Its a pretty interesting trip this time round, although we didnt visit too many places (tight budget...hmph) and my appetite somehow went on vacation....but nonetheless, I still had loads of fun. Especially the shopping, ah!
First day
Very chaotic start for a trip...my dad's flight was 2 hours after ours, so we went to the airport tgt. After I've checked in, we realised that he actually brought the wrong passport, the expired Singapore passport instead of the new China passport (both same colour). In a flurry, he and my mum rushed home to look for the right passport.
Still couldnt find it when I boarded the plane....feeling abit guilty to leave them behind. Kinda dampened our excitement....fortunately, he managed to find the right passport in time (its actually in his luggage all this while) to board his plane.
Okay, enough of the rubbish....here goes the pix!
Welcome to Taipei!
2nd thing to dampen our spirits......all the $1000 dollar notes I got are expired!
Taipei government just changed their currency, all thousand and five hundred notes shall be exchanged @ a specific bank before 31st July. I reached Taipei on 7th Aug. Damn.
Coach from airport to Grand Hyatt Hotel...only NT$145. An hour trip (cos traffic jam).
Stunned. Its raining. Typhoon on our very first night. (Huimin's sis, Carol said we brought the rain....huimin had sun-burn two days before we arrived...)
The proof ----- Huimin's sun burn mark.
Second Day
Its raining, man! Helluluva....
Its not my first trip to Taipei, but I'm still not used to their big big biiiiiig mrt stations....
Starting to drizzle when we stepped out...
@ Raku. Charcoal-stove bbq & steamboat.....lookatthefood.
Free flow and free flow and free flow of haagen daaz & Meiji ice cream!
-some other pics which are from Huimin's cam I'll post in newstation-
First stop after our heavy meal.....五分埔！
They're stocking up A/W 07 stuffs now, clearing away all the S/S 07 stuffs.....almost every shop are stacking their sales item outside their shop. Selling @ NT$100 - 390.
Happie girl....she overspent! Tsk tsk tsk....
I bought this for Hj......the salesgirl here very nice. (and pretty)
We bought the most from this shop....not only their clothes are nice, their sales are very attentive and helpful, not to mention, gave us so much discount that their casheir had to fork out the outstanding amount from his own pocket..........
Strongly recommended, get the address of this shop from me if you're interested. They have a variety of cutie sweet dresses, layered tops, basic camisoles blah blah blah.....all of fine quality. We even went back again on the 2nd last day to get some more stuffs. =)
Which is probably why we ended up like that....
Oh.my.gosh.
"No! No! Take it away! It hurts!"
to be continued.....
