Hey I'm backk! Taiwan is a nice place! The oceans, the mountains, the padi fields.. So nice! Too bad the time I had there was so little. I have yet to explore so many places there.

And by the way, Taiwan guys are better looking than those in Singapore (don't kill me!, personal opinion)! When you are walking down their night markets right, you just throw a stone in any direction and you'll hit someone who's above 1.8m!! I don't mind migrating there lah.

I would like to go Taiwan again if there's a chance.

Below are the photos. Lots of them.

Photojournalism:

Day 1

These two guys gave me a surprise by waking up at around 6am in the morning just to see me off at the airport. Damn touched ok. Thank you dearies!! =D
Now compare these two photos. This one was taken in October 2005. Our poses are almost the same, somehow. Haha.
Lay Ning and I at Hong Kong International Airport (transition).
The famous Lovers' Bridge (Qing Ren Qiao) at Dan Shui.
On one side of the bridge.
The top of the bridge.
Me and the lovely place.
On the other side of the bridge.
Dan Shui night market.
Shi Lin night market. They have all sorts of bubble tea. The Ji Pa ( fried chicken breast) is superb ok? It's a must-eat!

Day 2

Weijia and Lay Ning. Early in the moring, at the hotel room's balcony.
At some mountainous area.
Nature and I.
TaDa!!! This is the Pacific Ocean!!! Nice right!?!? The photo looks dirty because it was shot through the coach's window, which was extremely dirty. -_-"
Me! In the coach.
Got lobster for lunch lah!
Some performance put up by the natives of the place.

Day 3

This is at Parkview Hotel. I had my breakfast here, and outside the window you can see mountains and flowers. No wonder it's called 'Parkview' Hotel.
Flowers!
The 3 of us!
Padi fields. Farmers in Taiwan do not use chemical fertilisers during plantation. They plant this type of plant with yellow flowers, called you2 cai4 hua1, in the ground first. When the time is right, they will use machine to grind these flowers into the ground, which will serve as natural fertilisers for the padi fields.
The 3 of us on 85 Building, in KaoShiung.
The Love River.
Romantic heh.
Takopachi balls! So much cheaper than Singapore's lah! You spend less than SGD$1.50 and you can get 6 of them. Taste not bad by the way.

Day 4

Me, outside this very special and unique restuarant.
Look at their cups and bowls! So stone age man.
Yummy!
Are you drooling already?
I was praying in front of Confusious, hoping that I won't flop my 'A' levels too badly =X
Flying! eh. Very hazy, I know.
It was so hazy that we saw nothing at the Sun Moon Lake. Just look at how hazy it is behind the 3 of us!

Day 5

The Tofu street. Stinky tofu!
At Yang Ming Shan National Park.
BleaH!
Coast!
Potholes. Feel like attending a geography field trip leh!
Up on Yang Ming Shan.

Day 6

Zhong Zheng memorial.
Army man! But not very handsome leh..
Heros who scarificed themselves to protect their homeland.

=D
Lay Ning and I. Wahahaha army man!
Outside the museum.

The scenary is nice lah.
Jiang Jie Shi's memorial.
=D
Bow..
I love this kind of flowers!! A type of daisy that is.
Look at types of alcoholic drinks I found in my hotel room. There are more inside the refrigerator. Taipei 101 building! It's just outside my hotel room's window!
Sun Yat Seng. Salute.
Taipei 101 building at night.
The fountain outside the building. Impressive.
Glancing at the whole of Taipei on top of the 101 building.
Another view.
I was there! =D

Goodbye, Taiwan.
Hida was gazing at the sky at 15:43.
