Originally we wanted to sit a taxi to our hotel at
Before we go to take the high speed rail, we went to find the counter to do the youth card, the youth card is available for those between the age of 15 to 30.
For more information regarding the youth card the website is http://tour.youthtravel.tw/travel2009/.
At the airport most of the things do have english wording and direction, and it is quite easy to find the way to the bus termnial, we buy a ticket from one of the ticketing counter.
As our stomach is getting hungry, we went to the cafe at the high speed rail to have our lunch, the food there is not bad.
After we have our lunch we went on to buy a ticket to
After we reach
We got lost after we arrive at ximending, and we end up asking people for direction to our hotel.
Lucky that Taiwan people are friendly and will tell us the direction, just that the direction that they guided us was in chinese, and the both of us dont quite understand chinese, end up the person use hand to point out the direction to us. Haha
Finally when we found the hotel, the counter inform us that the room is not ready yet and to come back after 5pm to check in.
So we went to the Long Shan temple by their MRT, and after that we were trying to find our way to walk to hwa hsi jie one of the night market and we got lost.
After that as we saw the time was about 6pm we were trying to find our way back to the hotel to check in, we went to any of the bus stop, and we found that there is bus that go back to ximending, we went up the bus and found out that we were more lost after that.
We reach the interchange for the bus and we are lost for good, haha.
We cross the road and we saw the same bus no, and we went up the bus, and this time round we ask the bus driver if the bus will reach ximending.
The bus driver is so friendly, he talk to us and told us that he guess that we were lost and inform us that we do not need to tap when going up the bus. He guide us around the area that he travel and inform us of the attraction on the way, and also inform us to stop at ximending.
The people in Taiwan is really very friendly, whether it at the airport or in Taipei inself.
By the time we reach the hotel it was already 7pm and the sky has turn dark, we check in and get ready to go out again to have our dinner and also to go Taipei 101.
We went to sit the MRT again, and we ask for direction to Taipei 101, the person inform us that we still have to sit another bus before we are able to reach, he told us that after we exit from the station there is a free shutter bus to go Taipei 101.
We went out and we do not know which is the free shutter bus, so we saw a bus that put Taipei 101, we board the bus and we ask the driver if the bus go to taipei 101, the driver say yes.
After we have reach Taipei 101, we went to the counter to buy tickets to go up to the highest floor.
The lift that is going up is so fast that it cause my ear to be block again, after taking some picture and exploring, we went to the basement to eat MOS burger. The taste of the burger is so much different from Singapore haha.
After that we went to Roahe night market, we buy a belt and a bigger bag there, as we walk along the night market we also buy afew present, we saw mango xue bing stall.
We stop and eat the mango xue bing, the serving is very big as compare to Singapore, and it is also quite cheap and it is super nice.
But eating something so cold in a cold winter night, I feel more cold after eating it haha.
Lucky we are walking and or we will be very cold.
We went back to our hotel after finishing at the night market, we put the things down.
Taipei seems to be dark quite early, it can get dark from around 5pm onwards.
