On Christmas eve , I jet off to Taiwan with my family & I was really excited since I never been to Taiwan before that :D
I was in Taiwan for a week & here's a summary of my trip :)
- Airplane food FTW xD . Somemore on my flight going to Taiwan & coming back , I was served Häagen-Dazs ice cream onboard the plane *__*
My dad chose not to eat airplane food which's such a pity , he doesn't know what he's missing out on :x
- Managed to utilise my mother tongue to good use (or so I think xD) . I don't speak Chinese as often as I wish I could but at least my Chinese is not going to be rusty anytime now !
- Love Taiwan's weather as compared to crappy S'pore where's downright terribly humid , Taiwan's weather is so cooling , just like Macau *__*
- Love the food a great deal , I never had so much beef noodles & bubble tea in my life til I went there xD & yes now I understand why Koi forever has long queues in Clementi because 50嵐 serves really good bubble tea :)
Somemore Taiwanese are very generous when comes to food portions too :O
- Taiwan's 7-11 convenience stores are really amazing . Now I understand why my younger sister said the convenience stores here cannot make it big time because wow , for Taiwan's case , they modelled after the Japanese which's great :D
- Wasn't used to standing on the right side of the escalators cos in here , I stand on the left & oh yeah , Taiwanese drive on the left too :O
- Taiwanese are very polite & friendly . Even when comes to queuing up for the MRT , they would stand in line which I don't see this taking place here in any single bit .
Let alone seats that're designated as priority seats , able people will not take them which I'm amazed . Heck , someone even asked me to give up a priority seat to an elderly on my way back to the hotel from Danshui too
- Taiwan seems to love their Starbucks a lot cos I never see any Coffee Bean stores when I was there :O
- I will miss the easy accessibility of buying jpop stuff in CD shops ._. . I literally went to the CD shops every day during the 1 week when I was in Taiwan . Somemore , Taiwan press's so reasonably affordable as compared to Japan press
Now I have to adjust back in buying my jpop stuff online sigh T_T
- Shopping is not my best friend :x I shop like a guy unlike my sisters that can spend hours buying stuff & this's something I cannot & probably will not get it haha
- I finally managed to meet
kaedes &
energy20228 face to face ! , in fact I met both of them the day before I left the country :)
That almost didn't materialise since everyday in the free & easy agenda , I was always doing different things with my family but I was so glad I was able to meet both of them ^__^ as there's no telling if I'm able to do that in the future somemore
In fact I was surprised when they said I speak Chinese well xD , considering at home , I seldom speak my mother tongue so I take that as a compliment xD
With that said , I gladly go back to Taiwan again in the near future :) Aside from somewhat over-walking a bit too much , other than that , it has been a fun & great trip :D
