My Taipei Trip
Came back late Sun nite... Was quite tired. Imagine the flight served Haagen Daz ice cream and I rejected it?!? Now to think of it, I shld haf taken it!!
Went to Taipei wif an red eye, came back still wif the red eye. Gotta keep my sunglass on while I was outdoors to prevent dust and not to scare ppl wif my eye... It did effect my mood during my shopping trip. The side of the jaw was aching, slight headache and blurred vision. Still I had to go in order not to waste my airfare.
Air in Taipei was quite dusty. In just 2days u'll feel ur nose block by the dusty air u breathe. Gotta clear it... Not to mention their Vehicles(car) is left hand drive their roads too. I realized we were on the right side of the road in Taipei instead of the left hand side of the roads here. Escalators there are also keep to ur right in Taipei instead of keep to ur left here. The ppl taking the escalators were very orderly kept right n did not hog on the left side esp in the MRT stations. They haf this automated recoding reminding ppl to keep to the right. Unlike here... u gotta say so many times excuse me or just squeeze ur own way out b4 u can get thru the blocks off ppl hogging on the right side of the escalator in the MRT stations when in hurry.
B4 I flew I kept worrying is the hotel Im gonna stay near the MRT so dat it'll be convenient 4 me to go ard by myself... As the road name was Nanking Rd East and I cldn't find it in the map. When I reached to my relieve it was near the MRT. Its 3mins walk down the street to Nanjing Rd East Station. Frm there I cld just travel to whichever places I want. I didn't really follow the map frm the book which I borrowed frm my fren as everything looks different only the MRT line, So I just manage to get abt by myself just by walking any direction I wanted n see the stuff I wanted to see n not wondering too far frm the station.
The sky turns dark by 5pm n turns bright by 5am. But their time zone is still the same as here.
The ppl there r quite nice and polite. When I asked 4 directions those who knew were more than willing to help. The 2 3/4jeans I bought at one of the shop in Ximen Ding only cost NT190 which is abt less than 10SGD!! And the bags too!! Cheap!!
I love the orange dress dat I bought 4 the kids... I WISH I CAN WEAR DAT!!! hahah
I really liked the Steel Garden Displays... But I haf no use 4 them yet.... When I haf my own hm...... heheheehe Im thinking too far!! Some of the gifts I bought r 4 chirstmas gift stand by!! hahahha
Total I spent abt 300+ SGD. Still haf some remaining frm my 500 SGD which I changed.
Manage to control my spending cos I do not wan to end up like last time... the HK trip I over spent! Came back broke.
A msg I saw pasted in the toilet cubicle door. Looks funny. I tot ur not supposed to throw the sanitary pads into the bowl cos it'll choke. But the line in red says so.
End of my 2days MC and its back to work 2morrow....... Still wif a teary eye but not as swellen n red as this pic hehehhe N lucky me only one eye. Not like my bro he had 2eyes infected. Dats where I got mine infected...
