3rd day we bade goodbye to taipei.
our hotel in taipei xmd. nice new hotel on the 9th floor of a building. the building itself is quite old and the 1st floor are those handphone shops.. i tot it was quite sleazy.. but the hotel room itself compensated for the not-so-good environment. it's new and cosy.. and the staff are friendly. it's one of the best hotels we had for this trip.
we gave the hotel breakfast a miss.. and we breakfast out..
and then the embarkation to taichung. the high speed rail tix from taipei to taichung @ nt$700 (~S$35)
i love the high speed rail cuz it's clean and comfy. initially i worried for my big luggage, but the worry was unduly as the leg space is really big and my luggage posed no problem at all.
but with the high speed rail, dont expect to see any scenery cuz it's running sooo fast. if u have the luxury of time and dont mind the not-so-clean and new cabin, then take the normal rail. it's slower and cheaper. can enjoy the scenery along the way.
after we reached taichung high speed rail station, we gotta take a coach that will bring us to 日月潭 sun moon lake.
coach dropped us at this customer service point... and we called the hotel to pick us up.
at our hotel. we took the deal that included a one night stay with breakfast, lake cruise, cable car and the ticket to 九族文化村.
finally at sun moon lake :)
the famous and majestic 文武庙 is just outside our hotel.
tea leaves eggs.. and tea leaves goose eggs. super huge!!
looks like a sweet potatoe that im holding right?? it's not! it's the goose egg!!
the cruise ride...
our dinner that night. one of the most exp dinner... and.. i've got a feeling that it's this meal that caused my sickness later on....
see? this fish was served like this. the lady told us to wait 10mins before eating. so.. when we ate, we werent even sure if it's totally cooked or not.
and it's full of bones. had a hard time eating it...
the bamboo rice was soggy on one end. it might be the culprit as well....
but well, it probably had nothing to do with the food as according to the doc, it's some virus in the air. anyway, hubb ate what i ate and he's fine.
black tea ice cream..
we spent one nite at sun moon lake. as mentioned, the hotel came with one night stay, breakfast, cruise ride, cable car ride and tics to farmosa. the hotel room is big, but it's quite old. in fact, the whole hotel is quite old. and the staff here werent as friendly. but the location is good and it's value for money. wad else to ask for huh.
