taipei day 3

Continued...taipei day 3...its free and easy today...so according to my 'plan'...is a whole day of shopping today...in e end woke up at 10...cos u see...shopping centres only open at 11am...lol...aniwae...breakfast is 阿宗面线 again...lol...

after tt proceed to take mrt...surprised by how orderly e ppl are there...strictly kept to e right when on e escalator (really strictly)...and u need to queue to get into e mrt train...unlike how messy singaporeans are...just imagine how everyone is trying to squeeze into e morning train in singapore...OMG..really irritating lor..but in taipei...good in a way...everyone queues...dun need to push or wat...lol

(one thing gd bout their train is e dark blue seat available called 博爱座...
meant for pregnant elderly etc ppl la...normally no one will sit there de really...so really gd lor..haha...)

First stop of e day: 忠孝复兴站
Walked like a nerd with a map in hand..lol..dunno walked in rounds for how many times b4 i finally found e hello kitty cafe...but sadly...too many ppl q-ing up..cos is sunday...haix...had to wait for like 2 hours b4 u can get a seat...so in e end..gave up e idea of eating in it...so just took some pictures lor...really a sweet cafe...did not manage to capture too much picx in e cafe itself besides e big kitty waiting chair...e lightings inside are nice lor...sadly...no pics...

(sweet right...but quite ex la e food)
Aniwae..this stop also have 3 big shopping centres sogo pacific, or better known as SOGO 太平洋百货 in chinese...settled lunch in one of e food court...

(蛋包饭，鳕鱼和类似麦当劳的咖喱
甜点：草莓yoghurt)

Next stop: 市政府站
Here u can find really a lot of shopping places...just look at e map below...


(纽约纽约购物中心，华纳威秀电影城
SOGO is at e previous stop,not here)

main thing here is this 新光三越(信义店), got a total like 4 buildings (A4,A8,A9,A11) in this area..each at least like 10 over stories high...whoa...wonder who can shopped finish in one single day...just imagine 10 taka in singapore...haix...oops..i am not being biased...but shopping centres in spore is really nothing compared to this le...

And of cos...e building not to be missed...taipei 101....can see this building from very very vey far away le...十分壮观...but sadly..i didnt went up to e observatory area la...too ex in my opinion..NT 400 to get up to 89th storey...shops here i didnt really shop also...mostly those designers' brand...something like spore paragon...


Next stop: 后山埤站
Main attraction here is of course 五分铺...where u can find wholesaler clothes...really nvr regret coming here..things here are sooooo cheap lor...a tshirt for like less than $5...bought some clothes here (my sis bought more though)....sad thing is strictly no trying la...nonetheless...really nice shopping here...can see what is 'in' for e season here lor...(clothes here are sold to places like shilin and xmd)...but sometimes their clothes not very suitable for spore...there wear is ok..cos most ppl are dressed like tt...but when u wear in spore...can look a bit ah lian ba...where u get every ppl staring at u...something like boots are so common in taipei but u rarely see one in spore...

Dinner at e 胡须张鲁肉饭 seen at e pic there...we a bit funny la...actually intended to go to 饶河夜市 for dinner de..but we just cant find our way there...then also lazy to ask plus walk ba...so just aniwae find a place to eat...taste not bad :)

(still dunno why we cant find e night market..is supposedly just behind e 松山火车站 (in above pic)..and 五分铺 is like in front of e 火车站.. so really like no sense tt i cant find it..**angry**


Aniwae..last stop: 忠孝敦化站..
main point of coming here is for e bookstore...eslite bookstore (诚品书店)...is actually like kino like tt...but is open 24 hours...a lot of books...my fave place...haha...especially books here are like so cheap compared to spore...can get a book here at less than 18 bucks when u need 26 bucks at spore...of cos...did not go back empty handed...bought an idol book..haha...typical me...but cant blame me...a lot of books here are in chinese...or rather...traditional chinese...reading simplified chinese can send me to dreamland la...so...ermm..ya lor..haha

(so can imagine how hard for me in taipei...every word is in traditional chinese...even e maps...see until i headache...luckily i still can understand la...cos everytime see lyrics also in 繁体 form...so not so bad...)

aniwae...after tt..head back to xmd...of cos my mum is too exhausted to shop animore...so we just went back lor...bought 传奇珍珠奶茶 and KFC b4 heading back to e hotel...haha...yup...my fave food (drink) for e whole of taipei trip is e milk tea here..really really really nice...being a milk tea fan...i can guarantee tt this is e nicest milk tea i had ever drank...奶茶味真的很浓很香...haix...now thinking of it 让我超想奔去台北再喝一杯...不过不可能，也只能望梅止渴了...


(BTW..is NT 35 for such a big cup...sobs..missing it)
