Go places. See and do things with us!
How will you like the big picture first?
Rather than showing you an overview (of the food items we’ve enjoyed only at the end of our 5-parts Let’s Eat In Taipei review), I wondered if it’ll be better to begin our review of the places we’ve been with this [...]
Oops, it was lunchtime! We were supposed to check out our hotel by 1pm.
My wife called TS counter and informed them we would be late, and if need be, we’ll foot the TWD100 for an extra hour of room use.
We don’t want to miss the coach to the airport!
…. Day 7: Taipei Zoo . XiMenDing Lunch . TS Hotel . TTIAirport ….
3 Oct 2006. Last day in Taipei!
We needed to be in the airport before 5pm for the flight home. The bus to take us there would leave our hotel at 3pm. That left us with a quick hour perhaps, to freshen up, [...]
It’s small. It’s stinky. It’s the infamous Taiwanese dish ChouTouFu Stinky Tofu!
The dreaded stench (sorry if it’s aroma to you) effectively drew our attention to a small stall selling a deep-fried small serving version (TWD20).
My wife found enough courage to try - finally, haha!
…. Day 6: Train Travel to/from RuiFang . JiuFeng Town . GongGuan Nite Market . XiMenDing ….
Before we leave for home tomorrow, let’s go somewhere farther out of Taipei!
We relished our Hotel Breakfast as a daily luxury, then headed out happily. Got 2 one-way tickets TWD80 each person for top line ZiQiang Train at [...]
The plain plantation in view was all brown and green. No, there was no white lily in sight!
It must be anything but the lily blooming season now haha! It was a hit-and-miss attempt to bring my wife up here for her glimpse of the lilies.. Sorry dear!
…. Day 5: YangMingShan: Calla Lilies Farm . XiaoYouKeng . Miramar: Geant, Carrefour, Ferris Wheel ….
Ready to scale dizzying heights with us today? Let’s go!
A good late hotel breakfast, then we rushed off to ShiLin Mrt Station. Enquired at the Station info counter, then waited obediently under a shelterless bus stop beside the Station for [...]
No signs was around to show the way to the nearest place of relief!
At thrice the speed we hiked up minutes ago, we trodded down to Cable Car Station. It was the nearest place where the crowds were (so would the washroom be located there, we reckoned).
Anyhow, sprinting downhill was that much easier! [...]
…. Day 4: WuLai . East Metro Mall . Sogo . Chill at TS ….
Just after we had our yummy hotel breakfast, the first sign of trouble appeared.
I was having the runs (diarrhea). It must be the three pieces of margarine-laden Pineapple Cakes washed down with super slimmy Frog-Lay-Egg Bubble Tea last night!
Do [...]
We had seen the Cake Shop on our way into Starbucks.
My wife had commented how fanciful the cakes were, so.. Maybe I could spring a surprise for her - as a special treat in this foreign land on this honeymoon?
