Taiwan Day 8

Date:27/06/12

Venue:西门町(ximen)

Yesterday was tired like hell~ but had to get up early in  the morning~ since i wanna do shopping~

Woke Wynlim up at 7.30am.. and woke Vagiz up as well, but he said he only will go taipei once he got his sim card from his manager, well, me and Wynlim went to Taipei Railway Station first around at 9am..

Coffee and bread as breakfast

My bus ticket~ 

Both of us took a nap in the bus~ and around 10.30am, we reached the main bust station in Taipei... still the surrounding is like complicated, since the MRT/THSR/Shuttle bus/main bus station is nearby which mean in different exit~ so, you have to really follow the direction of the sign board...

To XiMen from the bus station, you have to go to the 1st floor (there is an information centre at 1st floor if you not sure where should you refer to), follow the direction TRA( 台铁）, and then take MRT（捷运） follow the 板南 永宁 direction to the platform 4, you can get to XiMen station, and come out at the exit 6~

Here some pictures in the stations~so, you just have to follow the signboard~ =)

A weird model found before the entrance of the platform

Here is the platform towards the XiMen station

In case, you still lost somewhere, please do not hesitate to ask the people in the counter, They can give you a very clear direction/way

Exit 6 will bring you to the streets of shopping heaven.. 

Is like selling the fashion that youngster like, so, teenagers like to hang out here..

But the shop lots only open at 12pm... *I am so surprise, because usually, shops open at 10am~

This is Ximen area~ Is kinda big~ the symbol of Ximen is the Red House(西门红楼)

Since I was busying shopping, I just random snapped on the street, Not much pictures I can show =)

Malaysia flag =)

the dog is super adorable

and follow some information searched by my manager, Jerry, from wikipedia, this is the restaurant that quite well known in this area.. Duck/Goose meat..I had my lunch here.. Price, expansive, but, the food is Really nice =) NT$250 include a bowl of meehoon

And guys, there is a shop using Golden Retriever as the shop sign to attract more customers..

Awwww, look at it, so, CUTEEE~ damn huge the dog, and it has very beautiful paws!

again the bubble milk tea is the attraction of Taiwan.. everywhere you can get it, with big or small or even MIX pearl...

Below are pictures on the Red House

I am sure night view of Ximen is very nice, However, Me and Wynlim were too tired to walk and shop... So, we back to HsinChu around 6pm... We walked through almost every shops lots and also the mall in Ximen(the mall is like so SMALL compared to Malaysia, even smaller than Klang Parade).. Price isn't cheap in the mall, price of the outfit is like in Sogo.. So, we bought our items from the shop lots on the street..

I got 2 pair of new shoes! I kinda agree with ivy said, the sandals/heels here are very comfortable to wear and the price not that expansive~ You can get cheap +Nice +comfortable 1 here... I got my backpack(red pucca dots).. and some accessories..*i got some souvenir for few of you as well

While walking in the mall, I realize that there is a AKB48 official item shop... Han Jie, ur girls... seriously, I dunno who is ur fav member, if not, i could get you something special maybe....

We do feel tired after walking here and there... we bought a drink and sat in KFC... for 30 min, so that our feet could get some rest... =) agian passion fruit green tea...I am obsessed with it~

Before we back, I managed to tried the noodles that recommended from the website(again, my list of food can cancel one more item here...)阿宗面线... Long queue and seem like the tourists like to visit here, so, the food must be tasty~ I tried, and, for me, it was ok, taste something like Loh Mee in Malaysia(ACS loh mee the best XD)

Since 5pm-6pm is the peak hour, so, the station is packed with passengers.. Many of them were rushing,back home I guess....

Even the toilet is packed and have to queue up for that...

The LED show which slot of the toilet is available/in used/not using*convenient to check out*

There is a calligraphy exhibition on the way we got back to the bus station~ simply took few of the photos without look at the description card board beside the object*rushing back to take rest...

So, this was my day,... I spend a lot 2day, so, no outgoing 2moro or friday... Have to prepare the teaching materials and do my diaries as well... >< I wish to visit more places, damn I need more money!!!
