Posted Saturday, June 02, 2007 // 10:32
Whahaha~ I'm back ! This post is goanna be longgggg ~ So , take your time please ! Lemme just share with you about my days in Taiwan !

Monday 28.o5.o7
Singapore

Wake up ! I woke up at ard 6am and I went to get rdy and I met Hui Xin , Pei Lian and Wen Jie at the playground downstairs and we went to 768 Mc for our breakfast . After gathering there and having our breakfast , Helen and I accompanied Ke Qi to school to return something to Miss Sum . Reached school at ard 8:45am and we waited for the assembly at 9:45am . We then gathered at the GO and we took attendance and we boarded the bus that will bring us to the airport . We checked in immediately and after that we went inside Burger King to have our lunch . Our flight was 1300 . Haha , we were like talking to TJ they all through phone and they were on the other side of the window pane . TY Jia En , TJ , SM , Kelly and Cheryl for sending us off . Hehe . After lunch , we went to the departure area and waited for awhile . About 10min or so , we cld go in the plane already . Nah , not going to talk much about the plane .

Taiwan , Tao Yuan

We took a 4hour plus flight and we reached at Tao Yuan airport at ard 5pm plus in the evening . The tour guide was there and we took the bus down to Taipei . Took an hour bus ride from Tao Yuan to Taipei .

Taiwan , Taipei

First place we went , Taipei 101 . We were suppose to have our dinner there . So we walked and walked and walked and we finally found the food that we wanted . By the time we finished our dinner , there is simply too little time to go up the building . So we decided to shop around in the Supermarket . The stuffs there were cool . Haha . After that we took some pics and we gathered outside Taipei 101 . The bus came and we went to our hotel at Taipei . When we're outside the hotel , We saw ppl with trash on their hand . Then the rubbish truck will play a very cute music and all the ppl there wth give their trash sperated into paper , plastic and cans . So environment-friendly right ? Even in supermarkets or convinient stores , one plastic bag cost NT1 . We were at the 7 storey of the hotel anyway . My roommates ! Helen , Shahiirah and Rashidah ! I took a bath first and I didn't really packed my luggage much . Watch TV while waiting for the rest to bath and then Helen went to Charmaine room to play and she pang seh me to sleep on the bed ALONE ! Anyway , I still slept till like 1am and Helen came barging into the room and on the bed . LOL .

Tuesday 29.o5.o7
Taiwan , Taipei

We're suppose to wake up at 6:15am and assemble at the breakfast area at 7:15am and the bus will come at 8am to pick us up . Helen and I got to use the toilet only at 7am . Rushed like mad . Lukily , we managed to make it on time . Had our breakfast and good-bye hotel . We then took a 1-2 hours bus ride from Taipei to Ilan .

Taiwan , Ilan


We traveled from North to East and the whole strech is all moutains . So we took the so called 'mountain road' with those turns and corners everywhere . Some ppl can't take it and they puke in the bus . Motion Sickness . Reached Ilan and we went to the Orchard Plantation . We met the farmer there and we went to take a look at his plantation of fruits ! We walked down the paths and we saw mango , guava and lots of other fruits . After that we went to the other side where he planted peaches . He allowed us to pluck the peaches from any tree and we could eat them . Haha , that was the most unforgettable experience . We plucked a peach and ate it . Sweet (: He also showed us the paper bag that had an owl print on it to cover the fruits to scare the birds from it . After that we went to his shop where he sells his fruits . John and Hui Xin bought a box . 16 pieces for NT120 . After that we went for lunch . They served Sashimi . Yucks .. The rest were however okie . Vegies was the maincourse , that's definately with Mr Goh there .. Haha . My 'table-mates' finished the vegies first before we start on other dishes always . Finished our food and torture came for those Motion Sickness ppl . 2-3 hours bus ride from Ilan to Hua Lien and again , mountain roads ..

Taiwan , Hua Lien

We went to this beach called Qi Xing ( seven stars ) LAKE . LOL . The tour guide told us that in Taiwan , sometimes , the place is actually not a lake but they still call them lake . Weird . Anyway we cameo-ed there and we headed to the next place , the Fish 'museum' .. All about fish and stuffs . Bought a pkt of fish cookies . Sounds gross ?? LOL . The taste is nice . Really . After lingering there , we went to have our dinner and they served this ostrich meat which is very elastic . LOL . After dinner , we went to a night market at Hua Lien . All the stalls only sold food and Cat bought this bing tang hu lu . I liked it . Haha . The teachers then felt that we just had dinner and this place was not suitable for us . So , we went to another night market at Hua Lien .. Was another disappointment too . This time they all sold Jades , what Hua Lien is famous for . Nevertheless , I bought this dreamcather and the egg display for my dad . We went off and checked in our hotel . I bathe first . Helen was blaberring that she wanted to play at Charmaine's room again . After her bath , she slept like a log . LOL .

Wednesday 3o.o5.o7
Taiwan , Hua Lien

We woke up earlier this morning and we washed up and gathered for breakfast as usual . This day was a very tiring one . We spent the whole day at Taroko Gorge . We drove up the moutains and we waited till 10am for the roads to open . We drove up higher . The senery was beautiful .. When we reached the place , we into the mountain areas to walk . We walked up the mountains , walked past many many many dark and cold caves and we came to the highlight of the day . The Water Curtain Cave . I kept on pulling Karen . Haha , cos I can't see ! I hated that feeling .. The water just keep on flowing in the cave and it's cold . Anyway , after that we can change into our slippers . We had lunch at this place where it is all surrounded with mountains . The tap water was like chilled and even the toilet bowl where it stores water to flush had vapour surrounding it . The mountain tops were chilly .. After our lunch , we went to have a walk around the mountain to look at the senery and learn GEOG w/ Mr Andy . LOL . We saw many swallows that built their nest in the mountains . After that . A very very scary thing for motion sickness ppl . 5 hours plus bus ride from Hua Lien to Taipei . Hehe ..

Taiwan , Taipei

We had dinner first then checked in . John , Wee Jie , Asiah and Shahiirah was sick . The rest had no appetipe or they were cold .. Only Hui Xin , Karen and I felt normal .. LOL . We wacked most of the food . HAHA . Our hotel was this time located at a very spooky and deserted place . Surrounding the hotel were all mountains . I rmb this hotel name . Very special . Gothic Garden Hotel . Don't look very 'gothic' to me .. We checked in and our room was located at the last floor , 4 . No lifts ! We carried all our luggage to the last floor . Bloody hell , it was the 'nicest' hotel out of the 3 . Damn nice and we're going to stay here for 2 nights . Same thing , I bathe first then the rest . Helen went to Charmaine's room to play ( Like she not tired like that .. ) and she brought my shoes to charmaine's room's balcony .. Ke Qi fell sick . She slept in my room with me and Helen slept with Wei Yi in their room . Oh and thats the end of long bus rides ...

Thursday 31.o5.o7
Taiwan , Taipei

Our day arrives cos it's shopping day ! Helen came back , Ke Qi went back . LOL . We woke up super early and we hair-dry our shoes in the bathroom . Helen told me that her right shoe was dry but the left shoe was wet . Guess wad ? She did not take out her sock from the left one . DUMB-ASSES ! HAHA ! Took a bus to Yang Ming Shan national park . They have loads of sulphur there . One of the waterfall was cool , the rock turned greenish-white . The water actually contain Sulphur and the pH is lower than 7 . So it caused the rock to change colour . Cool Science . After that we went to wait for the bus at the other end of the park . Miss Mas bought this spring ball which was so damn cool . NT200 for it . Expensive .. We went to take a look at the extinct volcano at Yang Ming Shan , and guess how they spelt sulphur ? S.U.L.F.U.R . LOL . Okies .. The volcanic area stink like hell . The smell of sulphur is so damn smelly . After we left that area , we went to climb one of the mountains . All we see was bamboo there .. The tour guide there told us that the mountains there had lots and lots of bamboo . We got out of the place and went to have lunch . The bus stopped outside and we walked in then Mr Goh said whoever is behind him will not go shopping . So we ran like mad . Only some , I'm one of them . LOL . 1/2 of the food served had something to do with bamboo . LOL . Worst rating of food there .. After lunch , we went to the Geo-Park at Yeh Liu . The place is famous for the weird weird shape of stones . Landmark there , the stone that has a shape of Queen Elizabeth . We walked around and we learnt how mushroom rocks , candle rocks blah blah blah were form .. Went to 2 sections . 3rd section not many ppl went . We must climb up the mountain untill we reach the lighthouse .. I did not went up . My legs will break . LOL . We cameo-ed on the way to the cafe and then after that we left for shopping ! The guide told us that there is a place that is more IN and HIP compared to Xi Men Ding . So , we went to this Wu Fen Pu , which is suppose to be more IN than XI MEN DING . Typical Bugis Junction like that . We were suppose to get our own dinner first . We went to this amusement park and 'borrowed' the toilet . LOL . Long Q . No time to eat .. This is my dinner, that i've kapo-ed ; 2 sushi from Karen , 2 mouths of McChicken from Charmaine and 1 mouth of Dou Hua from Mr Andy . LOL . We gathered at the railway staiton and we saw Wu Fen Pu across the road . It is located withtin a square and we were not suppose to cross any road so that if we're lost , we must be in that square .. I bought all my stuffs and gifts for friends . 2 and a half hours was like so sucky time . TOO SHORT ! After that we wanted to buy some goodies but we must cross the road to get it . The time was already 8:25pm . We were suppose to meet at 8:45pm .. I didn't believe we actually ran across the road to get the goodies when we didn't know the place well .. This guy selling bag was helpful lar .. We ask him to hurry up pack our stuffs and I think he heard us saying that we wanna buy goodies . So he told us 'go staright turn left then turn right and we will see a bank across the road' . After that I forgot le ... We ran across that road and we saw the bank . We bloody forgot what was the direction given and we asked this lady and she told it was near by . We ran straight and turned left . Like what she said . Run for so long still don't see any shop . So we stopped by to ask this lady selling noodles . She said straight ahead and we saw this bread shop . She said it was beside the shop . FINALLY found it . Time was 8:30pm .. Told her our story and she quickly packed all the goodies and 'HAHA' , we dunno how to get back to the railway station . LOL . She directed us and told us it is only 3min if we run . We run that way she told us . Still got time so we went to 7-eleven beside the bank . Saw this bottle with Yan Ya Lun and Wu Zun face . LOL . Just bought it for Jia En and Shu Hua . After that we ran like mad to the railway station and we were the first few . DIAO ! LOL . My shopping gang ; KAREN LEE , HELEN TEO , THAM WEN JIE . We won the 'most amount of things bought in 2 and a half hours' hao bu hao ? LOL ! We shop till drop ! We were the most kua zhang one lar .. Da Bao Xiao Bao reach the railway station . Haha . Went back to our hotels after that . Got prob packing luggage man .. LOL . Too many thingy .. Helen fell sick that day .. Her fever like damn high lor .. After she bathe then she went to sleep . We were under the same blanket and I felt as though I was in a oven . Her body is so hot that it produces heat .. LOL . I went to the fridge , take ice-cold water help her sponge .. LOL . Cold her to death .. HAHA . She cough from 11pm to 1am lor . Can't slp man . After that ard 1am plus she woke up then Charmaine came . We chatted awhile then we went back to sleep . I think she was better ..

Friday o1.o6.o7
Taiwan , Taipei

AWWW ~ last day . I woke up at 6:45am .. So tired .. Washed up and we carried our present filled luggage to the first storey for breakfast . The bus came and we boarded . We went to The Martyrs' Shrine . We saw the guards changing duties . It is actually a place that commemorate those who died in China's wars over the centuries . The formal changing of the guard is the one that attracts an interesting crowd of onlookers , like us (: After that we went to the National Palace Museum where all the artefacts from Mainland were shipped here . I loved that place alot cos I'm interested in those B.C stuffs .. Cool .. But it was damn tiring listening and walking around . After that we headed straight to the Gift-Shop and den we went to have lunch . This time the food was delicious .. Some of us ate 2 bowls .. We went out of the Rest. and we saw Si Da . Selina's uni in Taiwan . LOL . We went to the Museum of World Religion . The place was damn cool . I didn't know there were so many religions in the world . More than 10 of them . I didn't know about some . We then went to the supermarket beside the museum while waiting for the bus .. Bought chewing gums . On the way to the Airport , I think there's a car that tried to overtake our bus on the highway .. We almost cannot make it back to S'pore .. Serious ..

Taiwan , Tao Yuan

We bidded good-bye to the tour guide and the bus driver at Tao Yuan airport . We checked in our baggage and we went to Burger King and eat . The system there is so cool . After dinner we boarded the plane ..

Singapore

Sighness , back to s'pore .. Went home and unpacked a little .. AWW ~ I miss TAIWAN hell loads !!

Hi, my name is Samantha. I love travelling, reading and meeting people from different walks of life. This is a documentation of my life and my travel adventures. In a way, it is a homage to faded memories of mine. The memory span of a human being is short, hence the existence of these memoirs. Because fifty years down the road, I want to look back, smile to myself and say: "I've lived my life with no regrets."
