My 7-days taiwan tour was too tiring to be fun. To cover the whole of taiwan in just 6 days is not easy. We had to take a few hours of the coach just to reach our next destination. We had to wake up at around 6 everyday in order to avoid traffic congestion and will only go to bed at around 12, not enough sleep ok. It was practically "shang che shui jiao, xia che niao niao + a bit of sight seeing" And with my 2 little cousins Carina and Carissa, who constantly wants to pull my hands whenever they walk, i could not do much shopping. In the end, i spent less than S$100 there, partially also because it's the winter season now and there are not many clothes that are suitable for Singapore's climate.
Singapore Airport.
Our first destination was a Theme park called Lefuo or something like that. The theme park was filled with many exciting rides, but it is disappointing that we only had 2.5hrs to explore the whole place. Not even enough to take 1/4 of the rides.
Our tour guide then brought us to this very crowded Ah zong mian xian stall and said that it's vvv delicious, but it just tasted like any other ordinary mian xian to me
The next day we coached to this place full of rocks, which is famous because one of the rocks looks like Queen elizabeth's(i think) head. If you can see, it's actually the smallest and furthest away in the photo. It is estimated that her neck will be completely eroded in 15 years. hah.
There!
Erosion
Did i mention i saw bang bang tang on the street? Why wasn't it Luo zhi xiang! zzz
My mum and sister are supposed to grab the golden ball.
THIS IS NOT PORN. You will see a lot of girls like this along the streets selling Bing Lang. My tour guide( a bit cheekoh one) purposely went to the back of the bus so that she will have to walk all the way in to sell him the bing lang. My sister took a photo with her, but i cropped it out. haa. She's quite pretty by the way. Anyway, i dont understand why they like to eat bing lang. I tried one, but spat it out immediately, cause it is horrible. x.x It was green initally, but turned red upon chewing.
This is at a v unique restaurant known as wu jiao chuan ban. It's so artistic that it doesn't even looks like a restaurant. Too bad my camera went dead at that place, didn't manage to get a photo of it's exterior.
Zhong Zheng Ji Nian Tang.
This is my whole tour group of 42 people. It's so rare that you have 42 ppl in one group. Spot me!
The cheekoh Tour guide who really knows his country well. He can just go on and on about everything - taiwan's history, government( he even criticized Cheng Shui Bian.haha), temples, fruits,land, honey, diabetes, illnesses, fengshui, his family, himself, Sun yan zi, Zhou Jie Lun( after which he commented that ugly ppl are invading the showbiz. WAHA I agree!), Ah du and LUO ZHI XIANG! Endless la. He even did an experiment with potato chips by burning it on the coach to show us how much oil it contains. I will try not to eat potato chips next time. hahah. Each piece contains ard 3 drops of oil, so the whole packet will have roughly one cup of oil. Imagine you drinking one cup of oil, eeeew.
The driver who drove us safely around the whole of taiwan.
Taipei 101. My hotel Grand hyatt is just beside it.
Carina!~
Taipei airport.
I realise i didn't take photo of some attractions, those were probably too boring so there's nothing much worth taking. haha. However, overall we had nice hotels, a comfortable coach and a knowledgable tour guide.
