Third day @ Taipei, final day @ Taiwan
I woke up slightly earlier, left to meet Teammate JI to return her Teammate YG’s thick jacket which she lent me since Tainan.
We had breakfast together and at breakfast shop (Hoooray!).
My last breakfast in Taiwan~~~
I’m really gonna miss Taiwan breakfast~~~
We had a simple breakfast but a great time fellowshipping.
She walked me to the hotel and then we had our final goodbye.
Friend HL and I checked out from the hotel.
Itrip Taipei Inn not a bad choice, though the room was small but it was pretty comfortable. Most importantly is the venue, it is inside XiMenDing and near train station.
Next destination: GuanDu
Friend HM's sister's house, to put our luggage
Initially we were told by the hotel staff that it will be pretty expensive for us to travel by cab but it was not when we checked with the driver. It was so nice of the driver that throughout the journey he assured us that it won’t be expensive and if the amount more than what he prepared us, we just have to pay the amount he told us.
Another cup of “50Lan” aka “Koi”.
We bought train tokens and off we went to our first stop, Taipei City Hall station.
1st stopover: my dream place, Taipei 101!!!
Friend HM and Friend HL walked with me there before they left for their own shopping nearby as they weren’t interested in going up to Taipei 101. Bravely off I went alone...
I was so thrilled when at the staff at the tickets counter told me “all 3 levels will be opened today”.
88th - exhibition and cafe
89th - viewing mall, tourist shop
91st - outdoor observatory, not always-opened
(subjected to the weather)
Snapped here, snapped there, snapped snapped everywhere
Viewed here, viewed there, viewed viewed everywhere
Walked up, walked down, walked walked everywhere
I made a friend at 89th floor as he was also alone, we helped each other to take photos. Haha! That’s the disadvantage of coming alone - no one to take picture for and with you.
There was a corner showing a video on the construction etc of Taipei 101, I very wanted to watch but I know I cant as there were two people who done with shopping waiting for me. Haha!
I left and went to meet up with them.
They were shocked that I spent so long up there.
Prior before that, I told them to go ahead to Tamsui without me but they said no as they don’t think I will spend so long at Taipei 101.
Haha! I myself was shocked too!
Actually could have be longer cause I have yet to enjoy the view with Starbucks coffee.
I be back, Taipei 101!
With the remainder time we have, we took train and rushed over to our last destination of the entire Taiwan trip, TamSui - another must come if you in Taiwan.
We walked around a little, settled at one and had their famous fishball - a must if you in Tamsui.
Then after some photos, we hurriedly left back to Friend HM’s sister’s place as we need to catch our flight that night. We realized Tamsui is actually a good place to walk, shop and eat.. just that we cant afford the time to.
The last photo of us together in Taiwan...
Friend HL and I arrived at Taoyuan Airport via train and bus safely and on time.
After we checked in, it was a loooooong wait as the airport is not as developed as Singapore’s so we literally just sat and waited.
Home sweet home~~
