Holiday trip 18th May - 22nd May 2006, Taipei

We were glad our hotel room was clean and nice for the amount we paid. The toilet was totally clean, and there's a mini water cooler..with both hot and cold functions for ur water. You dun even haf to go to the corridor to take water!

The Miramar Fairy Wheel is the World's 2nd largest Ferris Wheel! We took it at night...so it was very cooling, and the point is when we were at the very very top, there was this strong gush of wind and our carriage are literally kinda swinging!!! *heart drops out* argh!!!

Aiya the food... self explanatory...dun haf to say so much hehe. Another highlight is the National Palace Museum. They have a total of 750,000 national treasures! They have so many items that they have to change all items every 3 months. I was stunned to know that, if you want to finish seeing ALL of them, you have to spend a whopping 10 YEARS!

As for the hot spring... I would really love to go to the public pool in the day! This way, you can enjoy the scenic view and the natural cool breeze! But the thing is u have to go NAKED.... omg I cant imagine myself exposing all my fats to other women. DUH DUH DUH

Here comes the culture shock:
1. The people queue up and REALLY keep right on the escalator. (refer to pic)
2. The people queue up in the drawn lines for the MRT, and REALLY let passengers alight first then slowly move in.
3. The train's crowded but there were just 2 empty seats that no one wanna sit - cos they are for Elderly, Pregnant Women, and Children.
4. Macdonalds doesnt serve chilli sauce. (Eve I think u will die there haha)
5. They dont provide plastic bags when u buy things. Either you bring your own, or you buy a plastic bag from them. (Enforcing recycling I think)

Yes Eve, the Hello Kitty KTV machine sux to the max. we have to press the buttons to navigate you see, so while I was singing, my bf keep pressing la... BUT THE STUPID THING IS THIS... everytime u press a button, it produces a loud "DEH" sound. So u can just imagine la... when I sing, then theres this stupid continuous DEH DEH DEH DEH DEH DEH DEH DEH sound. -_-"
