I love Taiwan 2010!!!
Monday, January 25, 2010
From 3 to 11 Jan, 7 ex-Xinmin students who met through SL and some were from the same class, embarked on a free-and-easy trip to Taiwan!!! We aimed to make this trip a budget one, one that kept all expenses including airfare to less than $1000 Singapore dollars. So we took Jetstar Asia!!
The whole flight was 4 hours long, I had intentionally slept later the previous night to sleep thru the 4 hours without food and drinks but we ended up chatting and Ning and I bought a cup noodle that cost $5 to share cos we were so hungry on board the plane. Hehe.

We reached Taoyuan airport at around 6pm and then i realised I don't have roaming!!! So we bought a local pre-paid card to shre among the girls and then we also went to get this youth card that entitled us to several discounts while touring Taiwan! Quite a hua2 thing. At the airport I took photo with Feilunhai!!!!
From Taoyuan airport we took a bus to Taipei Main Station where we walked and lugged our luggage to our hostel was (budget, remember?) and the bus trip was around 1 hour long.
When we reached our hostel, we settled a bit of money matters and then went on a food hunt for our dinner! For some of us it was the first meal of the day!! We walked many streets but mos of the shops were already closed. It was already almost 10pm, 9 plus in the evening. Hence we settled for Taiwan style Yoshinoya!! After that we walked back to the hostel and after bathing, we went over to the guys' room to watch tv - Yu le bai fen bai with guest stars Super Junior M!! We were scolded by the neighbour next door for being too loud. Hehe...
(Stay tuned....)
