我回來了！
新加坡這幾天算涼的。。可是我還是覺得很熱。
應該是忽冷忽熱。哈~因爲病倒了。發高燒。好難受哦~

這次的台灣行去了很多以前沒去過的地方，也去了很多我熟悉的地方。
不過，我還是有種人和事物都改變了的感覺。
不知道下一次去台灣是什麽時候。不過，很開心這囘跨年跨得成功，看到了101的告別煙火秀。

Day 1
Our flight took off earlier than scheduled... it was a full flight... perhaps everyone was punctual and boarded early... reached taipei at about 115pm.. the weather was quite hot... hotter than expected... about 22 deg..
took the airport shuttle to our hotel... this is my first time taking airport shuttle.. i used to cab to hotel or 叔叔 will come pick us up if he's free...
we met 叔叔 at e hotel and after checking in n dumping our stuff in our rooms, 叔叔 gave us a lift to 西門町 cos we were famished! first stop we bot a big packet of 香香雞。NT100 不錯吃。but would be better without e bones ha... passed by mister donut n bot a honey green tea 波提to try cos promised to help winnie try c if its nice... i found it toooooooo sweet leh...
then shared a bowl of our all-time fav 阿宗面缐.. ha but 感覺不是很對，cos taipei is quite hot leh... if only e weather was colder... ha...

after filling our stomachs partially we went to my all-time fav store, NET cos cz needs a thick winter jacket... thou taipei was qt hot on day 1... 寒流 wld attack taiwan from e nxt day onwards.. n wads more we will b gg up the mountains the next few days..

bot single journey chips to take e 捷運 back hotel cos we r meeting the rest of the travel khakis, ie the MAs and auntie tiffany n family b4 setting off for welcome/farewell dinner wif 叔叔、阿姨 and family and 吳叔叔。

these chips r cute.. they used to use our ex-transitlink farecards.. dunno y they change to these chips...

dinner was at 海真私房菜 .. a very homely feel... as usual there were a lot a lot of dishes... many of which i forgot their names liao... haha...

halfway thru dinner 叔叔 took out a bottle of 高粱 n i noe its e start of our nightmare hahaha.... taiwanese love to drink while eating... booo n for those who dunno 高粱 has 58% alcohol content, higher than ur whatever beer or jolly shandy or vodka... n they dun add any mixer...
look! i turned red liao... n i lost count of e number of shots i drank... haiz... luckily i still remained quite sober ha... 我的酒量是叔叔們訓練出來的。 i think 女孩子應該會喝酒保護自己。haha~
