Taiwan Trip - Part 2

9 Dec
The day we been waiting for!


Friend HM took a different airline from Friend HL and I. Other than the delay in the take-off, everything else like check-in, boarding and landing etc went well.
We arrived at Taoyuan Airport way past midnight. Felt bad to make Teammate JI and her friend AY waited for us.


Due to some miscommunication, we had some “hide-and-seek” at the airport as we were at Terminal 2 while Friend HM at Terminal 1. For a moment we thought we “lost” her. Haha!


We settled at Teammate JI and her friend AY’s house for the night.
It was already 3am plus after we washed up, settled down and slept.
Of course we were ok but felt bad for Teammate JI and friend AY who need to wake up early for an important event.

Cooling room temperature to sleep in.
No aircon, no fan but just slight open to the window yet it feels like aircon is on! Haha! Very thoughtful of the hosts to prepare a heater.



10 Dec

Our first official day @ Taiwan where we spent the morning @ Hsinchu.



We were given a choice but I chose not to sleep in but woke up and left home at same time with Teammate JL and friend AY. This means that Friend HL and Friend HM too.. Ooops!


We dropped by a while at their church to see their rehearsal before we had our breakfast at a breakfast shop nearby.



One of the concepts I like in Taiwan is actually their breakfast shop.

Gave me motivation to take breakfast in the morning too. Haha!



Teammate JI then drove us to train station where we changed to a cab. Though we were new to HSR station and train but thank God with the help
of the signboards and confirmation from station staff, we managed to get to the right platform and right train.

It was our first experience on High-Speed-Railway (HSR) train.

Off we set to our first destination, Tainan!
