We got dressed and went to Taipei Train Station.
Our plan of the day was to buy tickets at Taipei Train Station (Different from the taipei MRT, ok!) to Taroko National Park (太魯閣國家公園) which is in Hualien.
But we met with difficulties...... as the coming weekend is the Mid Autumn Festival (long weekend holidays), thus alot of people will be coming back to taipei to visit , vice versa. The tickets were TOTALLY sold out (for the next few days!!) So, in the end, we were kind of 'stranded' in Taipei. So suay hor, got typhoon kena stranded in hotel room, after that no train tickets kena stranded in Taipei.
Anyways, so we couldn't go to Hualien to Taroko Gorge. BOOOOHOOOOOHOOOOOO! Its a tamade beautiful place that I want to visit lor.....cos its those country country side place, and you peeps know how much j'adore backward countries where fresh smell of grass and flowers (sometimes with cow dung! heh heh), breathtaking scenery and serene places reigns!! So I was super disappointed when I learnt that I would be stuck in Taipei - PUI! But the blessing in disguise was that I could change my air ticket to go home one day earlier!! That means instead of 24th sept, i can fly back on the 23rd! Whheeeeeeee! Haha, Limpei is homesick already ok!
So, after a foiled up morning, we seeked solace in shopping. We went to the nearest shopping mall - shinkong mitsuka and had a delicious brunch at the food court. After that we went shopping!! I got a TITUS AUTOMATIC watch!!! I have been lusting for an automatic watch for the longest time!! The way the second hand doesn't tick but move in a constant motion is just so.... sensuous! Well...after burning a hole thru' our pockets, we went to Taipei 101 to see see! The world's TALLEST buildling mah! Must do touristy thing and take pictures ma!>>
As we didn't bring a tripod out, we were resting the camera on top of our bags and then taking timed shots... we shot like 100 pictures before getting it correct. Haha, exaggerate only la! 100 shots the camera would have died liao! About like say, 8? Hehe..
Soon we were hungry (or to be exact, I was super hungry... as usual!) And we saw....Mister Donut!
Look at the wide range of delectable donuts. *drOOls*
After photo taking at the tallest building in the world, we decided to visit "Huaxi Night Market"
this was a night market where selling snake food is most famous. By snake food I mean that the food comes from snake,and not the food that snake take!
So there were abundance of snake soup, snake galls,snake blood dunno simi EEKKKKSSS! The snakes were locked in cages, u can just pick which snake u want and end then end its misery....
Bo la, Bo la, no pictures of snakes in cages la! Phototaking is prohibited one!
On a totally irrelevant note,
heres some nice shots of sunsets:
