We reach around 10plus in Taipei.. the first thing is... COOLING!!! hehehe.. The weather was like air con man. Nice weather. Temperature was around 13 degree to around 16 degree during the whole trip. We follow the tour for 7 days. Went many places, Tai chong, Hua Lian, Jiu Fen, Kao Hsiung, Tai nan, Taipei. Seeing rocks to sea... Eat, drink, shop, sleep.. Saw many nice and grand temples. We also went to the Hot Spring to bao wen quan. Wah.. the temperature of the water was HOT! hahaha. like burning man! cannot tahan.. Quite lame.. it is a must to wear swimming cap! hahaa. Didn't bring camera down, heng never take any pictures of the wen quan. But it is quite a good place to rest and relax, but you can't stay in the water for too long. Limit to 10 minutes.. Rest a while then dip again for 10 mins. We only stay for around 10 mins.. haha cannot tahan liao.. seems to be dehdyrating liao. =)

I guess everyone should be aware of the Earthquake in Taiwan on 26 Dec 2006. Yes we were hit by it!!!! From the news : "Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau said the first quake measured 6.7 and was centered 22.8 km southwest of the southern Hengchun Peninsula. The second measured 6.4 was more strongly felt in Kaohsiung, Taiwan's second largest city." We were in Kao hsiung checking into the hotel. Suddenly, i felt the floor moving.. and the Xmas trees start to suay left n right. The hotel hanging crystal lights hanging on the ceiling start to shake. Everyone look at each other and we start to panic. Some pple are still standing below the crystal lightings. Our tour guide faster tell everyone to move away from the lightings. After a few seconds.. things start to stop moving.. We thought it is over, hence we faster took a lift up to our room... While unpacking our stuffs.... the glasses on the table start to move and the bed also move.. We were quite stunned... the next thing is put away everything and run down the stairs. Some pple were crying while running down the stairs.. It is quite hard to run down the stairs while moving left and right. Some people were already standing outside the hotel including the hotel staffs. We stood outside the hotel until everything stop moving. We decided not to go back the hotel, instead we went to grab something to eat. We heard from the shop keepers that this earth quake was one of the major earthquake they have. I didn't want to film downt the earthquake.. just feel not very "ji li". (maybe i am a bit superstitious) Wah... Wat an experience. Really glad that we are safe n sound. =) Phone Network Operators were down and hence can't contact my parents until the next day.

However this earth quake didn't dampen or disrupt our trip itinerary. Everything still goes smoothly. Today went to Sun Moon Lake.. Erm.. not very magnificant le.. Heard from my colleague, the last earth quake destroy much of it. Haiz.. too bad. After travelling in the bus till our butt ache, travelling thru and around the mountains. We took a small train call the Wu Feng train to a small farm to feed the cows and horse. Heehee. Fun for the kids. We also pluck strawberries!! a bit small but very very sweet! Yummy!

In the Wu Fen Train.. Ryan with his favorite pose "Cok Eye"

The baby cow is indeed very hungry... They snatch!!

*Grin* Faster take.. wait later he come n lick me..

They really love to pick strawberries.. see how happy they are..

Look at these 2 cute small strawberries.. very sweet one hor.. esp i pick one!

Yummy Strawberry!! Small but Sweet!

The last stop is Taipei which is sort of the most rowdy place. We took the Ferris wheel.. tallest ferris wheel in asia. We can see the whole magicifant view of Taipei. Our small little handsome boy was slightly afraid of heights... hehe. But he manage to conquer it! It is really a great view.. not to be missed. The last destination of the tour is Si Men Ting. Great place for youngsters to go have fun and shop! In Taiwan, an arcade game that is hot is basketball.. Seems to have this game everywhere you go and also those machines to catch soft toys. Heehee. We played much arcade when we were there... mainly becos the two mischievious kids love it so so much. =)

Resting and enjoying the beautiful scenery

Dear & Me trying very hard to squeeze thru the crowd

The rest of the days were Free & Easy.. we took the metro train the first day (much similar like our MRT) but everyone was so in order.. everyone line up in order in line with the marking on the floor. And in the escalator, everyone stand on the right, to make space for those people to climb faster. Singaporean should learn more like them.. We took the train to Taipei City Hall. Much like our City Hall.. they have the tallest building in the whole world "Taipei 101 building". (previously was the twin towers.. but then now it is gone) We went up to the top of the building, it cost a bit but i think it is worth it. The lift was the fastest lift in the world.. travelling up to 89 storeys in 36 seconds... travelling around 1000+ Km/h. using the Nasa technology. When you look down from the building.. everything below is like so minature...they are like those HDB showroom, they have those small models.. The view is great. But i believe the view is nicer when it is at night. too bad we didn't stay there till evening time.

Inside the train.. not too bad.. quite fast..

Magnificant view from the tallest building in the world.. 101 building

We went a few night markets during these few days.. During the weekend, the night markets and shopping areas are packed man!!!! It is really like ants. HAHA. To cut short.. the worst thing i dun like about these markets is the Stinky beancurd. Wah liao the smell.. i cannot tahan!!!! EEEEEEEE.........

dear.. enjoy the stinky beancurd.. (dun dare to kiss him after that =P)

The last day was New Year eve! We went to 101 building again to view the fireworks. We reach there around 10pm.. and it is already fully packed. We managed to climb to a traffic light platform to view the fireworks. The count down .. the atmosphere was good. Everyone was like Waahhhhh.... Wahhh.... i think the photos tell it all. Nice! Although the count down was good.. the travelling back after it.. was a torture man!!! We walked for more than an hour before we could get a cab.. Halfway from the 101 building to our hotel.. we reached our hotel almost 4am in the morning. Once i reach the hotel room, i drop down on the bed and slept like a pig. =p Next day still got to wake up early to catch our flight back to Singapore.


Didn't manage to upgrade to business class for our flight. hahaha.. Was quite happy to reach back to Singapore. But... once i am out of the airport.... Wah liao.. SO HOT!!!!!!!!! We were complaining about the heat... Really miss the weather in Taiwan.. =)
