Happy Halloween guys... although i don't celebrate it. If you do....Hope you have a great night

Taiwan people love to keep pets. Most common is dog and follow by birds. Parrot especially.

Day 2

Let you have a glimpse of Tom's room

Colormix does not have single bed room. It's ideal for couple

This room cost TWD1200. But price is subject to change.

It was around 8am....We couldn't find any store to eat......Normal working hours in Taiwan is 10.30am to 12.30 or 1am

We went to Seven to experience instant noodle. Mr.Q Chiken cost me TWD35 and it was superb. Guess we enjoy ourself in Seven before heading down to Jiu Fen 九份.

From Xi Men Ting to Jiu Fen took us about 2 hours drive if not mistaken....

There's one incident I so paiseh. Ever since I arrive in Taiwan, I have this problem.....

Me "Tom....fast fast snap that 山洞 cave"

Of coz Tom knew what I was talking but as usual he just couldn't zip his mouth

Tom "huh? what cave? you mean tunnel?

Taxi driver "huh? cave....cave is different....."

Me " -.- "

Anyway....we stop along the way to snap this significant view of turtle island 龟山岛

Guishan Yu, got its name because its shape resembles a turtle.

You can't see it clearly from our pic....try to go there and see it for yourself

To our right...we saw this Temple along the mountain. We ask the Taxi driver if it's a tourist attraction, but to our surprise...it's just a normal Temple.

It's a very huge temple, we can view it from far....imagine if we been there.

Finally, we arrive at our destination.

The entrance to Jiu Fen. When we arrive, a group of tourist just arrive.

We have to wait for our turn to snap a pic with the sign.

Seven is doing very well in Taiwan.

First stop....ice drip coffee. I'm not a coffee lover. But it's taste ok to me.

Coffee = TWD60

Saw the tauke at the back. He sell 老友号芋圆 , mix color yam. Very nice, I love it in ice. Cost us TWD40

The souvenir we saw along the way.

The hustle and bustle of Xi Men Ting


战后，接收八角堂的沪商业者因建筑的红砖外观，改名为“红楼剧场”，1963年后，红楼剧场改映电影，因此又被称为“红楼戏院”或简称“红楼”。1997年，台湾内政部将红楼列入第三级古迹，定名为西门红楼

16.10.2011 Taiwan part 2

It was around 12 noon, our room wasn't ready yet. So with no time to waste, we head out to the busy street of Taiwan. Xi Men Ting 西门丁


First thing first, my colleague told me to get 'you you' card. For easy access around Taiwan.
The driver told us, we can get it from any of the 7-11 store.
They have Seven everywhere.....every corner I turn, I'm sue to find one Seven store.
To buy a 'you you' card. You need to pay minimum TWD200 with value of TWD100 inside. It's refundable but with service charge of TWD20.
The first thing we hunt for is 'Ah Zhong' mee sua 阿宗面线。
With cool weather and a bowl of hot mee sua...it surely give us energy for this trip.
A big bowl cost us TWD60


After mee sua, we walk on to see what's wait ahead of us. It's about 2pm...and it felt like 4-5pm here....I can't feel the heat but I can feel the UV....ahahaha
Then Tom saw this waitress bringing down a bowl of puff soup from little price love little princess cafe....hmmm, seem yummy...
so without any hesitation we walk up the stair and ordered one for ourselves.


Very randomly we chose some cakes for our desert.


The soup was ok...or should I say, the jagung soup is just jagung soup? lol
the cake was ok too....
Total spend TWD 220....ok la...like eating in KL also


There are tons of little store along the street selling variety of food.
A stick of fried bird egg = TWD 20
A roll of peanut ice cream = TWD 40
We even bought fruits 芭乐 = TWD 50


Then we saw this shop with long queue...so...we just join in and see what so happening.
It's marinade duck and some other marinade thingy...
cost us TWD 60. Some are tasty, some just too salty. But it's worth the try.


View from the shop and inside the shop


Ever where we go, there's cinema......gosh~~~


There are so many junction to go...we just simply turn and guess what we saw.
2 punk lady. Actually I wanted to take pic with them but there's a pervert guy keep taking pic with those girl, so i gave up.



Guess that's the area of art we turn to....see the graffiti on the wall.......
