I think this is quite late to blog about my Taiwan trip which fell in November 2013.
The girfriend asked me to blog about it but yes, me is super lazy type of person. BUT I did it at last because I find no entertainment to entertain myself in the hostel, so why not I just write the journey down for memorial-sake?
We have been quite a number of trips in 2013 which traveled in the country of Malaysia and Singapore only,
so this trip would definitely put a large tick for my wishlist in the past 2013! :D
Super excited and thrilled when the sweet bf handed me over the booking itinerary in the early of the year.
DAY 1
Took an early bus from Melaka Sentral to Lcct, aunty wanted to get us taxi or limo for a comfort ride and can have enough sleep before go to the airport. Super caring mom of the bf but I rejected because we better save the money for the trip instead right?
Happy kid!
I actually fly with AirAsia at least 25 times or more in a year but I don't know why I want to take photo some more.... like this,
Like super kiasu x.x
While waiting for boarding, this is useful.
Travel with AirAsiaX D7 and the most fun part is all are Chinese in the plane! Pardon me, I used to fly between KB-KL only. Hahaha!
Skip the flight meal part....
After 4 hours plus dehydrated in the plane,
HERE WE ARE IN TAIWAN!!!! *scream*
-Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 2-
Screaming in the inside after touched down.
All the workers there are all chinese as well thus made me even more hype hahaha
Cleared the custom checked and we rush to get ourselves local sim card but too bad the counters were all closed because it was already 11pm. So we rushed to take our bus to the budget hotel I booked earlier.
Every passenger was given a baggage tag after we loaded our luggage into the compartment of the bus, for security purpose I guess.
First thing that let us go WOW was this! Isn't it cute Hahaha!
Other than this kawaii board, what surprised me was the worker for the rubbish collecting duty, I saw a young female working in the duty! *clap*
Reach the budget hotel around 1 a.m. x.x
I was also amazed by the keyless control gate of this budget hotel! As there is no reception counter and the staff back home already yet we reached at midnight so the owner told me to whatsapp her and she then 'open' the door by the control system. Okay lah maybe I sua gu but I quite amazed by it lah! They even so considering coz there is wifi infront of the door with open network for the guests to contact them.
Budget hotel but ain't that "budget" at all! Don't ever compare the budget hotel in Taiwan with the Malaysia one, alright?
First thing that greeted us.
After dropped our luggage and put on the sweater, we go to the nearest 7-eleven for supper coz the bf cant wait to explore it and the flight meal portion just too little. There is 3 7-eleven outlets around the budget hotel so we got to explore everyone of them even though they are the same LOL
See the beverage part OMG
Variety of microwave food range from rice to hot dessert!
Odeon!
The bf's braised pork rice
Shared pizza
Mix fruit and vege juice for me.
DAY 2
The path that we passed by everyday to the railway station.
First breakfast in Taiwan, Yong He Soy Bean which also located near to our hotel.
The perfect combination.
We picked cheese egg roll and bacon cheese roll.
First stop - Taichung
We took High speed railway instead. High speed means at least 270 km/h yall
Malaysia should practice this too!
Pity us couldn't get to find any telco center to get our local sim and we only able to contact our family with wifi. The free wifi area at the taichung railway station.
Transit with bus to our next destination. Another thing (actually its quite a lot thing) that impressed me is their highway and the crossover. There are another layer of crossover above the crossover, crossoverception LOL and the crossover just pretty HIGH unlike those in KL lah
Raeched Sun-Moon Lake
My bf is a monster coz he get hungry easily =.= so here we are, the Carton King restaurant.
What so special about this restaurant is most of the things inside are made up cardboard.
We have this paper steamboat for sharing. It comes with complimentary rice, drinks and dessert.
Then, start our first visit to tourist spot - Sun-Moon Lake
Not easy to take a shot with this super hot spot as the scene of the lake can be captured as well together with the stone, we actually queue for this but the China tourist just super no manners, cut queue and all that just pissed us off.
The 'must buy' herbal egg. But the eggs are so salty and not as nice as we ate in Melaka one.
The most expensive hotel in there as said by the tour guide on the boat, as its toilet stool are made of gold. Yes, GOLD.
DIY souvenir.
We cant believe its only 4.30 p.m
The 6 p.m sky
Left Sun-Moon Lake for the next - Miyahara ice cream
I wanted to come here since long time ago so I was super excited and lead the bf with the map on my hand. I have to admit that he is more better in road guiding, I just too failed in this :( We rounded the same road for a couple times yet still can't find the exact place. He got pissed off and grab away the map from me then hold my hand to lead the road.
Okay I felt so sweet can :D thank God I managed to snap the moment down, the only way to freeze the memory.
Finally we reach! Pheww!
There are so many type of ice cream OMG OMG!
The chocolate series
The fruity series
The special flavour series, such as early grey, jasmine tea and so on!
The topping!
We picked kiwi and some kind of mixed tea flavour with the topping of native pineapple tart and cookies. I wanted to try cheesecake topping but sold out :(
We finally settled down our telco at 台湾大哥大 center near the ice cream place then proceed to the next stop - Feng Chia night market
I just mega love the 24 hour watson!!! Super convenient for me to shop until drop midnight!
Head back to Taipei.
That's all for the Day 1 (which is not so official) & Day 2 in Taiwan and sorry for the long lag photo post. Will update the rest of the trip IF me is rajin :D
Peace,
XOXO ♥
