Naruwan From Taiwan!
Heylos! In case you are wondering where I have galivanted to, I am in TAIWAN! Have been here since yesterday and currently in Hualien. These past 2 days I have visited places like Xi Men Ding, Taipei 101, rode on the Bullet Train, visited Jiu Fen, Dan Shui Old Street and the Yi Lan National Center for the Arts. This place is really nice! Well....the company is good to. Came on this trip with Sunshine.

Touch down Tao Yuan International Airport after a six hour flight from Singapore. Paid a little extra to fly by Singapore Airlines. Not that we wanted luxury but because too many bad press about China Airlines in recent news.
We enjoyed the famous mee sua at Xi Men Ding and went up to the top of Taipei 101 for a view of the city. While at XI Men Ding, I smelt something very nice smelling and when I followed my nose......WOW! SMELLY TOUFU! It tasted really nice and it was not smelly at all! Hahaha. I never knew Sunshine was afraid of heights and yet she wanted to go to the very top. The wind was really strong up there and it was drizzling lightly too.

The day started with a ride on the Taiwan bullet train. It was a quick ride but I feel that Shanghai's Maglev is faster. NOt sure. Hahahaha. Visited the lover's bridge thereafter, otherwise known as Yu Ren Ma Tou (Fisherman's Wharf). This bridge was made famous in drama serials and we made friends with a lady who happened to be walking her dog on this day. We visited Dan Shui old street after this and we tried out them IRON EGG! Actually they aren't really iroan, they are just eggs which have been boiled in chinese herbal medicine until it shrinked down to the size of a quail's egg.

It started to drizzle by mid-day when we made our way to Jiu-Fen. Thankfully the sky gods were kind to us we managed to visit this little town on the top of a hill with little problems. Met a family from Hong Kong while we were having out lunch and had a hearty conversation with them. Sunshine could understand what we were talking about but she could not converse as her Cantonese is not too good.
About to go to sleep soon. Will be in Taiwan for another 8 days before I return. Will try to give more updates along the way! Hotel internet......VERY EXPENSIVE AH! Hahahaha!
