Taiwan Day 1

All the other girls have updated their blog, I cannot lose to em. Lol

We had to reach Changi Airport @ 6am.... and I tried calling Cailing cos she was the only one who didn't reply my check-if-u-have-awaken-SMS. But when she didn't pick up her phone, I tried lookin for her home number on our OG contact list, but to no avail.

Out of a desperate measure, I called SK for her home number. Then I was late for 15min. I was supposed to be the earliest to reach the airport!! Haha. But when Cailing reached the airport, we realised that her phone is kinda spoilt, she didn't receive the calls. -_-. I felt so guilty for waking SK up for nothing. Haha



Anyway after checking in, we ate BK breakfast. Amy insisted on eating 1 whole meal by herself and she became too full to enjoy her food on board. This is me, trying to translate the schedule which was in Chinese to the rest of em. I'm so glad I'm Chinese-speaking sometimes. Wahahaha.




Once again Cai sits beside me on the plane. When we came back from Sri Lanka 2 years ago, she sat beside me when I was puking like nobody's business and she was so scared. HAHA. And when we went Korea, she also sat beside me and I could feel her fear of me puking again. Oh well, shows that SIA pilots are skillfull & my motion sickness pills are working well!


When we reached Taiwan, we we brought to Tamshui for lunch & the lao se tour guide introed us to eat Ah-Gi, which is like a tou fu with tang-hoon in it, with some soup.


And we also ate the fishball soup, which I find quite nice but the girls don't like it. Haha.




Then we are the super long ice-cream which looks creamy but it turns out to be halfway between a sorbet and the Mac's ice cream cone, and it melts quite fast... and I tried to find a rubbbish bin but I couldn't find any! And the weird thing is... even w/o rubbish bin on the streets... there's no rubbish on the floor... (And I was still thinkin if there's rubbish on the floor I'll do the same. Haha)

Then we really ate and ate and ate. Haha. And does this board looks familiar?...



I didn't know it came from Taiwan. Haha. I luv their pudding milk tea~ Nice!

Next we were brought to the Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf that has a lover's bridge....




It is said that if u walk the bridge with ur loved one, then u'll last forever! So....



We walked hand in hand on the bridge! Hahaha. And the wind up there is super strong... So 2 crazy women started spoofing a well known scene...




The scenery is beautiful! How I wished we went there @ night instead...




Then we were brought to Shilin Night Market for dinner....




And here's the legendary Big Deep Fried Chicken Cutlet store...



But they don't cut the cutlet for u. And it has bones! -_-

I don't know whether we spent too little time @ Shilin but didn't really find it very fantastic. But we really ate alot again! Haha.



And my fav food of the day....



The Guan Cai Ban (literally translates to Coffin Board)!! It's actually a thick toaste with fillings in the bread. Super nice and hot and deep fried. Haha

And of cos the nice³ desert~


The ice is like shredded but super fine! Super nice~

And we also drank the Honey Bittergourd drink which has a nice initial taste but the aftertaste is bitter...



Nobody dared to drink further than 1 mouthful so I gulped the remaining cup of juice, and the bitter aftertaste disappeared! Haha. And anyway there was this weird guy...



He stood there and sang for v v long... And his voice was quite terrible... Later on we saw him @ Xi Men Ding on Day 7 also. HAHA.

Ok, end of Day 1, I'll think bout when I'll update Day 2... Haha. For a funnier version, pls visit Joo's blog. =D
