taiwan! 1st look~

e taiwan gang getting ready to fly off!~ i bot e pandan cake for my friend in taiwan, in case u'r wondering.

took jetstar again. e recent no-liquid rule is realli benefitting budget airlines, a bottle of 350ml mineral water costs S$3!

after much gossiping n bridge-playing, we arrived at taiwan's taoyuan international airport!!

look who else were on e same flight as us! e whole plane was like infested with NTU and PwC ppl lahz, gosh~

surprisingly empty airport, old and pretty dilapidated. but at least they din mess up our luggage. oh, i was pretty amazed by their arrival and departure electronic board, completely in chinese! duhz~

e darlings on our land transfer coach, having our 1st looks of taipei.

there are alotta such fields along e way, we were guessing if they'r wheatgrass field. like how wld us city kids noe?? hehz~

amazed by e no. of scooters they have on their roads. alot alot!

after an hr's ride, we finally arrived at our hotel! royal castle hotel 成都大饭店, which is not 大 at all. e room is small but cosy lahz.

but e hotel is so much better than we expected, they even have water cooler in each room! hot n cold water wor. service was impeccable too.

will u stop staring at my deceivingly pudgy arm!! it's juz an optical illusion. bah~

we went walk walk around e hotel area after we settled down. e above is Easy Shop, a 4-storey ladies' underwear shop right around e corner! cooL~

ximending 西门町 is juz 5min frm our hotel. e 'it' happening young place in taipei.

i saw mingxings everywhere in ximending!

their posters lahz. mingxings earn alot frm ads in tw huh, celebrity endorsements are ubiquitous.

jj lin is v hong in tw wor. JJ!!~ *heart*

look how huge their party world ktv 钱柜 is! we din k all e while in tw tho.

rose records 玫瑰唱片 in ximending! like our hmv lidat, where singers frequently hold their autograph sessions.

we were impressed by how speedily e roadside stall 路边摊 hawker bolted in anticipation of e cops. wow~

we met shan n her tw gang (told u millions of PwC ppl were in e same flight as us). requested shan to help us take a photo of us plus e symbolic ximending tv screen tower, but turned out no tower. -_- haha~

n tats our 1st look of tw. plenty more tw posts to come!
