Grad Trip at Taiwan 2012 第四章

Day 6 18/4/2012
By this time, we were already counting down to remaining days in Taiwan.
T.T

Next morning went to make Eldred's specs I think!

Why I mention this is because I think Taiwan staff really all super friendly de.

They will still ask Eldred to try on properly, 

including the shaking head to see whether the specs would fall off

and giving him all the advice according to his needs.

Shady couple.


Upon seeing Howcher doing this,

we got tempted too. hahaha!
This is from 娱乐百分百 btw.
Dancing queen teaching dance moves.

Hello guys,

Today we are taking the train to....

*'erm okay' faces*

Keelung!

WHY?

Cos we wanna go....

9 Sets!
Got it yet? aiyah lame.

Super scary de.
There would be people at the bus stop offering you private buses.
Persuading how much faster, how much cheaper etc etc
We felt that they were not very safe.
So stick to original plan of taking public buses.

Anyway, I really give double thumbs up to the drivers!
On the way up to 九份,
I can assure you sharp turns, crazy slopes, crammed lanes and what's not.
But the drivers never fail to overcome them :O

And finally, we reached

九份old street!

Ya see, another act of helping each other keep memories.

Group photo deserves to be bigger.

yipee:)

Settled for lunch at....

鱼丸伯仔！

:O NTD 75 only! SGD3.75!

Yummy fishballs + tau pok + vermicelli lunch sets!

Actually I liked the fishballs!

Yummy yums.

See all cleared!

Time to shop shop!

Malt candies!

Ice cream peanut pancakes!!

I thought this was cute haha:)

Look at her face.

ta daaaaa.

We tried this too!
冰淇淋铜锣烧 Dorayaki pancakes:)

Many flavours to offer!

Anyway my regret here is that I didn't get to try the 阿嬷芋圆!
Queue too long.

Oh this shop is really cute!
Anyway they have an outlet at Jurong Point now.

But I realise their prices in Taiwan are much cheaper,

like duhhh. lol.

One of their signatures, their chocolates!
What's really attractive about them is their packaging.
Creative & cute.
Appeal to girls.
Perfect for getting that souvenir back for your friends!


Anyway this Jiong also kept calling his ah neh here. haha.

lol I was just saying and didn't expect to really find a photo of it!!
caught in the act!
Still said something like,
"I show you what is Taiwan."
*turns phone aroound*
awwwww.

Audrey, 有狗！小心！

:P

Scenic view!
Rainy weather forbid us going to 十份！
dang!
nevermind.

Main point of coming to 九份 -> 土产
土产 土产 buy buy buy.
It was also another channel for guys to spend their unspent chunk of money lol.

Hai Yan, aka Sea Bird Nest can be purchased here!
Many of us also bought the Grapes drink:) poopoo everyday.

We bought all our 凤梨酥 and 太阳饼 at 李仪饼店。
Worth considering buying your 土产 here
because their products are nice!
Free sampling.
Plastic bags provided for easy distribution to relatives.
Delivery to your hotel!

Why I like their 太阳饼 is because it has a milky taste.
Different people, different preferences.
So if you are like me,
you'll like theirs too!

Ya, these ppl camwhore while we did our 土产 shopping.

Time to go!

Train back!

At Rui Fang train station.
Second time on this kind of train!
After RM episode at wu fen pu.

Question: How many people did the ^^v pose?
lol. typical tourist's pose!
Allen deserves a close-up cos of his leg!

On the way back,
we were somehow separated in groups.
Roomie htht on the train back! :)

After changing and all,
We are once back at SHI LIN!
for dinner.

To the two emo boys who dressed nicely,
and wanted to go clubbing,
but didn't in the end,

 they deserve 2 pictures! :)

Say NO to clubbing overseas.
A place you are foreign with.
They took advice from the nice shop owners!
Remember?
We are also happy that they didn't go. good:)

No more 官财板 by the time we reached:(

As a result, here's worst dinner in TW ever.

Looking at the picture 也令我反胃！
It's some cuttlefish soup bought at the stall opp. 官财板 stall.
Maybe cos our tastebuds are not used to it or something? :/

Look at our loots strewn across the table lol.
Another thing I really like is,
the plastic bags given by all the shops!
Especially girls' shops.
They always pack our purchases in those plastic bags with cutesy designs.
Perfect for putting gifts & stuff.


Fortunately 可丽饼 was not bad!

And delicious desserts made up for that awful soup!

Mango shaved ice! :D

Chocolate...

Say yes to more shopping at Shi Lin!

All out le! CHIONG AHHHH

Official 2nd last night in TW!

Bought many stuff.
Bags.
Blazer.
Dress.
Shirt.

Anyway Audrey and I kept contemplating over this shirt that we KEPT SEEING.
Got pale green, pink, black versions.
I think in the end she got it.
I didn't. lol.
think she also never wear up till now lor!

Shopped till late late

This boy here still can pose for a picture.
Waited for him so long at the Haviannas shop.
Cos he contemplated so long over whether to get a few pair of pants or something.
Think it was quite ex also!

To those times you do not see pictures,

we are most probably shopping lolol.

98% of the time, it should be true.

- End of Day 6! :) -

You want a preview?
Okay, 一做，做到尾。

Stay tuned!
