12 May (Fri)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Breakfast at hotel\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 which was rather sucky by now.. coz it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s the usual sunny-side up egg, vege, porridge, bread and very oily ham.. not too nice\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 BUT since we paid for it, we have to eat it..<\/p>\n

After we braved the cold and the rain yesterday, we decided to bring our jackets and umbrella\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 haha\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 the hotel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s umbrella is really cute and weird at the same time\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 haha<\/p>\n

Head for CKS memorial Hall<\/strong>.. which was ez to go since, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s juz a mrt ride away\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 <\/p>\n

we reached there early coz we wanted to see the changing of guards thingy\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.BUT we were too early\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6so\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 we took pictures of each other to pass time!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Anyway, the changing guards thing was really nothing much\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kinda like our changing guards ceremony at the Istana.<\/p>\n

After which, we went to the Xinyi District\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 those high-class shopping centres are located there\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. Wah.. and my sis bought a authentic Emily the Strange bag there! She\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s like got money means muz spend lor\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 <\/p>\n

Then we took picture of the Taipei 101, which was pretty tall\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 haha\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and we made a BIG discovery!!! Look at the following pictures first!<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/p>\n

Man!! The building is falling!!! Haha\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 juz joking.. it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s juz the angle lar\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. BH is such a good photographer! Wahaha\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and for that\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 he got scolded by my sis ;X<\/p>\n

The rest of the day was SHOPPING day for us! Went to Wufenpu.. which was a wholesale place\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 they sell lots of clothes (male + female) at a low price\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6so I bought like 2 blazer-like jackets there..which was abt $10 cheaper than Singapore\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and a nice dress\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the bad side abt buying at Wufenpu is\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 all clothes are FREE size, means\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 it may not fit you perfectly and you CANNOT TRY the clothes\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 so I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t buy much..<\/p>\n

At night.. we walked ard at XMD and ate a delicious meal.. which was quite expensive in my opinion\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 BUT we are able to spend $$ on a ex dinner because\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 we cannot get train tickets to Hualien on sat!!! As it was Mother\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day on Sunday! Very disapted\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 BUT I think BH and my sis were quite happy\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 haha.. coz they can shop more\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and going to Hualien means we need to do some trekking\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6and all of us were quite tired\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

Oh\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and we ate Ah Zhong Mian Xian! It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s super yummy!!! Muz try! BUT I think there were some pork in the noodles\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 well\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. We didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t eat it\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 gave it all to BH.. haha<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We ended our night early abt 12? As.. we felt tt we needed to utilize the flat-screen TV in our room! <\/p>\n

13 May (Sat)<\/strong><\/p>\n

We woke up slightly late\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 coz\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 no pt waking up sooooooo early mah\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 all the shops dun open so early\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 haha<\/p>\n

So we went shopping again\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. This time at HuoCheZhan, which is at the Railway Station.. iyah\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 nothing much lar\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 dunno why the pple in the forum say tt it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a good shopping place\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

We went to this Art and Craft Street instead\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 where BH needed to help his mum to buy some stuff\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 and my sis and I ended up buying beads and all\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 to mk our own jewelry! I muz say tt the beads and blingsX2 are quite cheap there\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 oh well\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 ur fren here.. haven\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t started mking the necklace or brooch yet.. haha<\/p>\n

After which, we took a long bus ride to Tianmu<\/strong> (which is kinda like our Holland V)\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 except tt at Tianmu, pple go there for hikes…and the scenery is quite nice… and v cooling…the shophouses there overlook a hill… nice…<\/p>\n

At Tianmu, we went to this popular restaurant known as PS BUBU<\/strong>, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a place where u dine inside the vintage VW. If u rem the popular drama , Liu Xing Hua Yuan, this is the place where San Cai and Dao Ming Si ate ice-cream at. Tell u, the food here is extremely ex\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 luckily we reached the place at 4pm? Else we wld have no seats\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 still nvm\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 if you wanna mk a reservation, the 3 of us muz eat at least 500NT each ($25SGD)! <\/p>\n

We spent a long while there\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 it was very empty at tt weird timing.. so we manged to tk pics with all the cars! Wahahaha\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 the pics are very nice\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6. show u guys some! haha<\/p>\n

man… the drink is like 1 cup for 180NT ($9SGD).. can’t rem how much the rest of the food cost.. luckily, we didnt eat a full meal…else we will be soo broke!<\/p>\n
