Trip to Taiwan-Day 1, 23rd of April

< Taiwan > , Here I come to YOU ^_^
Woke up early in the morning as our plane is departed at 9.50am..
We are taking AirAsia since it is cheap =p
The journey is expected to take about 5 hours but the pilot just took us for about 4 hours 20 minutes (A nice weather without much distracting clouds ..means??? Means welcoming our ARRIVAL perhaps lor..XD )

Four of us heading to TAIPEI!!!!!!!! 

For AirAsia, there is only one plane flies to Taipei everyday.. Thats why there are all full-seated~~~

On my way to be reached~~~ Tadaaa~~~~

And we reached at about 2.30pm - Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, 台湾桃园国际机场

♥ The temperature of that day ♥
刚刚好 ~~ Neither too cold or too hot. ^_^

Waiting for people to fetch us... 

Ohya, I realised that the mostly vehicles  in Taiwan are Toyota, Suzuki, Honda, Mitsubishi, Nissan...
And one more we do not see it before which is a brand of Taiwan - Luxgen *Being attracted by its design*

交通女警员 is very common incident and is quite a number of FEMALE holding this job in this country~

What is this vehicle use for??? It is for collecting the LUGGAGE TROLLEY instead of using human power.. 

FYI, 

- when u wanna cross the road, bear in mind that u have to look at ur left hand side as the cars comes from the LEFT..Is totally different to our country..

- Next, the driver side is on the LEFT! Our country is on the right side..

- Lastly, when u came down from taxi, u must come out from the right side of the car, PROHIBIT  to drop off customer on the LEFT!

On our way to TAIPEI to check in....

For your information,  台湾的三分之一是平地； 而三分之二是高山。。。
所以他们的住家大多数是高楼大厦。。。而且啊， 你不会看见有荒地，他们是很珍惜每一块平地的！ 就算有空地，他们都会种些农作物或稻田之类的。

垃圾车!!! 他们的垃圾车和我们这里有些分别。他们的垃圾都会分类好。。而且不会在马路上留下又脏又臭的垃圾水 ！每当垃圾车来的时候， 都会播出一种音乐♫♪♫♪，人民就会跑来丢垃圾。。。真是好合心哦！！

Their motorcycles are standardized.. They are all using this type of motorcycles as they called it as "Little Sheep"
- 小绵羊 -

This is the hotel where we stayed here for a few days..一乐园饭店 (Paradise Hotel)，
located at 台北市中心的西门町.
OBVIOUSLY the first place we went to is ♥XI MEN DING NIGHT MARKET♥ !!!!  ♥西门町夜市♥

It seems small~ But it is comfortable for us^^ just a bit narrow for us to put luggage.. Lolx!!
If compared with HK, this hotel is relatively much more bigger !

Look!! All motorcycles look the SAME!!!! 

This picture shows u how TRENDY are they...  Along the way, U will see nobody with NERD looking...
 *except me...maybe.....=( ...Therefore, I want to be TRENDY^_^*

Forgot to introduce: This is street of XI MEN DING^_^

Such design only can ATTRACT people ma~~~~  <>

We are at XI MEN DING NIGHT MARKET... At about 5pm something, is getting more and more people here~ Especially TEENAGERS like Us!

- Etude House - 

Starting from here: Is our FOOD EATING time!!!!

小吃时间！！！

One of the famous food that MUST TRY in Taiwan! 阿宗面线!!! 

阿宗面线

A lot of people are queuing up ...

There is no tables for u ... Just some chairs are served..
 Due to the demand > supply, people have to stand while holding the hot bowl of mee shua and eat ^_^

So are we^_ ^  Mixed into the CULTURE~ 

里面可是包着大条的热狗哦!!
Inside is filled with a SAUSAGE ^_^

There are a lot of DRINKS shops...Whenever u feel THIRSTY , just look your surrounding, there will be one DRINKS stall or shop READY for YOU ^_^
♥With Plenty of CHOICES ♥

♥ 葱抓饼- 有点像我们马来西亚的 ROTI CANAI...不错吃哦！！♥
Is almost similar with our ROTI CANAI in Malaysia.

The only difference here is: Malaysian use hands to make; while Taiwanese focus on cleanliness instead of using both hands and inside it is filled with Onion with a lot of SAUCE choices in front of it.
♥BOTH are NICE♥

How big is their STARBUCKS COFFEE ?? The whole building is so nice with the colour of the bricks..
People can study at the second or third floor while drinking their coffee..
Not to kidding that, there is always a LONG QUEUE lining up buying COFFEE in any STARBUCKS COFFEE shop here!!!!
他们的星巴克时常都会排长龙的现象哦！难怪越做越大，整栋楼都是星巴克！ O.O  

BLing ~ Bling~~~~ If not mistaken, it is a shop called : 韩国馆 

The world of CONDOM
保险套世界
I wish to take some photos inside the shop..But FAILED...
But there is a lot of different kinds of FUNNY PRODUCTS ..
Not to be SHY when u step in^^

Bought 4 hats for each of us at here^^
The boss know us very well as we helped her getting more customers to buy from her ^^
买了四顶帽子哦!!! 不过在马来西亚会比较少戴哦...>.<

First day Shooping at XI MEN DING night market~~




On the first day, we are able to walk 2 Night Markets!!!

Such MPV taxi also just can sit 4 customers only in the car ...

However, I have no idea with the number "2004" refers to??? Year???  Impossible~~~

SHILIN Night Market is famous with their foods.. 
Those food stalls are all grouped together inside this market as shown as above...U will know how  narrow inside is later ~~~

See~~~  Is so crowded!!!! 
Whose hand is that?? Blocking the view~~~ Lolx!!!
辛亏那时候的天气蛮凉的,所以再多人在里面也不会太闷热 ^-^

蚵仔煎
跟我们本地的不一样,他们有加薯粉, 可能是我吃不惯的关系吧, 我还是喜欢我们本地的 ♥
