Second day, full day @ Taipei
The day where I learned independency..
The day I conquered Taiwan train system…
We didn’t had a “natural wake up” but we were “scare awake”. Haha! Cause the hotel’s scary fire alarm went off and we literally jumped up from the bed.
With the help of a local, Friend HL and I found a breakfast shop @ XiMenDing where we filled our stomach. Woohoo! I love having breakfast in Taiwan!
We bought our train token and started our day tour with Taiwan train…
From our start-off station: XiMen station…
1st train stop: XinDian
We transited train there from Chiang Kai-Shen Memorial main station. With the help of the station staff, we boarded a bus that brought us to our first destination, Wu Lai.
We walked and viewed from shop to shop, and even to one of the museums.
Not forgetting we also tried many of the local food.
This stall is amazing… long queue!
Few days ago, we watched on the variety show recommending this stall. Two thumbs up for this guy!
Despite the heat and pressure (since so many people), he was well-mannered and polite to his customers.
We then continued with our walk to our main reason of coming here… Wu Lai Waterfall.
We went up and up and up and up the mountain and finally met Wu Lai Waterfall. We also met one of our JAMs students + her family.
We took the train and headed down the mountain.
Same way back - bus (like roller-coaster ride) to train station.
2nd train stop: HouShanPi
We followed the crowd and reached our second destination, WuFenPu Commercial Zone.
Apparently is a shopping-heaven! Haha!
Same like XiMenDing, WuFenPu also had alleysssssss and shopsssssss.
Friend HL and I walked separately and later met at train station.
3rd and final train station: Taipower Building
We transited the train at Taipei Main station.
We settled @ Burger King to rest our legs… and also to wait for Friend HM who was coming after her dinner with family.
Our third and final destination, Shi Da Night Market We did nothing but eat and eat and eat and eat. Haha! Friend HM recommended whats nice as previously she came with her family.
Here what we ate that night…
Throughout our stay in Taiwan, we mastered the art of eating while standing and eating while walking. Haha!
We were amazed that despite of the time, there were still crowd at the night market.
We made new Taiwan friends @ one of the shops too.
I was waiting while Friend HM and Friend HL were queuing to pay for the food then two people came out to me and asked am I queuing etc. I replied no and showed them where to queue etc. Then the lady kicked off by asking other questions like where am I from etc. And when Friend HM and Friend HL joined back, we chatted a while on Taiwan and Singapore before we exchange name on facebook and left.
Friend HM went on to her sister’s place while Friend HL and I headed to hotel, same thing were lost a little even with the map. Haha!
