LasT PosT On TaiPei'08

day 5 we changed hotel from royal castle to lilai.. the room is big, but a little old and definitely not as classy as royal castle. the reception's kidda run-down too. but given the price we paid, i think we cannot complain too much ba. anyway, the locations for both accomodations were not as good as wad i read on the websites.. both require some walking.. lilai comes with breakfast though..

*

*toast with drink for our 6th morning*

*sandwich with drink for our 7th and last morning in taipei*

our 6th day was to jioufen and night time was to beitou. think only took 1 pic in jioufen.. too busy looking for gifts and stuff..... ~

*

long bus journey to jioufen. think comparable to the time we took to wu lai ~~

*
7th day was the last day.. one of the last few things we ate in taipei.. the "lor bak rice".. hubb's all-time favorite.. i wondered how many bowls he ate all the time he was there... and it's really cheap too! think nt30 or something like tt.. yum!

*

mac was not eaten on the last day though.. eaten on one of the last few nights.. cant remb which nite liao. hehe. ~ this one is kiddy meal.. comes with a cute little xiao wan zi's toy ~ gd momento!

last day we juz roamed around in xmd.. went to this restuarant that also sells plush toys in all sizes (and prices, of cuz)! the seats are actually swings. real cool ~

*

*

there was also this toilet theme restuarant tt we came across. i wanted to go try de, but tt boy tot it's kidda disgusting.. arrgh! i regretted so much for not insisting to go in!!! i hate tt boy!!

*

*waiting for the bus to come fetch us to airport*

*

back abt 10pm+.. and i spent like >1hr in the DFS shops.. heh~

*

when we were finally ready to collect the luggages.. the screen on the belt was already showing another flight.. and the luggages for our flight were already moved to elsewhere.

*

great effort in picking our stuff.. and then.... we realised hubb's luggage was not there at all! i was soo worried! he was already unhappy tt i spent so long in the shops when he kept reminding me tt our luggages were still lying around. if his luggage was wrongly collected by someone else cuz we werent there to collect them ourselves, he'll surely blame me!!!

*

but lucky, after clarifications with the officers there, it was confirmed that his luggage was not taken by someone else. rather, his luggage was wrongly sent to HK instead! wad luck for his luggage! get to travel to HK lehh! wahhah

*

okay, i don know y such a mistake occured, but i believe it's kidda common. given the number of flights coming in and going out, the tight schedules, the dozens and dozens of similar looking luggages.. it's not suprising tt things get wrongly delivered. i juz wonder y were we the 'lucky' ones.. lol ~

*

i was juz glad we were coming home and not travelling out or waiting for some transit or likes. the incident did not affect us much. and lucky there were no valuables or perishables in the luggage. anyway, the luggage was delivered to his house the nxt day. yepp..

*

o, and we proceeded to eat BK after the issue with his luggage was clarified b4 catching cabby home.

*

think this is one of the best trips we had.. did we quarrel?? yes, we did.. but not tt bad i supposed. and the weather was v cool and comfy... something really rare in singapore.

*

i really really miss those days...

*

and the urge to travel...... it's coming back again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
