Resizing Your Proposal/Wedding Ring

Addy's proposal ring is a little too large for her middle finger. Bringing it back all the way to US to change the size does not justify the cost.

Just only recently that her good friend Diana let us know that there's a jeweler who does resizing at Far East Shopping Centre. Popped by that place and manage to get a quote.

For white gold, it costs $30 to resize.

For Platinum, it costs $60 because of the need for laser-ing.

Also to note that there might be a line mark on the ring if you do resize. Do pop by if you do need the service. :)

Taiwan Wedding Photo Taking Trip - Day 2

Woke up early in the morning about 7am and it was already bright and shiny.

Sheraton does not provide breakfast cos of the rate we got. :(

Made our way to MeiLiHua (Miramar) which was famous for its Ferris Wheel.

Wrote a little review on google maps

Ate breakfast at Mos Burger which was relatively cheap for 2!

The typical small MOS Burger but nice :) 

Comes with a drink

 This is where we had our lunch - Saizeriya! 

Singapore also have in Liang Court - cheap and good and filling!

Tasty hot plate meat patty!

Ferris Wheel pose

Jianan MRT toilet is so much cleaner than Singapore's MRTs.

We left the place at about 1pm to go to our Bridal Studio.

Stopped at ZhongShan Jr High school MRT Station and walked like hell..

Reached the venue @ 230pm - ShaLuoManTing at MingQuan East Road. 

It was quite easy to find along the main road.

Had a quite a bit of adventure including going to Landis to "ease my stomach"

The whole street was full of such bridal boutiques akin to Tanjung Pagar in Singapore. 

Had to go down 2 streets to get to France Paris, the other shop.

Met with the peeps. Cannot take photos then. :(

We took 2 hours selecting addy's 5 gowns

Then we proceeded to GEM to select my outfit.

Spent about 1hour here. 

Quite an atas place

They tried to upsell but at least they were nice

Even took a photo with them

We had to go back to France Paris at 8pm to meet the photographer

Went walk walk 1st.

An illegal roadside stall selling really cheap shoes

NT$200 per pair

Outside Mingquan East Station

Took MRT to Taipei Main Station intending to go Ximen Ding but changed our mind

Walked back up from Taipei Main Station towards NingXia Street, a night market

The bestest guojiao ever. cheap cheap!!!

The steamed version

The stall from inside

Bread Galore at NingXia night market

Reached France Paris and spoke with the photographer for 1/2 hour

Decided to go Shilin night market to shop again

Had this lady who persuaded us to buy her hairpin so much

Could have driven the price much lower but she was so nice

Even took a demo video on how to use the hairpin summore

Reached back hotel close to 12

Sheraton pampers us so much - arranges our toiletries so nicely

The bathroom version :)
