Honeymoon - Kao Hsiung to Taipei- 6 Mar 10

Our bus took the expressway back to Taipei, along the way we saw Sakuras!! who say only Japan have... And they are beautiful too!!

Reached Taipei at around 1plus already too hungry!! ate Dan dan noodle. nothing much... like zha jiang mian.. We had to stay at 台北故宫博物院 for 2 hours... went walking for a while then went to the cafe for tea and had Haagan Das. ZW say its cheaper in TW then in SG. The toilet signs are so cute! they feature those 公公 and 宫女 hahhaa.

It began to get colder as we are into  middle of the day... we went to the Taipei 101 for window shopping. Went to the 小南门传统豆花 as recommended by 小杨. the beancurd is very smooth and the red bean is nice!!! We went into DKNY shop and saw 1 bag which seems nice!! but its around SGD 600!! expensive... hahaha.. 不舍得买. i can go for another holiday with this 600 ... u know!! hahaha.. Went to Coach to help eileen to see her wristlet. but we didn't buy cos its about 100. so we have to try our luck in HK.

小杨brought us to the tibit shop, vigor kobo, to buy souvenirs. its quite high class and cater to mostly tourist. so we didn't buy much.. think outside is cheaper. Last thing in our tour schedule is 士林观光夜市. And we begin our MAKAN venture again!! wanted to go to the mutton soup that 小杨 recommend but too many ppl so we skip that and went to the BBQ stall!! SOTONG!!! NICE!! 微笑碳烤 everything $11 only sotong is more expensive. Next nice one is 家乐鱿鱼大王。。 walking through the shops everywhere seems to sell almost same same things. We went to one of the souvenir shops to buy those confectionary items and sepnt almost $100 SGD!! 恐怖!!

中源大饭店 http://www.nc-hotel.com.tw/pricelist.php  Our Hotel seems nice and just beside it is 24 hours supermart le. So convenient and nearby also have 宁夏夜市. The room is quite new but we are given 2 single beds... but its already full le so ew just have to stick to it...

Honeymoon - Tainan to Kao Hsiung- 5 Mar 10

Woke up quite early for breakfast. Its only when boarding the bus then we know that there are caravans around too. :) next is travelling again ... along the way stopped at fruit store for toilet and buying of fruits. the fruits there seems very fresh.. but didn't get a chance to eat lychee though... Next we reached 美浓民俗村 for hakka tradition. Didn't do much there as there is nothing much!!

佛光山 is the next place we went, makan there as well. We just went to one of the temple then the tour guide told us if wan to wait at the entrance can proceed to walk on our own and meet up then. We directly went to the wishing well and try our luck. I did hit one of the bell!! then we went down to the meeting area to see see look look around.

The final city that we went is 高雄. the day before it had a earthquake of 6 plus but when we are there everything seems normal. We had to go to the 'so-call' must go places for tourist!! 台湾水产试验所！What place is this?? a place where they sell all those pearls and powders!! 小杨says that the govt actually make it a must for tourists to visit these type of place.. hai.. waste of time. Next is 莲池谭. basically its just 1 tiger and 1 dragon in a small lake... and nothing much le... heard form one of the tour mates that the clouds can actually alert the people whether would there be earthquakes coming.. Earthquake cloud!!  Next is shopping!! 梦时代. We went for their ferries wheel, Hello Kitty & Sanrio Friends 摩天轮， and my section is Sanrio!! they even have plush figurines of them in the car itself.  It was only 6 plus where its also quite dark le... nothing much to shop at 梦时代. heard from one of the waitress that they are having lantern festival at 爱河 and have FIREWORKS!!

Luckily we managed to get there on time and saw the fireworks. after that we took the 爱之船 to tour around 爱河. Thanks to the lantern festival that we actually saw the decorated 爱河. We had to walk back to our coach as the road are block already. 高雄信宗大飯店 is our hotel in Kao Hsiung. We were so tired that we didn't went out to explore...
