Taipei 2010 day 1-Part 1-Flying off/Touching down

Our flight is scheduled at 7.20 am in the morning n as usual, we went to the airport the night b4, to wake there for till its time to check in..many may say y are we saving on the 50bucks taxi fare, my bro even offered to drive us there early in the mornin..but we tink tat there is seriously nothing wrong of doing this..after all, there is onli the 2 of us, nt as if i am hafin kids in tow, n moreover, the 2 of us are young, we can afford to juz stay 1 day overnight at the airport, although not able to slp well, but still we are able to take it, n we get to slp on the plane for 4 hrs while flying there..so yesh, we went ahead of our plan to stay over night at the airport...
Drinking ice blended mango at 2am...shiok...

We took turns to slp at the airport with hubs slping more n me doing the last min research for our taipei trip n finalising the details..at 4am, we went to burger king for their breakie and to check whether our flight has been confirmed..After checking in, we went to the gate there n continue to slp till its boarding time...needless to say, we slp all the way frm SG to Taipei...

It was super hot when we touched down in Taipei, and their airport, to be frank was not tt fantastic..in fact, it looked a bit run down..in fact, BKK airport looks way nicer than theirs..

As we did not book any airport trf, we went in search of the buses which we can take into town, there will bascially quite a few choices, but hubs say to take "fei gou"（飞狗） cuz i tink its recommended by his colleagues..we brought the 2 way tix in the end..

While waiting for the bus to come, we cam whore..heheh

Inside the bus...

The bus was suppose to take us to town and at certain hotels, they do provide drop off..but they left out 1 detail, that is for certain hotel, they would require us to change to another bus, which is wat we did..they juz suddenly announced that for guests stayin certain hotel to get down n wait for our trf...we felt abit cheated can, cuz under the hot sun, we gotta move our luggage here n there...damn..n the 2nd bus tt we transferred to was abit cui...

Inside the 2nd bus...

Anyway, after 20mins later, we were told to get down at wat they claim is Xi Men Ding（西门盯）, n we cannot even see our hotel lo..damn, plus hubs says he has neber been to this part of Xi Men Ding b4 so he dunno how to navigate to our hotel..*faintzzzz*

In the end, we juz randomly asked some1 on the streets who told us to walk straight..Our hotel is right in the smack of XiMending lo..location is not bad to be frank, but the hotel was abit disappointing...It was not clean lo, as I can see stains on the table and in the toilet's mirror..The base of the bed is clean either,the cupboard, was pathetic..whahaha n Becuz i booked a deluxe room due to the fact that the superior rms are full, i haf a higher expectation of the rm. the size is still okie, but i cannot imagine the superior rm..


Our room with the King Size bed..

We settle into the room, changed out of the shoes and got ready to go out for lunch as it is ard 1pm oredi and i am straving...Hubs said he wanna eat Ah Zhong Mee Sua（阿宗面线） and he vaugely remember that there is an outlet here in Ximending, n we set off to search for the outlet.It didnt took us too long to find the shop n we took our 1st meal in Taipei - Ah Zhong Mee Sua..To be frank, i dun realli like it, yesh, the mee sua was nicer but the fact that they cook with pig's organs puts me off..

After lunch, we walked a few stops down b4 stoppin our tracks again, hehe i saw fried chickie!! whhaha Hubs n mine fav!!yeah..we brought 1 fried chickie and while waiting, i saw fried squid too..hehe so add tat to my order..whhaha..

Went ard Ximending while eating the food n brought a cup of bubble tea, tt's the onli 2 cups i drank in Taipei n it wasnt those milk tea kind, i think i brought Rose Red Tea..heheh..

We proceed to take the sub way to Taipei station to change to TRA as we r goin to Jiu Fen..
