Taiwan Trip– Part 1

 

After more than 1 month, finally I’m going to blog about my Taiwan trip! Forcing myself to update because procrastination kills me. I’m a super lazy human.

Anyway, this is my first time travelling oversea at own expense. My wallet is bleeding now. And also the first time visiting Taiwan of course! :) I was so excited when the trip is confirmed. (Not including the fact that I need to pay)

The flight took almost 5 hours. 3000++ kilometres. Eva Air is awesome! Got to watch movies and listen to songs in the plane. Or  all other airlines are the same? haha..no idea

It was 8pm when we arrived at Taiwan. After checking-in to the hotel, then we go makan. Now i realised i didn’t take picture of the 卤肉饭 we ate, it was really good!

Later went to explore their 7-11, which is much more cooler than those in Malaysia. We bought some instant noodles.

Next morning, woke up at 5.30am. The sky is this bright at 6am! I think all Taiwanese wakes up super early everyday.

The first place we visited is 自由广场, previously known as 中正纪念堂. I guess this place is a must for visitors like us, to prove that we have visited Taiwan XD

It was very windy and cold that day. That’s why my hair was so messy. Nonetheless, I like the weather a lot.

I find it quite difficult to blog in English about Taiwan. Everything is in Chinese there.

I’m going to skip to lunch straight just because I’m too lazy to blog about everything. 小笼包 & 酸辣汤 & fried rice

yum yum :D

The last picture is the dessert. I forgot what it’s called.

 

 

 

 

The next stop is JiuFen. A cooling place, somewhere like Cameron Highland. According to our tour guide, this place is famous for Taufufa and 芋圆. Only get to try this 2 flavours.

Night market time!

逢甲夜市

Everyone knows about their night market culture. The 臭豆府 is good. I don;t like the smell but this one is really crispy and taste good.

大肠包小肠, another famous food there. Have to queue up to buy. The taste is good but we have to share to finish one. It’s basically Taiwanese sausage wrapped in glutinous rice with some chilli/garlic.

Spent quite much time in that night market, have to take a cab to get back to our hotel.

Not to mention I have bought 3 pairs of shoes there. =P

 

Next day,

中台禅寺

日月潭 & 文武庙

After having lunch, it started raining so we didn’t get to take pictures by the lake side. I made a wish at the temple for all Group20 peeps. :)

Having hot baked sweet potato during a rainy day is so blissful.

After that, we went to a place called 安平老街 I think.. can’t remember. Had our dinner there, these are Hakka food if I’m not mistaken. Most of the food is delicious except 棺材板, don’t like the taste.

After the dinner, went back to hotel. The hotel we spent that night is the best hotel during our trip. It’s something like resort. Had some beer before we sleep. I still remember my dad told me not to drink too much when I told him we were drinking beer..haha XD

I need to stop this post here, need to sleep now, having 8am class tomorrow. Going to be busy this weekend, I think I’m going to have only few hours sleep for the next 2 days.

Till the next post.
