Day 5: Danshui/Tamsui area! Took the red line all the way to the last stop which was Tamsui. Read online that the sakura had already withered :( but we still went to see see. Walking along the old street and went to bai bai at various temples, big and small. Then we took a bus to go Tian Yuan Gong. I fell asleep on the bus and the bf claimed that the stop was not announced. I was woken up at the terminal stop and the kind local commuter 'chided' us about missing our stop and made sure we got down at the right stop after the bus made a loop LOL.
As expected, the trees were bare =/ but it was still a beautiful sight. I can only imagine how stunning the place would look if the sakuras were in bloom, it would be extremely beautiful.
We had a late hotpot lunch and visited Shilin at night. Shilin night market offered different food from Fengchia night market and I ate so much XD most of the food photos are w the bf. Can see fb for more.
Day6: Rilakuma cafe, Taipei 101 and Shida night market-- chapalan day
We last minute decided to visit the Daan forest park cos the red line train was full of posters about the Azalea festival.
Reached the rilakuma cafe and hour early from our booking and fortunately the cafe had free tables to take us in. Food was good!!
The bf wanted to visit the totoro shop near Taipei 101 so we took a bus down. The shop only sold merchandise, no food. It was fun looking at the studio ghibli things but too exp to buy OTL
Shida night market was mainly for shopping but I didn't buy anything from there other than this caramel crepe. The shop owner was quite humorous so i'm dedicating this paragraph to him hahaha. Instead the bf and I went to this small supermarket and bought snacks and breakfast for the next day.
Day 7: Free day. As in we had nothing planned, just wanted to keep if free for souvenir shopping and rest our legs. Literally walked till my legs ache everyday, not kidding OTL. For lunch, we took a bus to the nearest ding tai feng cos 2 of my colleagues recommended to eat there. While getting down, the bf got kiapped by the bus door cos the driver was in a rush or sth. He managed to break free but I was stuck in the bus till the next stop HAHAHA we couldn't contact each other cos the wifi device was with me. Luckily the next stop was a straight road down, though quite far away. The driver was also apologetic and said aiya treat it as exercise. We managed to meet up in the end no problem hahaha it's funny though. Waited 20 mins to be seated. The food was delicious, though I don't think it was that much better than the ones in SG. The service was definitely better.
We went to the zhongshan book street and back to ximending after lunch. Settled early dinner at this risotto cafe cos there was a huge doggie inside. The doggie seemed sad :( The bf ordered this mint soda which looks alot like listerin LOL. Food was alright only.
We bought more souvenirs and some random things not found in SG/won't spend money buying in SG
Day 8: To the airport and back to SG.
We took the new airport line which was super convenient since it was at Taipei main station. I slept most of the way. I realised I had booked the wifi device for 7 days only, forgetting that the final day would be included in the cost as well.. So we had to pay $188twd for the 1 extra day of usage //// will be more careful next time haha Spent most of our coins on lunch at the airport food court. Had a final ramen, milk tea and some chicken popcorn and fried food.
Before boarding the plane.. the bf and I launched the game for some final drawing. He used my phone and I used his. I was trying not to pay attention to what kind of cards he drew and he suddenly announced without not much excitement that I got this:
Me: OMG WTH
Amazing. This is the new SSR which was released maybe 1 or 2 weeks ago. I already know the bf has high SSR luck but this is still amazing XDXD
So yeaaa my final gift from tw :DDDD trip ended on a good note. We both spent about half the amount we changed, got to visit all the planned places and eat lots of food. I didn't buy much clothes this time cos they were mainly long sleeved but it's ok~~ It was a fulfilling trip!
