Taipei - Day 8 of 8 (Sat 22 Sep 2007)

Alas! Last day. Our driver is suppose to ferry us to Taoyuan Airport at ard 3.30pm so we can't really travel far this day therefore we just take our time to prepare. Fortunately we did some packing up the night before so it was not so rush on this last day.

Thank god this day is the only day when I could wake up at 8.30am for the whole Taipei trip!

It's My McDonald... & Fried Chickens (Not KFC la...)

I'm sick of the same breakfast for 7 consecutive days at the hotel and had decided to head outside for the last Taipei morning meal. Haha... Macdonald spotted! I ordered the hotcakes with pork sausage and harsh brown plus a pippin hot coffee.

Ah...most important meal of the day settled and we happened to pass by a shop selling fried chickens (so early in the morning?) so of course we had 2 pieces takeaway for snack later.

Pack up and GO!

Although we had most of the belongings pack, the room is in a MESS! Cups with last night's leftover tea, our clothes draping on the hangers and chairs, toiletries everywhere.

Since we gotta check out the room at 1.30pm, we would had to place our luggages at the reception while we wandered around XiMenDing until our driver arrived.

Strawberry Ice Cream Cravings

What can we do? Walked pass shops and streets...snacks again, heh...

Eat like a glutton huh?

Mmm...quite satisfied now. There is a hawker selling spring onion pancake, I gave it a try then. Finally i had to surrender, I am really full.

Departmental Store Clip

Well...not food every time, came across this departmental stores selling most of the beauty products from Japan. There were some off-the-shelf cosmetics which is unavailable in Singapore.

If u've seen the clip u will notice me holding a powder casing in my hand, it looks so nice so I bought one with the pressed powder sold separately. I bought the lipstick of the same series too and also an eye shadow. Oh no, run out of cash, this is when mastercard comes in handy...

Time to gather

Alright, time to gather at the hotel now and just take one last shot of Taipei street. By the way, it was still drizzling with slight wind.

The feeling to leave is sad and thrilled. Irony right? Maybe I should clarify, sad for the fact that the vacation had came to an end and thrilled b'cuz I would be back to my own country, my home in a few hours time! But Alvin thinks otherwise, he feel sad to leave b'cuz he claims that Taiwan seems homely to him. (Hey or is it b'cuz girls here r much prettier huh!?)

Oh by the way guess what? We happen to witness the drama shooting of the local media crew! I saw one of the boyband member from "Fei Lun Hai" but I can't remember his name. He was the one who starred in "First Kiss". I had wanted to take a picture of him but he don't seemed to look at my direction. Too bad it was not Wu Zun that i saw, haha... anyway all its members are charming.

Bye Bye Taipei!

Boarded the plane and ready to set off. It was a pity we couldn't shoot the night scenery else it would come out dazzling. From my window pane, the night view of Taiwan from the sky is spectacular...

If we were to travel Taiwan again, our next destination would be TaiZhong and Alishan!
