
SMELLY TOFU!!!!!!!!!! LOVES!!!
Big sausage wrapped with rice cake?
A tall tower ice cream
Grilled sotong... FUCKING NICE!
Wrapped duck taco
Puffy bread on a bowl with corn soup below?
Red tea is.... JUST NICE!!!!!

Pig blood cake was fucking disgusting. Ewww....

Bought my purple leggings. A gray parka. A black cardigen.

Animal Kingdom surprised me by singing randomly a Happy Birthday song in the cab because it struck 12 then. HAHA!!!! My birthday cake was an ice cream with two pokey sticks poking out o.o;;

Spent 1375NT today.
