Taiwan Trip - Day 1

Places visited : Tamshui Old Street and Shihlin Night Market..


Flew China Air this time round. More comfy, more leg space and better food. One good thing i like is that each of us had a personal TV to keep us entertained for the entire 4hrs. Before taking off and landing, the screen showed what was happening outside, just like what the pilot was viewing.. so cool!!!

This is our tour guide, Steven who kept us entertained throughout the 7 days. He wore a suit to fetch us from the airport. Looks young and is very humourous. I find him very interesting. He talks in a funny way, for example, toilet = 歌厅,going toilet= 唱歌.. So at first when he told us that there is a 歌厅 at Starbucks, i literally thought that not bad ar, starbucks can also sing KTV. haha..

This is the view of Tamshui Old Street. Took a photo by the riverside. A lot of 小吃 but din get to try much cos our dinner is going to be served soon.

Had our dinner at Xiaolong Pau for dinner. Not very fantastic though. But i think better than the ones at Din Tai Feng. After the early dinner, we are all ready for shopping at the Shihlin night market, one of the largest in Taiwan.

Above is del and her bubble milk tea. In taiwan, bubble tea is a must try item. Their pearls are so Q.. The 3 of us simply love it. *very fattening though* Here are our shopping bags after 2 hrs of shopping. Quite little time given as we only managed to cover a small part of the night market. Ta pao quite a few snacks to the hotel and they are so yummy!!

This is what our hotel look like. It is actually a golf resort. Travelled about an hr from Shihlin to the hotel.

That's all for day 1. No night shopping cos the hotel is quite ulu. There are no stores nearby.
