Taiwan Day 4, 5, 6

 you know, my keyboard cannot type 5. i have to copy and paste it everytime i want to key in that. haha.

i am getting lazier to blog about each day hahah. i admire my friends who can remember what happened on each day.


well, day 4 was mainly shopping at shilin and xi men ding. (:

i mostly forget about the activities, but i remember the food! hahah

i was pretty insistent that we try the modern toilet restaurant.

it's got a pretty cool layout, guests are seated on toilet bowls, and the table is actually a bathtub with clear glass over it. i don't have a great pic of it so i took one off the internet!

and of course, food is served in mini bath tubs, toilets, etc. lol i was so amused.

food is passable, i guess the selling point is really still more on the novelty. i'm still glad we tried this restaurant out. haha have been wanting to ever since i first saw it featured in a magazine!

 ice cream shaped like poo. hahah, its just cute to look at though. the taste of this ice cream is terrible.and im pretty sure its not just psychological.

 Z said i had to try the xi men ding mee sua, and i did! just as he said, it was really tasty and yummy, what he didn't tell me was that there were intestines inside >:[

i figured that out halfway through. ):




at night we made a trip to shilin night market, and it really is huge! as mentioned, the fashion wasn't really my type, but still, there were very nice clothes, my sis got a whole lot of new dresses!

I... was busy eating hahah (:


this is my favourite! green onion pancake yumyumyum 

 also nice noodles :D

 all i remember of day 5  is that we went to taipei 101

there's an elevator you can take to go up to floor 89 in 37 seconds flat. it was quite cool, but each lift was sooo packed and squeezy, i felt it detracted from the experience :/

there were lots and lots of tour groups, so yea, we had to queue for really long just to take the lift.

kind of a been there done that sort of touristic experience i spose. haha

 well, we had ramen after that! hahah, taiwan is quite heavily influenced by japan, so i find their Japanese food all very yummy.

 haha i find that when im not working and doing proper editorial reviews, my vocab is very limited. food is always yummy. hahahaha

 day 6 we took a bullet train to hualien

me and my sister sleep whereever we go. on the bus, on the train, on the car, on the taxi. sleep sleep sleep. we dont see anything. hahahah, wake up eat, and back onto the car to sleep. omgosh. hahah

 well, we woke up for photos! :D hahah


we went exploring the taroko gorge, its full of swallow holes, and i was very happy observing the geographic features

look such pretty scenery!

not that pleased with the silly hat i had to wear though! i wore a shower cap below the blue helmet to prevent my hair from getting dirty. and so i really look ridiculous. hahaha 

but it's okay! all's well that ends well with xiao long baos! 

lovelove!
