Good morning peeps~

So, today we're getting ready to go Pingxi for the sky lantern~ I don't really know what's the activity called thou :x

Boyfie is being cheeky in the morning~ hahaha!! He keeps showing me his "talent" which he found out yesterday..cos I can't stop laughing at how he does his eyes..hahaa!!

Waiting for the metro to take the train~ So excited because this is my very first time on a train. :D

Waiting for the train~ we reached the train station for transfer around 1pm plus but the next train that we're taking only arrive at 4.46pm T-T

Finally the train arrives~ we're like already feeling half tired because of the waiting but! Excitement is still there! Haha~ boyfie is doing that eye thingy again~ hahaha!!

Train tracks~

Finally we reached Pingxi!!! Actually we should alight 1 stop before. As there're more people there and also more shops to walk around but I came about Pingxi on the Internet. I'm headstrong so I insist sticking on to Pingxi. Heh~ :x

When we arrived at Pingxi, it was kinda different from what I expected thou >_< heh..it's more quiet then the stop that we should alight. :/ & the time is 6.45pm..Nonetheless, We quickly find a shop & start to put our sky lantern. Cos it's getting darker as well. We don't wanna miss our train back to Taipei >_<

We start to choose our colour lantern & doodle stuff on it ;D it was so fun~ hees..

We chose pink, white, yellow & red for our lantern. Pink ;love, white; health, red; happiness & yellow; wealth/career. & 1 lantern cost NTD$200/SGD$8 for 4 colours! Very cheap! :)

Getting ready to fly our sky lantern~

Yay~fly!!! Let's us be happy always!! Hees..

A photo at the train track~ heees~

After flying our sky lantern & since we can't make it for the 7.05pm train. Of course we went to grab some little bites before heading to Shilin Night Market for our dinner. Haha!! Yes, basically we get our dinner at Shilin every single day..heh.

We went down an alley to explore. & came about this shop that sells fried chicken & sausages. So we buy some food to fill our tummy~

slope along side with shophouses~

Getting our food prepared especially by the lady boss~ she's been opening this stall for 20 years already..wow! & she's super friendly :') Taiwanese people are super super friendly! Haha

Our fried chicken..I swear it's super huge! & it's tasty~ yums!

Finally on the train to badu!!

& we're off to Taipei!! Yay!! We took the wrong train~ heh..but luckily, it's going to the same direction so it's fine :) hahaha!!

So, we finally alighted at Taipei main station & took the metro to Shilin Night Market to buy our dinner~ haha!

Taipei episode 4 - Shuang Lian/Mr J/Taipei 101/Ximending/Shilin NightMarket

Good morning!

Today we woke up early as we're checking out from Reedon Hotel & check into Via Hotel at Shuanglian. So is like 4 stops before where we used to stay. Lol~

Selfie before we leave Reedon Hotel~

Initially the hotel that I booked before is located at Ximending but due some renovation is going on, we have to move to the other outlet which is at Shuanglian station. It's kinda deserted as the hotel is not a building by itself but it's something like a shared apartment. It is located at the 2nd and that's where the hotel is. -_- Not really happy at first because I booked that hotel is because of the location and the convenience. But this is a shared apartment which makes me feel not so safe because you don't know who or what kind of people is living above you.

However, when I stepped into the "lobby" the hotel looked more like a hostel which made me more sad. But but! I don't mind because the people in Taiwan is super friendly! :D The hotel is abit cramped & small. They knew that it's still "under construction" as they told us that this outlet is new. So due to that, they have a mini candy bar area for us to sit & the snacks & drinks there are free!! How nice!

Candy bar area~

Free drinks!! :)

Our room key!

Room number 210! :D

Inside our room! Kinda small but the bed~ comfy!! Haha~ one of the reason I love hotels cos of the bed..haha!!

Super amazed by the wall plugs cos the bathroom has a PLUG! meaning i can use the toilet at the same time charging my iphone. hahhaha!!

After settling our stuff, time to head out to celebrate our monthsary~ hees..

I'm the one who planned our itinerary for this trip. So, we're going to Mr Jay for our monthsary lunch! Wanted it to be a dinner thou but we still prefer food from Shilin Night Market as our dinner~ haha! ^-^

We took the metro as usual to Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hall. Then cabbed to Mr Jay restaurant. It's located in Taipei Medical University & it's very easy to find as it is right at the campus :)

I didn't take much photo thou~ >_< *sorry*

The restaurant is in "secret" themed.

That large vintage piano from the movie..

Making funny faces while waiting for our food to be served. ^-^

I ordered a spaghetti lobster set which comes with garlic bread, daily soup (mushroom soup), salad, dessert & choice of a drink. Whole set only cost NTD$490 (SGD$21.40). Super cheap right! Omggg!! & I had spaghetti lobster. It's a lobster! Not prawn!! Ok ok~ lol I'm getting too excited cos I've never had "good" food in singapore cos it's very expensive. :/

Then, boyfriend ordered scallop spaghetti with spicy XO sauce set. So the set is the same. & total we spend less than a hundred on such nice food :D
