Started my morning with my must-have breakfast.
Next historical place: Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall
Walked a bit, took some photos and left as another building from afar attracted me, Taipei 101.
Accomplished another mission which also another “wish” of mine for this trip, to visit Starbucks at one of the levels in Taipei 101.
Really thank God for 3G service as after I cant find the Starbucks in the shopping mall building, I then went online to check and to find the way of getting in.
Successful! I’m in - 35th storey of Taipei 101 office building!!!
I spent a while there enjoying my cuppa coffee over the beautiful scenery.
I then headed to Taipei City Hall areas to see see walk walk look look before I left to Ximending again. Since wasn't rushing, decided to take my time to walk around so I think somehow I managed to comb the entire Ximending, the north part the south the east the west. Hehe!
I also went to get the snack I like... for the last time. Yummmmmy!
Met up with Jill who finished her work.
Caught up over drinks before we met JL and JM for dinner at an “unique” place, Toilet-Themed Restaurant.
Another “wish” of mine to visit/eat here as long heard about it and 2years ago due to time and don’t really know where so we didn’t.
The food were average actually.
Guess just the concept and all made it interesting.
But still, I'm glad I went.
Day 10
My last full day in Taipei.
Met Jill who brought along her adorable handsome nephew, Aaron.
First stop for the day: Shifen
We had a quick local lunch which happened to be the place that sheltered us for quite a while due to the heavy rain.
The highlight at Shifen will definitely be the “Sky Lantern”.
We almost gave up and left but thank God the rain stopped on time and we managed to uturn back to have our fly.
Glad we did.
Always get to see the experience from TV and friends, now I finally had my hands on it. We had our wishes on it. Photos taken. Off it went.
Enjoyable trip.
Only regret was we didn’t get to walk further around the place or to find the waterfall. So… Shifen, I’ll be back!
After sending Aaron home, Jill and I chilled at another Starbucks near her place. Seem like all the Starbucks in Taiwan are big.
We met up JL and JM for the “Last Dinner” in Taipei.,
This time, Korean BBQ.
Good place. Nice food. Great fellowship.
The night ended with a short walk around the popular town… to digest too. Haha!
Then a short time together before the night ended.
Throughout my trip in Taipei, I really appreciate the thoughts and love of JL and JM who almost every nights took time and effort to meet me for dinner. Something that brought warmth to my heart as they don’t have to since they can well spend on their own etc but they gave their precious nights to me.
Not just that, for JL - almost everyday she dropped me messages to find out where was I, was I coping ok and how’s my day etc.
to be continued...
