Last day in Taipei and we sleep in a bit late, coming down for breakfast only at 9am, this is a first in our trips since usually I wan wake hubs up latest by 7am. Haha.
Didn't have much plan today except for going to Long Shan Temple to pray. Am still a bit scared to travel there since the senseless killing happens here only 2 days ago.
We checked out at 11am and went to XMD for the famous Ah Zhong Mee Sua that Mr Love is craving so much for. Also arranged to meet Good friend there since her boyfriend and her are going back home today but on an earlier flight.

We didn't eat too much of the mee sua cause I wanna go eat at my favourite finger food stall but to our dismay the shop is closed and another Japanese finger food stall had taken over. Though disappointed but we still order from them since am still hungry.

| Fried chicken outlet |
But the food at this new store is very disappointing. The yaki udon is especially tasteless and not cheap as compare to other street food. There isn't much ingredients in it also.
Fried chicken bites are not nice either, overall it's an disappointing experience.

We then walked around XMD aimlessly, but I managed to buy earrings here again with the left over monies though it is a bit on the expensive side.
Came across a hand phone shop and Mr Love got excited and we spent quite some time inside for Mr Love to explore the phones available in Taiwan. It makes him a happy man.

The plan is to visit Long Shan Temple today but I am still a bit scared since the senseless killing happen when the train start leaving this station, not sure whether there would be any copy cat killers around.

Still, we decide to make our way here and pray. Didn't stay long though.
While walking back to the train station, we saw a street with some food vendors and decide to venture into the street and see what's that to offer.
Guess what, we came across Huaxi Street Night Market. We have not been here though its our 4th time in Taipei. Mostly because I read somewhere that its a night market famous with snake delicacy which is not exactly our idea of food and therefore I usually skipped this night market.

| Huaxi Street Nigh market |
Since it was really early (2-3pm) there wasn't much activity going on in this night market when we took a walk through it. Huaxi Street Night market is actually made up of 2 long sections separated by a traffic junction. We walked through the whole night market, occasionally stopping to check out shops that display their snakes.
There isn't any food here to buy from too. I spotted quite a few shops offering pedicure and manicure services at reasonable prices but I don't think Mr Love would be happy to wait for me to get my nails done.
We went back to the start of the street where we came from but didn't buy any food here too. Actually I made an observation here, it seems that there are women plying on the flesh trade here along the shops adjacent to Huaxi Street Night market. You can see scanty dressed women standing at the entrance of stairways which I supposed leads to their workplace upstairs.
They are careful not to disturb men with groups or in our case partners. I did see 1 of them approaching a single man walking along the passage way.
There was nothing here to see and we decided to explore the night market near our hotel before going to airport.
