Tai Wan Part 1, super super.. SUPER OVER DUE POST!

If you follow me on twitter(and you should if you haven't), you should know that I went to Taiwan for 12 days with my mother! We planned to walk around free and easy for the whole 12 days but mum found a super good deal for the both of us from DEAL! The website functions similarly to Groupon and many other discount and fabulous website but I guess this is website features more deals for traveling locally or overseas. So if you're planning to go anywhere, do check out some of the great deals that they offer there! So mum found this deal where we could go on a land tour for 6 days, but what's even better is whole six days cost us $388 in total. What's even more awesome is that the breakfast, transport, hotel is totally included, so you won't have to bear any other additional fees! I've also spoken with some of the other Singaporeans where I've met in TW, from what I've heard many of you actually fly to Tai Wan then book 1 day tour for over $150 PER DAY. That's crazy expensive when comparing with the ones that I got from deal okay! So moving on to our trip!

To prep myself for the flight, I brought "Dear John" for myself to read in case I cannot fall asleep even though my flight is at 8am and I had to wake up at 5.15am plus I slept at 3am the night before. I kiasu(afraid of losing) cannot is it?!

And a tip for you, if you plan on reading or watching a movie on flight, DON'T EVER CHOOSE MOVIES OR BOOKS ABOUT LOVE OR ANYTHING THAT YOU ARE UNSURE IF IT WILL MAKE YOU CRY OR NOT. CAUSE IT WILL!

Yes by that you should know that I fucking cried during my flight and I had to pretend that I'm just having runny nose(i gave up and weeped in the end). FML. Dear John was a great great read though! You should read it, but never during silent reading(cause you will cry) but if you're that type that does not cry then it's okay. Maybe you can read it then quickly put it away and cry in front of your crush to trick him into comforting you(wtf I sound so pro at this).

Day 1 was free and easy! So after the tour people transported us to our hotel, we are left to roam around on our own. Since our hotel was located right smack in the middle of Taipei, mum and I decided to go to XI MEN DING for a walk! I also heard that it's like a "shopping heaven" for people around my age. But to my disappointment I didn't buy much cause it's nearing winter and there isn't much summer clothes I could buy to wear back here at home. Hence, I splurged(well kinda) on make up and just a few piece of clothes! Also, both of us walked around for awhile and realized "aye! Haven eaten dinner yet!" cause it's nearing winter and we did not know that the skies would turn dark so quickly, it looked like 9pm when it was really just 5.30pm. Checked our watches and proceeded to laugh at our own stupidity. I also did not take much photos cause it got dark half and hour after we got out of our hotel.



Okay short joke. While on our way to the hotel, the driver told us "I'm driving you to VIP's hotel, it is very convenient and food stalls are just around the corner." then inside my heart I thought "Omg, we are VIPs! That's so cool, never stay in VIP room in hotel before!" Then I sat in the car waiting and wanting to go to my hotel. And this is what greeted me when we reached...... I totally -.-" x10

It is literally "VIP HOTEL" ....................

 Okay stop. MOVE ON!

So the first day was free and easy so mum and I went out for a walk at at Xi Men Ding!

Picture not well taken, but basically it's a big street with lots of good food and nice clothes and it's very easy to get there. Like just come out from MRT station and you're here! The whole white building there is Uniqlo if I'm not wrong. They have HUGE uniqlo stores in Taiwan.

Then while walking we found cute stuff!

 Toy shop, they sell super cute toys from damn random cartoons, i mean. Look at Elmo, Totoro and the random poopy head dude with dripping mucus(which i wanted to buy but mum said it's too ugly to look at).

 

Look at these beautiful blobs of happiness! I think they're the second most photogenic food after Macaroons!

You can consider me cute as well cause I purposely put pink lipstick for you ;) I obviously had a bit too much fun with editing pictures..

Then we went back to my VIP hotel!!
