Woah... The trip to Taiwan was really very tiring, exhausting and energy draining.. But Taiwan really is a B-E-A-U-TIFUL place sia.. The scenary there is absolutely marvellous.. I was envying the natural beauty there, too bad Singapore don't have! Haix...Went to soo many places, Taoyuan, Hualian, Kaoshiung, Taitung, Tainan, Taichong and not forgetting the Capital city, Taipei.. Thought the weather there was gonna be cold, in the end, it wasn't what I expected, it was pretty warm there, except for the occasional chilly winds! Oh yeah.. I LOVE the smelly toufu there! Their rice is the so called "sticky rice" larhh and OMG.. I love it to the max!Hualian and Kaoshiung really left a deep impression inside me.. Hualian's scenary was a beauty for almost every single human being.. The water flowing down from the top of the mountain was so fresh, so cooling! If not for the 921 earthquake that occured, the scenary would be soo much nicer! Kaoshiung city was very vibrant, the "Love River" was soo romantic larhh, we even went to the tallest building in Kaoshiung, 85 stories high, that saw the entire city.. Magnificent sight!Taipei is another city that I liked... Loads of shopping to do! Very developed city, it wasn't as ancient as we 1st thought! We saw the "Zhong Tong Fu" (In Singapore = Istana), the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall (Only the outside as it was heavily guarded). We also went to the museum where they kept all the treasures C.K.S took from China, the treasures included those from the Qin Dynasty all the way to the Mao Zedong era... Imagine.. Several thousand years of treasure!Too bad didn't went to Taipei 101... The 2nd tallest building the world today! But there was really loads of things to shop in Taipei, except that it was winter there, thats why they sold mostly winter clothings! The things there aren't cheap larhh.. Most of the things are about the same price as those in Singapore! But... The food there is really cheap! 1 bowl of wanton noodle only cost S$1.50, while in Singapore, it costs S$3.00! Half the price sia!!!We went to "Xi Men Ding" or can be called as West Street in english... I finally saw the place where 5566 acted in the show "The Westside Story" in person... Oh yeah.. There was one more place where the scenary was simply brilliant! "Ye Liu" was the place.. The wind was soooo strong, the sea current was smashing against the rocks, etc... A very nice place for dating couples! Hahax...Anyway... Hope to go Taiwan again! Really love the place! Oh yeah.. Thanks "Xiao Luo" (Small Luo/Very Handsome) for being such a fantastic tour guide... Miss You and Take Care!
