Taiwan Trip Part 3: Days 5 n 6

This is the final installment in a 3 part series of my Taiwan Trip 2007

Day 5

The original plan was to wake up early n catch the bus to Liu Fu Chun which is at Xin Zhu but we overslept n missed the bus which comes hourly. In the end we decided to cancel the Theme Park cos if we catch the next bus, it'll be quite late by the time we reached there and the Theme Park closes at 6pm. And there was also the tendency for it to rain in the aftn. So no point going really .. But it'll definitely be in my itinery the next time i'm there ..

In the end, it really started raining heavily so we seeked shelter at one of the newer shopping centers near Zhong XIao Dong Lu. We chanced upon an arcade at the top level and i saw Pikachu n Doraemon .. Couldn't resist taking some pics with them ..

We were also hooked onto these softtoy catching machines. It was all over taipei .. I nv tried my hand at this when i'm in sing cos its so ex .. But its only 50 cents there .. Tried my luck and after a few tries i got the bear .. Yay .. In fact, we each got one ..

Taiwan is also crazy over this game .. Cos of the Entertainment 100% .. We had a few games and after tt our arms started to ache like mad .. Our results were not bad too ..

We left the shopping center after the rain stopped n i hd a craving for Mc D's McCrispy which is no longer available in Singapore .. We ordered one n shared n THEN ... we chanced upon someone eating the MEGA MAC, It has FOUR pieces of beef pattied kiaped between 3 layers of bun .. Yum .. Hey .. I did not finish tt by myself okie .. it was shared among 3 of us ..

We finally found the Fen Yuan stall along Zhong Xiao Dong Lu .. We were trying to find this stall on the second day but couldn't find it ..

For NT 50, we could have 4 types of ingredients, we ordered yam, sweet potato, Ai Yu (jelly) and of course fen yuan (pearls) .. Cheap n nice .. We headed back to Shilin Night market again to buy some more t-shirts .. At NT 400 for 2, it's less than S$10.

Day 6

Woke up very early on thurs cos we were meeting Jennifer for breakfast before she went to work .. I had a craving for dou jiang so we made our way back to the stall which we went on the second day .. There was no queue tt day cos it was a working day. I was a very satisfied gal tt day .. After tt we sent Huilian off to GaoXiong at the Taipei Railway Station and Mei n I went back the hotel to pack up n checkout and do some last minute shopping n we had chou chou guo for lunch again before catching the bus that was to take us to the airport ..

Mei bought this Kuromi pillow at Ximending .. I was contemplating buying it since the first day but i decided not to in the end .. had to settle for taking photos with it ..

On the way to the boarding area ..

We caught the 2 bears n the Chao Ta Mian Bao .. I bought the Kuromi .. Cute ..
