Taiwan Dream

Day 1: SOGO Dept. Mall, Huaxi Street Market (Snake Alley)







Yummy handroll.



Roamed around SOGO Dept. Mall and went up to eleven stories high but there was nothing much to see so we camwhored a little before we left for Huaxi Street Market (Snake Alley). Saw snakes (obviously), turtle testicles and all the sick stuff you can imagine.



Some fish snack which we were disgusted by but it turned out to taste pretty good.



The fake Buddha Jump Over The Wall that cost S$4. Keith was adamant that there were turtle testicles in it which turned out to be egg yolk that LOOKED like turtle testicles.



& it tasted horrible.



FREAKING COOL.



Tsk tsk, naughty Zhukang.

That's all for our first night in Taipei!

Day 2: Wulai Hot Spring, Gongguan Night Market, Shida Night Market

We boarded a bus that went all the way up the mountain to Wulai where we alighted and met a friendly angmoh couple. They were unsure of where to head to either so we were all lost, but we managed to find our way to the hot spring in the end.



Zhukang's favourite sausage.





Streams of blue.



Bamboo Rice for lunch. \m/





On the monorail up to the mountains.



Wulai Waterfalls.



Up to the mountains on a cable car.



There was this cheerful lady who sat beside us in the train back home but she was heading towards Gongguan so we decided we could tag along too.



We ended up at Gongguan Night Market which was only ten stalls long -.- So we walked all the way to Shida Night Market instead which was three MRT stations far, mind you.



Had a taste of the famous Duck Tongue. (I know it doesn't look like one but it is one)



& squeezed in a telephone booth just for the fun of it.

We got lost mid-way so we sought help from a stranger who kindly walked us to the MRT station & back we were at Ximending!



The three-stories high KFC.



Dope night. \m/

Day 3: Leofoo Village Amusement Park







Screaming Condor a.k.a. Satay.

Done with his shit.

Upside down in mid-air.

Train ride to see zoo animals.

Weeds / Dandelions / whatever-they-are-called.
I like this picture, so dreamy-ish. I TOOK IT, KTHXBYE :B



Aladdin Land.

& again.

Day 4: Yangminshan, Shilin Night Market, Taipei 101



Right view.



Left view.



Front view.



Back view.





This is Yangminshan for you. It was probably 10+ degrees celcius up there and all we could see was a patch of white wherever we went. That's how bad the fog was. Nevertheless, we 16-year-olds dared to go up there without a guide and we tanked such a weather for half an hour. Beat that. \m/ It was a pity that we didn't get to see the volcano though!



Finally safe and sound on board.



Zhukang's Roller-coaster-ride Face.

After the epic experience up in the mountains, we headed off to our next destination which was the Shilin Night Market.











Delish chicken that's as big as my face.



Honey-coated Fruits which you only see on TV nowadays ♥



Bokeh.

And then we decided that we still had the strength to go on so next on was Taipei 101.



Crowded train.



& a tired Zhukang.



Darth Vadar.



Almost reaching Taipei 101.



Those are the only few picture of Taipei 101 we could take. We bought the tickets for S$18 which wasn't worth it at all 'cause it only limited us to the 88th and 89th floor, which were indoor, and we could hardly catch the scenery from above 'cause the windows were so reflective. The 91st floor, which was outdoor, was closed due to the fireworks :(





On the way back home.

After we got back to the hotel, we nua-ed for an hour or so before we finally had the mood to start making MVs which I will upload as soon as Keith does so!



Preparing to start our MV.

The messy sty that we live in.



A midnight snack to reward ourselves for the hard work.
(Note: Zhukang's noob hair)



& a good brush of our teeth to end an eventful night. \m/

Sausage Baked Pasta \m/

Slept in till noon and had lunch at Ximending, then we sent the guys off. MISSED THEM LIKE HELL! :(

Afterwhich, Stella's dad brought us to her gramps' place and we started playing with her cousin's Lego set. IT'S PRONOUNCED AS 'LAY-GO' BTW. Who agrees with me?!?!?



"Oh Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your hair!"



"Hmna hmna, coming down liao.."



& they lived happily ever after. Lawl.



Made up characters.
From left to right: Zhukang, Keith, Me, Stella and botak king.

Stella's aunt's family joined all of us at some restaurant for dindin, then Stella's dad accompanied us back to Shida Night Market again for some shopping. ^^

Day 6: Wufenpu Commercial District, Dinner with Stella's family, Ximending

Woke up at noon (again). After we had lunch, we started off with Wufenpu Commercial District where all the cheap goods were sold. We bought ourselves lotsa lootz ^^ Shopped till early evening and off to Stella's uncle's place and dindin with Stella's gramps, aunts, uncles and cousins. Back at Ximending, we loitered around until slightly past midnight and laughed a hell lot when we stalked Stella's dad and he didn't realise until 15 minutes later.



Roaming around Ximending at midnight.



Stimulator ride.



Keychains for each of the Nuasterz! Sandy's for Zhukang. Gary's for Stella. Plankton's for me. Squidward's for Keith. & that's my new school bag in the background :D



Last pic :(

Day 7: Lunch with Stella's family

Yup, like the heading suggested, we had lunch with Stella's family at her gramps' place again, then we set off for the airport at 3-ish. I spent 3 hours stoning at the airport alone while waiting to board the plane and spent another 4 hours stoning on the plane. Hxc nua. x_x

Touched down on Singapore half an hour past midnight where Zhukang and Keith fetched me. They kept waving at me frantically from outside the arrival hall. I was so embarassed -___-

I ♥ED TAIWAN, ESPECIALLY THE NUASTERZ :)
