We all had a one day trip to SHIFEN today!!

Took a 3 hours journey there cos we went all the way from TaoYuan to SHIFEN, which took around 3 transits, yeah, 3 trains. 

Kinda tiring, but I guess it was all worthy tho. 

Went to the Shi Fen station at first, spent our half day walking there, and had our lunch there, took photos on the railway, and on suspension bridge, which freaked me out, whatttt? I was afraid of height kay. 

Had my last 滷肉飯 in Taiwan as I already knew I'll be leaving soon! Wanted to have a look at the waterfall but it was closed, for some reasons, but it requires some walking too. Haha, so I was just like, nah forget it. Too lazy to walk under the freaking sun. (How I wish I was traveling there in their winter!).

Went on the next station later on, I forgot what it's called, bought some gifts there, and tried the icecream in the shape of an egg, dk what is it call. Took some photos, haha can't stop with the photo thing, selfie welfie whateverfie. LOL. 

PingXi was our last stop for the day! We all went there for a special reason - THE SKYLANTERNS! 

People said it's nicer if we light it up and set it off at night, which was always we saved PingXi as our last stop for the day.

We all chose the white skylantern as we wanted the same purpose. Wrote down all my wishes on it, lighted it, set it off! May all of our wishes come true one day. :) 

Went back to TaoYuan, met up with the others, like a reunion again, while we were all having our supper in the 7/11. Gahhh, I miss those moments now! 

I miss all of you guys. SO DANG MUCH NOW.

Fifth day of our trip! 

Left Alishan, went down to the ChiaYi station, wanted to take the train to travel back to Taipei. But we missed the train. Ha. Shame Shame. Waited for another hour for the next one. 

So took the train from ChiaYi to Taipei, and it took 4 hours for the whole journey! So basically we just sat on the bus and the train to kill half of the day. :( time wasted. 

Went to WuFenPu from Taipei, the shopping heaven!! Everything is so cheappppp there. 

But according to Chopper, only one third of the shops are for guys. True that, girls need more stuff than guys so that's for sure. :D I'm so wise lahh. 

Okay, I didn't get a lot of stuff there, cos the clothes were not really like what I would wear. BORING. 

Got myself another pair of shoes again. :P

Tried the fried mushroom and spring onion pancake there, the fried mushroom was super good, omg, the best street food I've ever had in Taiwan! 

Okay, went back to our university then, it was the end of our 5daystrip. We actually had a one day trip for the next day. :)

Met up with the rest and discussed about our plan for the next day on the rooftop when we got back to Vanung.

It was the fourth day! Sad thing about today was that Priscilla, Ben and Joanne left us for our week off trip. They all had other stuff to deal with, so they couldn't join us. 

But it was alright, 5 of us (the rest of us) caught the super early bus and headed to Alishan, our next destination. We were almost late, and thought we were gonna miss the bus. 

Arrived there in the noon time cos the bus itself took 4 hours to travel from Sun Moon Lake to Alishan, yeah it's far I know but it was definitely worthy! Alishan has the best weather in Taiwan! It was like 18-20 Degree Celsius up there cos it is 2000++ meters above the sea level. And the mist on the mountain made it even much more cooler!! Ahhh. I miss it already. 

It was the last destination for the week off trip so we decided to stay in somewhere nice, therefore, the hotel. :P

Got 600NT discount from the boss, it was because we had pretty girls and handsome boys in the group, he said. 

Took the Alishan railway to the station up there for some freshER air and sightseeing spots. 

Had some PHOTO-SHOOTS too. :P 

Thanks Jin for all the great photos! 

I will let the photos do the talking for the our activity in the day. 

Alice was craving for hot pot so badly, and since it was our LAST day, again, we decided to pamper ourselves with some good food! 

And after dinner, I went to the convenient store to get myself an ice-cream. I always have a thing for ice-cream when it comes to cold weather, weird people like me are hard to find. XD

Got ourselves some beers to chill in the room at night, and we all had the pillow fight! Hahahaha how fun. We kept stealing each other's blanket and everything. Lovely night!

Woohooooo! Third day of our week off trip! I am actually blogging on the plane right now, and I'm feeling super emotional. 

So, we took the bus and headed to Puli, and checked in our accommodation, we stayed in a more like a budget hotel that day, it was the cheapest among all of our accommodation. 

Took the bus to our traveling spot when we were done, SUN MOON LAKE!!! 

The weather for that day was cloudy, so it was quite cool, took the boat, travelled from one pier to another in Sun Moon Lake, they have like more than 3 piers there. But we only went to two, cos the rest sounded boring for us. 

Took a few photos on the boat of course and I loved the wind and the color of the lake! 

Took a gondola ride to have a perfect view for the Sun Moon Lake, and I was in the same gondola with Linh, Priscilla and Ben. Gosh, reminded me of the crazy things they did in it. They did the Waka Waka dance!! Yeah, in the gondola! 

Chilled and had dinner at a lake view cafe with everyone after the trip from the gondola. 

Had another great talk with everyone again, we had been doing this, 'saying something good about each other' thing for the past few nights and it was my turn for that night cos they said they wanna save the best for the last. :P so, they all said good things about me. Touched touched neh. Haha. Love you guys lots! 

We started all the snapchats at night. Hahahaha.

4/8/2014 in Taiwan

Second day of our week off trip! We were still in TaiChung for that day, and we went to the Fantasy Story park where you can find all the fancy cafés, buildings, and stuffs. Haha. Explored almost every single corner there, except for the outside park that was closed on that day. 

We found this, DIY teddy bear shop. It was really cute, with lots of plushies. Wanted to get one but I guess I won't be doing it on my own. Haha. 

Had our lunch at the Cafe de Flora, had a really great time there and the food was soooooo good! Ah. 

Hung out at the shopping center nearby where a very big bookshop is located in. I'm not much of a reader so I just went to shop instead but didn't get anything I want. Lolidkwhy. 

Went back to hostel later on for a small break, then headed to a Japanese curry restaurant for dinner. 

We did the 'Question Game' there, and I felt bad cos I wasn't being completely honest for my answers. :( I didn't have a choice. 

Anyway, tried some of the street snacks after our dinner since it was the last night in TaiChung! 

Had the pillow talk again with everyone, but this time, we went to the girls' room. Baha! 

Love them so much. xx
