I arrived safely at Taoyuan International Airport.
As it was still early, I decided to wait at the newly renovated airport and in the meantime to wait for “Big Brother” to open to purchase local sim card which apparently offers better and more-worth-it package in airport.
I had my very first breakfast in the airport which really amazing as I remembered when I was there 2years ago, the airport was in renovation state thus don’t really has many eatery place.
Straight after I purchased the “Big Brother“, I went to find the way/transport to leave the airport. FIRST TIME as it was my Taiwan friend who picked us up 2yrs ago.
With the signs and directions, I managed to purchase a bus ticket and boarded one that got me to Taipei Main Station.
I miscalculated my time in purchasing train ticket thus was another time of waiting. It was really a morning of waiting and waiting. Haha!
And for the FIRST TIME, on my own - I purchased a local train ticket to bring me to Hualian., a city I’m going for the FIRST TIME.
Though I took the longer route as there were actually faster local trains available, I still thank God that I reached Hualian - being my first time.
I made a mistake to think that shuttle bus provided by the Homestay I‘m staying. Plus my phone and portable charger were down so I couldn’t call the Boss to pick me up. On top of that, the public phone was way too complicated and so I decided to hail a cab, with just address printed on paper (thank God!!!).
The Homestay is just probably 10mins away thus cab fare wasn’t that ex.
I had a smile when I reached the Homestay.
Not cause “Finally~~~~~” but rather “Weeeee! I’m so proud of myself!”
From Changi Airport to Taoyuan Airport to Taipei Main Station to Hualian and to the Homestay… I accomplished it independently.
to be continued...
