Congratulations and celebrations~~~~~~~~ Hehehe. This is the 100th post!!
Day 3 in taipeiWoke up at 8 plus ( I think) and got ready by 9 plus. Went to see whether the breakfast that the hotel serve was the same as what we previously had eaten. Well, it turned out the SAME. Hence, we ventured out of the hotel and ate yong he dou jiang!

We had egg crepes and dou jiang. I think I like the dou jiang cuz it warmed my tummy. Hahaha.

After our breakfast, we went to taipei 101. Hehe, we waited for about 30mins (cuz we were early) for the bus at taipei city hall station. Then, taipei 101 here we come!!!! We bought the tix at student price (NTD 370) and up we went! Our ears were blocked due to the air pressure in the high speed pressurized elevators. Also, it only took 37 secs for us to reach the 89th storey. At the 89th storey, we saw miniature buildings, cars, roads, trees, bridges........ eh, cant see people (too small) lol.

Took pictures with taipei!!!!! lol

With taipei 101's red icon. Did you notice something? YJ and I have similar standing posture...LOL.

Some random pics. YJ taking a building. I am eating the roads. Leen chong squeezing the clouds. Ty hiding at some corner, luffing at us. LOL. Ty says, the golden beehive-look-alike is her.. lol. Thus, YJ is holding Ty's hand!

Then! we climbed up to the outdoor observatory area of about 388m (91 storey), with strong wind blowing us away!!!

LOOK AT OUR HAIR. OMG! LOl. Ty almost got blown away and its really hard to walk. LOL. Luckily none of us wore skirt, otherwise we would be like marilyn monroe and giving free show to the security.


We walked one round and ran indoors again. Hhahha. We went into the virtual world, stepping on clouds and buildings.


Then back to real life. We saw the Taipei101's wind damper and also one of the superstar contestants (Leon) talking to himself. Cuz its in the dark,so we thot there is some crazy guy! But he is actually taking video.... lol. If i remb correctly, ty commented,' he's quite cute'.LOL. Aniwayz, the wind damper is the world's largest and heaviest wind damper! LOL.

We took the lift to get down. There was a lift lady that operate the lift . The lift's ceiling is beautiful, with ever-changing effect.

The end of the taipei101 trip!

Then we saw the statue of liberty! OMG! where are we exactly? Taipei or New York????

Off to lunch at Macaroni Grill!Yum yum! Nice food.

HEHE. Yj eat dao tou pang fa guang!

Then we went Shin Kong Dept Stores to shop where Ty got her eyeliners..... Up next! Its the long awaited wu fen pu! BUT it really disappoint us. There were too many clothes in each stores which create a messy feel. We felt very lost there. BOO HOO. SO sad!

Then we found our way to RaoHe Night Market. Unlike the Shilin Night Market, Raohe Night Market is only one street long.....

We had pork ribs herbal soup(practically bones and soup) ,ru rou fan(more of fats and rice) and hu jiao bing ( fried meat bao) for dinner. Probably the not-nice-food and the walking at the not-so-nice wu fen pu dampen our mood. Probably being elbowed by a secondary sch boy at my back caused my mood to get even worse. The saviours of the day that livened our moods were the mango ice(lotsa mangoes!), pudding bean curd (smooth smooth) and the talk about the frogs we saw on the plane. The frogs caused us luff... REAL HARD. LOL.

Took a cab back to XMD early tt day as there weren't many things in Raohe night market. Shopped at XMD. Ate 85 deg cafe and finally drank the 50 lan bubble tea!

But we ordered the wrong pearls........... LOL. Slept feeling bloated *BURP*. lol.
