Our trip to Taiwan was from the 22-27 March 2010, Monday to Saturday.
The day began with us lugging our luggage to the bus stop between our houses to catch bus 53. It's our attempt to save if we can so we can "splurge" in Taiwan.
Above is Addy with our 2 luggage on the bus stow area. Spent our journey to the airport planning our routes and timetable in Taiwan.
Heavy breakfast was in T3 Kopitiam in fear of yucky food on the aircraft.
The newly launched Changi Rewards Card that we applied for the fun of it.
And given that I visit the place so often, it's probably a good thing since I am quite a card freak.
This is Addy's first time on Singapore Airlines, SQ878.
She is holding up our lunch menu and the KrisWorld magazine with all the fantastic programmes.
Flight departed at around 12pm
Had yummy chicken rice for lunch and an ice-cream as well!
This time for me, the pillow was nice and puffy which i like.
Here's a nice photograph taken with the Chief Steward and a Taiwanese Stewardess.
She speaks amazingly good english.
Taiwan is the same time as Singapore.
Temperature then was about 25 degrees Celsius.
A photo from our Air Bus on the way to the hotel. It's a picture of TaoYuan International Airport.
I have no idea why there are so many such sleazy pictures in the suburbs on the way to Taipei city centre. There are like so many mini shops with just a long table, a chair and a shop owner sitting on it facing out of the glass windows.
I wonder what they sell. hmm...
Checked in at about 7 plus.
The inside of our Sheraton Hotel Room with a super king size bed!
The room was sure clean and large. G
ot a huge discount off the listed price though it is still more expensive than a number of decent hotels.
Well, i guess we paid premium for this special trip.
Mirrors are everywhere in this hotel room toilet. The amenities are nice too though there are some other hotels (in Singapore) that uses branded stuff like BodyShop and better.
Taiwan turns dark very fast at this time of the year. (But it turns bright very early too)
Here's a picture of the Taipei Main Station where you can take the High Speed Rail to places like KaoHsiung.
At about 8pm, we were on our way to Shilin Night Market.
Look at their train station - Taiwan people really do queue aside for people to come out!
Shilin Night market buzzing even on a Monday night.
After we stuffed ourselves with their local Teppanyaki, we lumbered around the place.
Above is a huge long queue of the Cui Ji Pa (crispy chicken patty) which is famous in Singapore as well.
Their fruits are so colourful, not to mention very sweet to eat too!
Women and their habits (don't hit me addy!)
The games are so much more attractive than Singapore!
I am so glad i was armed with my new DSLR.
Ended the day by going back to the hotel at 11am.
Expenses for the day
