Hello!! Today I will be doing one of Yumeko's Weekly Photo Challenge: The Vacation Edition!
This is a great time for me to summarise my grad trip to Taiwan, Taipei recently ^^
1. Somewhere you visited on your last vacation
This was our first time to Taipei, thus we decided to do touristy things and visit some tourist attraction in Taipei. This is at the entrance of Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall ( 国立中正纪念堂 ), a nice museum to visit especially when you tag along a guide provided by the museum explaining about the history of Chiang Kai Shek.
2. Something you bought on your last vacation
aka insert a haul picture here XD. You can see I bought mostly clothings. When I visited Watsons and Cosmed, it was after I bought all the clothes and feeling the pain in my wallet lolll. So I decided to stock up on my necessities and things that caught my eye. Though I really wanted to get other items on my list, I could not find them in the stores I visited.
These yummy food are from Danshui (淡水). Personally I find that the Black Pepper Bun from Danshui is so much better than the famous one at Raohe Night Market (饶河街观光夜市) opposite Wufenpu (五分埔).
4. A ticket/bill/receipt from your last vacation
There is a funny story behind this ticket. As we bought this ticket from the Taoyuan HSR ticketing booth, and the guy gave me the 12.40pm timing when it was 12.38pm. I didn't realise this until we slot in the ticket at the entry gate and the personnel there said to hurry as the train is coming in 2 minutes time. In the mad rush we went to the nearest lift and went down to the platform. But we found out that it was the Southbound platform (Taipei is Northbound). In short we had to change the tickets as we missed the train =.=" .
Hence remember that Taipei is Northbound and don't go to the wrong platform as you will waste alot of time as the lift is very slow. I use the escalator sometimes as there are alot of people using the lift but there are signs asking you to use the lift when carrying luggage.
5. The number one place where YOU live, that you think people should visit
Hmm.. other than the usual tourist attractions here, I believe that the Singapore Botanic Gardens is a nice way to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and take a breather. Besides there is a nice shopping mall beside it and you can visit it after touring or walk further down to Orchard Road too lol.
Some of the features taken in the Botanic Gardens, when I visited with friends during our holidays as going to town gets boring sometimes..though going to the land of mosquitoes sounds boring too =P but its pretty fun when you have great company XD.
Ehh I have much to elaborate on Taipei, maybe I will do another post on it. If you have any questions feel free to ask me! ^^
