Travelogue: Taipei girlie time

19 September 2012

2nd trip to Taipei this year. This time round not the usual tourist must-go places like the previous! My travel companion of the trip, Jane, my girlie! ^^

Pretty pink luggages make us happy

And our very sweet Pk sent us all the way to Taipei!! Hehehe

New in Tiger's menu, fruit cup! Quite yumz!

Love~~

Yayhooo! Arrived at Taipei, first time after immigrations was getting our data sim cards! Haha, I am a crazy internet freak who constantly needs to be connected to the world

Took bus 2060 to Taipei City Hall station

Arrived 1 hour later, and we both we hungry! This bread shop totally made us drool!

The bread all looks damn good right!

So we made our way to our apartment, which is a really short walk from the station. Super happy with the room! Very pretty, girly, lacey, floral-y! Totally lovin' it!!!!

The amenities corner

We stayed at an apartment called Ann's house. It's not a hotel and can't be found on Agoda and such. Gotta book directly from the owner. Very glad we booked this apartment though we sort of book the wrong location. But nevermind, no regrets!

They have their own kitchen and washing machine. It just totally feels like a home! And their rooms are sooo girly that I doubt any guy will wanna stay here. So I felt really safe in there, like a girls' dormitory! 

Check out their website if interested!

First stop, our FAV 鲁肉饭 from 胡须张. A MUST MUST MUST eat in Taipei. It's damn goooood!

We went to taipei main station underground mall to do some shopping. There's many cheap and nice shoes there! And look, what a cute dust cover!!! 

Oh I forgot to mention that we had 3 sidekicks for this trip. These 3 don't even understand chinese yet wanna go taipei. So we were sort of their saviors, helping them with all the translations and stuff.

Bbt!!

Of course we had to go to shih lin!

We didn't check the weather forecast and totally underestimated the weather. Currently it's soon to be Autumn, so it's starting to get a lil breezy. The wind is really cold and we all packed summer clothings haha! Plus, that night it was raining. The temperature was like 21 degrees. So cold!!!! (for me) I had to buy a cardigen!

Cute ice shop

Back to our apartment! This is the "living room area". Very pretty!!!

Even has a desktop which just comes handy to us because Jane forgot to settle some things!

Day 2: 20 September

Breakfast from a random stall on the way to the MRT

Plan was to go to Leofoo Village theme park! We were approached by a driver at the bus stop who offered a good rate to fetch us there, so why not!

After about 1 hr 15 mins, we arrived!

The uncle actually accidentally gave us an extra ticket but we were so honest we returned it to him! Could've sold it or something

Yay excited!!

The souvenirs are so cute!

Shah decided to get an airbrush tattoo so he can impress girls in the club HAHA

As if it was painful.. Good acting

First ride and it was SUPER exciting!!!

Yes, it looks like this! If you ever watch 少年特工队 you would be farmiliar with this because 5566 always go there and take this ride as a challenge! LOVE IT!! SUPER SHIOK

And shah got stuck in the chair HAHAHAHA

It was so good we took it 2 times consecutively.

Anyway, did you realise that the theme park was very empty? That's such a good thing!!! Every ride we wanna take, we didn't have to queue! Wish everywhere was like this!

Next ride:

Didn't fancy this very much. I hate those rides that turns 360 degrees and hangs you there. Your whole weight is dependent on the harness. Gosh....

This ride is like the space shot in genting except it drops faster! I didn't dare to let go of the harness when it falls because your butt literally leaves the seat!

Lunch time!!

Another turn u 360 degrees ride i hate it!!!!

Shah's signature pose

Awww, love this shot

Shah looks damn retarded!!

Magic carpet :)

Another part of Leofoo village is like a Zoo! Many animals!

Am I the only one who thinks Zebras are sooooo cute???

I totally love Leofoo village. They've got awesome rides, there was no queue, there were no prcs, and the weather was extremely good!!!

Cute mascots!!

Parted with the sidekicks and Jane and I had some girlie time. We headed to the Agnes B cafe at 忠孝復興 station.

Such a pretty place!

Name of this tart is Paris. SUPER LOVEEE

Supper at 7-11

Yummy street food

Day 3: 20/9/12

Headed to Ximending early in the morning

阿宗面线!!

After that we made our way to the airport and stupid things had to happen to us. The journey took us longer than expected and we had to alight at the wrong terminal thanks to the bus uncle. Rushed like mad all the way to Terminal 1 and the counter was closed. Any pleading won't help. WE MISSED THE FREAKING FLIGHT!

Had an option to wait for the next tiger flight which was the next day at a cost of 30$ OR... Book a jetstar flight back at $140.

Jane and I decided to book the flight back and the sidekicks slept at the airport for that night!

After all the drama. Last pic before Jane and I left them!

My  阿宗面线 got confiscated at the immigrations. Too bad for you Qf!!

Taipei was sooo good! One of my fav places! Want to explore the other parts of Taiwan the next time round. See you again soon, Taiwan!
