Taiwan-Day 4/5
Day 4- HualienBooked a driver to drive us to Hualien and sightsee along the way. The road to Hualien is super dangerous, heard that its the only way and there might be rock erosion, the protective netting that we saw definately wont be sufficient, somemore Hualien always kana earthquake, so people who went up there can only pray it wont happen. Last yr, 2van went down the hill and 1 wasnt found yet, scary shit. Also, their width of road is like our one way and even big trucks travel at lightning speed, I think its irresponsible but that's the way since zillion yrs I guess. Our driver also speed on the narrow road and nv fails to try to overtake big vehicles, its very dangerous, I no like. :( In Hualien, of course there's countless of san san shui shui. Breath-taking. Worth it or not? Mmmm.. Once in a lifetime ok. Mr Brown Castle- Coffee house at the top of the mountain Quite famous for drama-shooting I heard.  Went to this place to see the pacific ocean. It was windy w light rain, everyone was cold and the hot potatoes & snacks tasted extremely good! Esp the potato, it was heavenly!    I extremely love this shot! Depicts how hungry we are! ^^  Moved on to Yan Zi Dong- My hometown! But not the season, don't know where all my members went, haha.. Ques: Why did swallows always open their mouth when they fly? Ans: The minerals are in the air, so they eat as they fly! Cool shit! So convenience!  2lines of lion statues- Next ques: How to differentiate the Male and the Female? Ans: There's always a baby next to a Female & a playing ball with the Male  Continue w more San San Shui Shui...    That's our driver in grey. Thank him for the extra knowledge. :)) He looks fierce at 1st sight but was actually quite humourous. Btw, the Peanut Popiah Ice Cream is my personal fav! He wanted to treat all of us, how nice of him!  THIS IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU GO HUALIEN. DIE DIE MUST FIND THIS STORE! THE 'CONG YOU BING' IS FREAKING AWESOME! We regret not buying more cus Taipei's not anything like that~  At night, we went to 2 of their night markets and finally... WE FIRE OUR OWN FIREWORKS! Omg, this is like another dream come true, haha.. Super duper fun thou it didnt lasted long. Cant do this in Taipei, only Hualien. :)) We did the individual ones; then one with 12shots. SUPER COOL! If only we can do this @ Marina Barrage!   Back to our Minsu, we spotted a mahjong table at the hallway and asked for it! Surely its not one of their facilities but thankfully the owner is nice enough to lend us! We just played 1 round to guo guo ying, we need sufficient sleep for the next day, ha!  Oh yes, we stayed in PRINCE MINSU! Recommended! Cosy stay; affordable price; can play mahjong! lol.  They took over my throne so boo to them! haha..   My room-mates! 4 in a rm is really nice! Taken in the guys room- their's is brighter and nicer~  Our's is more of ethic feel, old Jap style; cosy  Good for gamble this Minsu, even got complimentary poker cards!  Another reason why is it good: THE CARPET MATCHES OUR FIREND's CLOTHES! HAHA!  DAY 5- Back to Taipei Complimentary breakfast @ Queen's! Nice interior & delicious breakfast~    After breakfast, it was time to go back to Taipei! This time, we took their train. I expected old & rusty train which will rocked you back to Taipei. But their train newer than our's, as in Msia's.. More like MRT train.   We checked in to Rainbow Hotel No pictures cus hotel was so so, breakfast was sama sama; I think why people recommend this hotel is simply due to their location. We found MOMO Paradise finally! Wanted to go on day 1 but couldnt find. It was damn good, those free flow of air-flown meat.. ahhh!   Then we went to ZhongXiaoDongLu area for more shopping. Terrible loots as always but its good for window shopping! We had an early night finally! ^^ |
