Taipei

Day 2: 281109

Wrote in our itinerary that we have to leave the hotel by 9am, but we woke up at 8.20am and only left at 10.15am because the two ladies took eons to apply their make up -__-

My mom. She's obsessed with makeup while her daughter spends her life makeup-free. :) (Ok fine, I use concealer sometimes.)

The temperature was 16 degrees so I had to wear my fleece.

Went to this eatery opposite our hotel, and had brunch. I had pepper pork burger, and it is biiiiiig. Tasted good as well! Mom and Auntie Mary had egg cakes (that's what it said on the menu) and it tasted really good!!!


Our hotel! :D

First destination: National Palace Museum! Went to the train station, and we bought EasyCards (like Ezlink cards) with a value of NT500 inside. So we wouldn't have to buy the coin anymore even though it's damn cute hahaha. Traveled to Shilin! :)


Damn, the Wikipedia page was not kidding when they said there are tons of scooters in Taipei. -_-

Took Bus R30 to NPM!




There are approximately 650000 pieces of ancient Chinese artifacts and artworks in the museum, making it one of the largest in the world. The collection encompasses over 8,000 years of Chinese history from the Neolithic age to the late Qing dynasty. :D

Yeah, copied and pasted from Wikipedia. :P



I like this picture because I look skinny hehehehe.


After taking a few pictures, went in to the museum to buy tickets!

Bought joint tickets for the ferris wheel at Milamar Entertainment Park as well! It was quite cheap, and I managed to get a student price. Just had to present my ezlink card. :D

Our tickets!
No pictures allowed inside the museum, and I meekly obeyed. It was quite interesting, but I'm not interested in ancient Chinese history and I couldn't read anything in there because my Chinese = ultimate fail. -_- So it was quite boring for me.

My mom bought this jade piece for my grandmother:


Left around 1pm, and walked around the area before we took the bus back to Shilin.


At Shilin, we decided to have our late lunch at this really cool restaurant modeled to resemble the South Pole! It's called Northern Light Creative Cuisine. Really creative, haha.



I had Japanese curry baked rice, and it tasted awesome. :B
After eating, went to shop around Shilin, and I bought more presents for my friends! :D Saw a mini piano model and wanted to buy it for Carolyn since she plays the piano but it costs S$100 wtf.

Took the shuttle bus to Milamar Entertainment Park at around 5.30pm, and when we reached there, WOAH I WAS TOTALLY AMAZED

SO PRETTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

My mom said the lights are damn ugly because it's green, and that the green makes the ferris wheel looks so alien-ish. -_-

Pictures while inside the cabin!




My mom and Auntie Mary were damn scared haha because they are afraid of heights!! I was the only brave one, although I'm so young. HAHA. CHEH. Praise myself only. :B

After we got off, took a pic with my mom at this fake backdrop!

Decided to go to Shilin Night Market, and while walking out of the mall, I saw this awesome puzzle:

So pretty right?!

Anyway, took the train to Jiantan, and walked around the night market. :D I bought a pink hoodie and I wore it on the next day!! Hahaha. We bought this really cute snack:



In the shape of animals! Haha. Auntie Mary's holding the elephant one! :D

It was around 11 alr, and we were all very tired, so we took the train back to Taipei Main and walked to our hotel, packed the things we bought into our luggages, and slept!

AND THAT'S THE END OF DAY 2! :D
