taipei part 1 - arrival

yay! dear dear and me are back from our short 5D4N taipei trip.

this has been a most relaxing trip for us.

as i've been there before, ah long set the pace for this trip.

which means, lotsa good food, naps back at the hotel for a few days of the trip and waking up absolutely late (like 11am!!).

haha. this is indeed a recharging trip as he said. :)

we opted for the noon flight instead of the morning one as we wanted to spend more time with yz.

travelling without him is really a pain.

we missed him so much!

so i've been diligently calling home for his updates 2-3 times a day.

the flight there was thankfully a very smooth one.

i do hate air turbulences so very much!

we touched down at taiyuan airport in 4.5hr time.

me wearing N95 mask.

yes, very 夸张 but better to take precautions.
and its damn hard to breathe throught the mask lor.

hope it really helps to block out nasty viruses.

bus trip from airport to city takes another 1 hr+. @_@

and it started drizzling by the time we boarded the bus. bleh.

luckily, the rain stopped by the time we reached our hotel and we ventured out immediately for our dinner.

our hotel area is at ximending which is bustling with people and activities on a thursday evening!

we had some local 鲁肉饭 which the husband apparantly enjoyed it more than me.

then its dessert time!


immediately whisked ah long to try the 绵绵冰.

so glad that he enjoyed this kiwi/strawberry/mango one. :)

after that, we strolled around XMD area, taking in the vibrant mood.

went back to hotel quite early at 10+pm and spent the night watching tv!

haha, yes i really like taiwan tv with their over 100 channels to surf! :P

no jaywalking unless you wanted to end up like the squashed tomato! hah.
