breakfast was good!! so much variety and have roti prata too!! haha! Last breakfast in taiwan already so we spent a good time here and ate to our hearts content before we went to the roof top to see the swimming pool.

 took the high speed rail to Taoyuan airport.

 reached the station and saw this cute sign that wrote " KISS and RIDE" hah!!!

at the airport, waiting to check in now. we didn't bought much and only had one small carton of snacks home. Our luggage was pretty empty. Boarded SQ and waited a good one hour before it flew off and boy was I hungry. instead of having lunch, i ended eating on the plane at 5pm!! it was dinner already...and i was near fainting from hunger....

yup. that's all folks for our 8 days 寰岛台湾游.

HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance!!!

Day 07 - Taipei

 Breakfast. And I found a heart shaped nugget! So cute.

our hotel faces the Keelung harbour and the hotel has stickers all over their glass panels to show the harbour view.

lunch was at Taipei 101

 

we had about half hours time to walk around taipei 101 before heading over to Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall where we took some photos, climbed the huge stairs up to the hall and back down again. Rested in the coach and waiting for the rest to come up aboard. Saw locals feeding the pigeons.

 it was bloody windy here so i kept my windbreaker on and covered my head in case i get 脑中风.

 

that's me looking at my polaroids. dunno why it turned out overly exposed. sigh.

last stop for today is Ximending. Famous for Ah Zong Mian Xian. hubs had the small bowl while i had the big bowl. There's a station just outside the stall where you can add chili sauce, vinegar and garlic to your noodles. This time round, i think I'm more a customised to their taste. Not bad!!!

 back to the hotel. tonight we are staying over at Shangri La. sooo comfy! But i miss home and my 2 boys!!! Can't wait to go home now.

citysuper market is just beside the hotel where we got our supper snacks and i found this tabasco chocolate!!! SPICY!
