Sayonara, Taiwan...

May 14, 2007

2dae me n my mum were de oni ones waking up early. De others took tis last day as an opportunity to slp as long as they lyk.

So aft breakfast, de both of us went to red playhouse n presidential bldg to take pics. Actly tt was wat I intended to do in de morning. But as there was still some time, we’ve decided to take de mrt to 龙山寺 to view de most famous temple in Taipei. When we reached there, I was shocked to learn tt actly there were places 4 shopping over there, called龙山寺地下街 n龙山寺商场. N when we reached to temple, there were oredi many pple there praying as well as many jap tour grps. I din expect tt it’s Monday n there to be so many believers. Some were praying, others were reading de Taoist bibles @ many diff corners.

We still had some time to return to de hotel n take a rest b4 chking out. So aft we chked out, we went to 西门町 tt was de nearest pl to shop fr our hotel. Tt was really a fruitful trip. 1st we went to haf lunch in 阿宗面线. There were many pple makaning there. N de funny thing is tt there’s no table or chair n everyone can oni stand while eating. It’s noodles were hot n smooth… hmm… yummy yummy! There’s a tv in de shop, n some pple were facing de tv while eating.

I happened to find a shop tt sells a lot of manga! So much so tt some were not even found in those manga shops tt I’ve been to. Those manga were on de 2nd floor, n on de 3rd floor it’s a theme restaurant where de waiters n waitresses cosplay. On de 4th fl there were many cosplay costumes! Tis place is really lyk a heaven! It’s such a pity tt I oni found it @ tis moment when I’m abt to leave, n I couldn’t spend much time over there.

I oso bought a lipstick, fr a brand called majolica Majorca. It’s a jap brand not found in s’pore. I need a lipstick, n I’ve wanna try other brands. N aft tt, in order not to miss taiwan’s kfc so much, we went to snack there. I really miss it’s egg tarts a lot. It’s so soft n smooth tt I hope 1 day s’pore’s kfc will intro tt too.

Aft de last trip, we went back to de hotel to wait 4 de bus. N to our surprise, we expected a 20-seater bus but it happened to be de large tour bus! De seats were even much bigger n more comfortable than our previous tour bus! When we reached de airport, chk in, changed currency, it’s now time 4 us to say sayonara to Taiwan. Dunno when will be de next time we meet…

There’s even more interesting things in de plane. Ard 7 to 8 rows were practically empty! It’s really so shiok tt we were able to each person occupy 1 row n view de scenery fr de windows. I even tried Bacardi w/ coke while enjoying a movie cast by Cameron diaz n kate winslet. De spirit really tasted awful, lyk medicine. @ 1st I asked de air steward if can add orange juice to Bacardi, n he recommended to add coke or sprite instead, or else volka w/ orange juice. Seems lyk I was making a full of myself b4 him! Aft drinking, my eyes n cheeks turned red! It’s de 1st time tis happened aft I oni drank 1 glass! When we finally reached s’pore, we bought duty-free red wine n beer b4 we really stepped out of de airport to breathe in s’pore’s air! Welcome back, ting!
