Taiwan Trip: Day 3

Visit Sun Moon Lake -> Wenwu temple -> Cingjing Farm Stay
I have no idea what happened today, because I was sick. My stomach and head was feeling funny since morning, on the way from hotel to Sun Moon Lake. As you can probably see my face wasn't looking good.

So we went to Sun Moon Lake by a private yacht and had our lunch there. Tried wild boar's meat (山猪肉) but I didn't eat much because my stomach was feeling funny, and uncomfortable.

Went to wenwu temple, and got some fortune slips. Hahaha we didn't listen so we didn't know how to do it, ended up getting inferior lot, but booo it's not true!! We didn't know what to do, we just randomly typed a number, when we are supposed to throw the wooden thing. HAHA and the hotel next door had a really cool story!

During the taiwan earthquake in 1999, the earthquake reached the door step of the hotel, before turning the other direction. Like WHAT LUCK. I saw the picture the crack was like perpendicular to the doorstep of the hotel, before turning 90 degrees, parallel to the hotel. Like a little more and the hotel would've fallen over. Well that was interesting. I should've taken a picture of that picture because now I can't find it online!!

Oh well, if y'all ever visit Wenwu temple, do take one. (inside the temple). I was feeling sick so... didn't feel like taking any photos or anything.

Then we headed to Cingjing farm (WHICH ISN'T EVEN A FARM.) It has like no animals whatsoever. LOL. Anyway the air was pretty nice, I vomited at night (horrible horrible HORRIBLE) and its like 8 degrees outside, what's that jacuzzi doing outside?!

Hahaha (sidenote) while stalking the other family in the tour's facebook, i saw that dude went into the jacuzzi at night at freaking 8 degrees outside. WITH WATER FLOWING INSIDE THE JACUZZI. He posted the video of it, and i stalked and found it huehuehuehue! :')

We Started @ 8:17 PM

Taiwan Trip: Day 2

Had breakfast buffet provided at the Hotel. :)
Went from Taichung to Kaohsiung
Visited the The Pier-2 Art Centre
Took many pretty pictures here! It's basically a place for you to take all the nice pictures! :)
They had cute houses, cute buildings, cute train tracks etc.
Look at the slideshow to check out some of the pictures we took!
My sister and I had a lot of fun here because we're both trying to take hipster pictures. Like those in magazine covers or in instagram. Hahaha trying out different angles and everything! Great place to visit to get some good display pictures!

Hipster/Step using phone picture!

Similarly

Added some vintage feels to this swing picture!

Step Walk. HDR mode on blogger has this extra Play symbol :(

Walking on train tracks picture.

Then we went to take a ship/boat to head over to Cijin Peninsula (?) I think.
Here, they sell a lot of seafood! Probably fresh because its near the black sand beach! We ate deep fried squid again (because it was really yummy yesterday) and tried their deep fried mini crabs sold at the food stands.
You can choose to ride a bicycle around (rent one) or walk around. Well, I was wearing a dress that day, and my family didn't want to rent a bicycle, so we walked to the black sand beach which is only 10mins walk away.
By the time we reached the beach, it was already sunset. The setting sun at the horizon is also another photo worthy moment! We played around at the beach for about 40mins~1hr before we head back to the pier to head towards Liuhe night market!

My sister tried the Irish(?) ice cream for the first time! She got played but she snatched the icecream at the end :P

Before we reached Liuhe night market, we went to see the Formosa Boulevard at the station nearby Liuhe night market! The ceiling of the station is designed with galaxies(?) idk and they had anime characters train design. Something like trickeye museum with only train design! :) I took some pictures of myself pressing a button, and of my sister on the train. :)

At Liuhe night market, there were A LOT of seafood. The seafood looks pretty fresh, and the oysters are super HUGE here. Is this Japan or what? Hahaha, they had scallops, oysters, prawns, mantis prawns etc. It's a seafood paradise! Oh and we quenched our thirst with Papaya milk, made from REAL PAPAYA. Hahah :) It's so yummy and addictive, that small cup wasn't enough!
It's really sweet and yummy, a must try!

And then, we headed back to the hotel to have a goodnights rest! I probably took the most photos today! Photoperfect!

Taiwan Trip: Day 1

Uber over to Changi Airport, and its the Pokemon season design at the airport!
Took a few pictures, then checked in!
1st accident: The tour guide gave our tickets to the wrong family! Oh my, so we needed to meet up with them even though they have already entered the departure hall. But I guess, they allowed us to pass through!
Had Burger King breakfast before boarding the plane.
We landed at Taoyuan Airport, 2nd accident, mum had plastic surgery and ALMOST couldn't pass the imigration at Taiwan's side. FML, stranded for about 30mins, because they needed to find a professional, and check etc. HAHA. So if you had plastic surgery remember to update your photo!!
I'm glad we managed to pass, then headed over to FengJia Night Market for the night.
Had a few delish food. 大肠包小肠 was quite yummy. I recommend the stall I chose because it had a long queue. Quite oily (most taiwan food is oily) but the taste is pretty good. :)
Had a few other stuff before heading back to Hotel.
Had a good nights sleep after travelling for a whole day!
