woohoooo...

now for the 3rd day...

so happy that my update is moving..hahaha..

the plan for day 3 was:
-dan shui 淡水( in the morning....)
-shilin night market in the evening..
-ohh..then supper with steamboat to end the day...hehee..

morning...

we went out to dan shui on our own..

VERY FUN without my uncle...

we took the train...thou the distance seems far,but taking a train down wasn't very slow...

streets of taipei again...

this is how their single trip fare coin look like...

see!!this is the one that singapore shld have...

so we won't have our very own famous train suicidal cases...

ohh..seriously, the people there are so much well-brought up compared to us..

they will automatically stand in one right lane to let other passengers to walk faster in the left lane..

the opposite of singapore...singapore have to stand left lane to let people to walk off faster on the right lane...

BUT!!! some people are really thick-skinned or actually not considerate enough,they will just simply stand where they want...stupidd!!

this is not a temple...

its actually a hotel...cool rite??!!

ohhh...lunch at some steak house in dan shui..

singaporeans will like this..

once u ordered their food, u can go to the back and help urself with unlimited amount of side dishes,drinks,ICE CREAM!!,popcorn....salads...fruits..

then we went into a shop, i tot some shops will use "the chip chip"sound of the birds as their sensor..

hahhahaa!!

then suddenly i looked up,ahhhh!!!real birds in bird nest...oh man!!

streets of dan shui...

snoopy house...

we went into the coffee house coz it suddenly rain...

i look like shit...

hahahaa..don;t bother...

my cousins saw their favourite!!!

beatles!!

in caps...

this is a museum full of weird creatures...

pigs with 2 heads la...

my sister, me and our ancestors...hahaha..

this is a windy place...

the river...

very nice..with nice scenery...

didn;t went to the lovers' bridge as recommended by corinne...next time next time..hahhaa..

dunkin donuts!!! cafe...cool rite??

not found in singapore...

boooo...

the box is diff from the one from malaysia...

anyway the concept is totally diff la..

malaysia's was much dirty with no cleanliness standards...

this another brand of donuts..heard waas nicer then dunkins...

but got no time and no urge or cravings to get them..hahhaa...

pris mayb u shld get mister donuts and try them...

my kids...hahaa...

see..everytime in singapore i see some tourists taking pictures in the train or what..i tot that it was stupid..but..hahahaha...i also do that when in taiwan...

yeahhh!!we reached the famous, must go shilin night market..

one street for food, one street for fashion...

very fun place to go!!!

u can find all ur must-eat-taiwanese food in this night food market...

the 超大chicken cutlet...("super big"chicken cutlet...)

but seriously, personally i tot it was ok only..mayb we went to the wrong stall to buy...

then taiwan sausage...

ok only thou...actually its not that nice..hahaa...

actually the kids are tired and we bought too much heavy stuff from 淡水..so only my sister and me went down to see the food market...the rest sat at the train station...hahaa..

then my sister and i brought back back to the food..

see my irritating kid..hahaha..

my one and only parents...

i dunnoe what is this pic for...hahaha..

see!!they have parking lots for bicycles...

then we have to bring the kids to eat..so we settle at mac...only the kids ate...

and seriously, the taiwanese are super environmental conscious...

they have like to two diff dustbins..

one labelled "general waste" ..the other shld be recycled waste...

then i always see people standing at the dusbins for quite a while...

actually they are standing there figuring which waste is to which dustbins..

if its in singapore, we wouldn't bother...

everything just chucked into one dustbin...

hahahaa..thats actually wat i did...

HAHAHA....

we have nv cultivated this kind of environmental friendly concerns behaviour..

i think we really shld...

then we ate the spirals potato chips..

not cheap thou...

but it was not bad...

then we went to the shilin fashion market...bought quite a handful of stuff there...

hahhaa..there was this very interesting scene,where they actually have many illegal cart sellers...

so when the police come..and they quickly pack their stuff and run to hide at the small lanes.hahaa..

my sister and i didn;t caught the scene..coz i think we were in the shoe shop..haha...

but our parents did..

my auntie was bargaining to buy something..then next moment she turn back..the push cart gone..hahaha..everything gone..damn funny...

my sister and the train toilet...

i tot it was actually cleaner than the singapore's...

in the train..........

then when we back home, my uncle not at home..he's in office...

see!!office soo much better..computer,aircon..cleaner...fresher air...

then we sat at the cafe near my uncle's house...

fooling around....

THEN...my uncle suggest to go for supper!!

steamboat...hahahaa...nice!!

me with my $2.50 bag!!hahahhaa...

ps: i haven;t shown my loots from taiwan..HAHHAA...

this the steamboat house...just few steps away from my uncle's place...

see..the things u can take...

small pots...u can choose wat kind of ingredients u want...

YUMMYLICIOUS....

fattening for the night..but who cares...

then we headed down to 7-ELEVEN...

so much better than the singapore one..

me and my drink with wu zhun!!!hahahaa...

this suppose to be the signboard of the road name...too bad the flash...

this the outside of the apartment..

u will have to press the doorbell...

and the person inside will look at the video phone first to see who it is...
think back, its actually good to stay in some apartment in taiwan..at least u know how it feels to stay in taiwan..rather than in hotel...

end of day 3 pictures...still got somemore...

wah.all the sales and the PJC chalet and farewell gifts can well enough suck me VERY VERY DRY...

haiz...i have used all the GST money before they r in my account..hahhaa...

ohh..i heard that another diff between SIA and Silkair air stewardess...

is Silkair stewardess do not have the time to stay in the destination for a few days..

coz the company doesn't want to spend the money to pay the foreign airports money to "park" their aircrafts...

somemore Silkair goes to Shenzhen, Kao Shiong,Manila,Philliplines.....

not like the SIA one...

interesting...

i'm not in love ;
