Back from Taipei

Touched down this evening at 11pm from Taipei. It was a great moment for all of us over the last few days. We din sleep a lot during the whole trip as we wanted to cover as many part of Taipei as possible. Personally, i feel some places are far from my expectation.

There were indeed tons of good food. However, on the last day, i got sick of the food, exactly the same feeling i had when i was in HK. I find their food salty, meaty and oily. Some were even unhealthy. Price was not cheap either, almost similar to the price in Singapore. There were lots of bubble tea outlets too.

Pple in Ximending are very trendy. Their fashion is more "happening" than Singapore. Girls dressed up to the occasion, with nice makeup, boots, pretty skirts. For guys, it will be a trendy jacket with a nice singlet or tshirt. Lovely. I remembered when i was in one of the clubs, the pple recognised me as Singaporean. Yes, by the way i dressed. Damn....

Weather is pretty cool. I can still walk ard without a jacket despite the weather reaching as low as 18 degree. I was wondering if there is something wrong with the thermometer. Cant match the cold i experienced in UK. It was really cold during that time. However, coming from a tropical country, i should feel pretty cold by the temperature in Taipei. Strange.

Anyway, the cool weather made my day. When i stepped out of Changi Airport, i was like, hey, its back to the hot and humid climate again. Haiz. Besides the lower temperature in Taipei, it was drizzling throughout the day. Sometimes, it spoilt our mood. The rain is not heavy. It belongs to those that drizzle and wont end for the whole day. Aiyoh...

It is pretty late now. Need to catch some good sleep. Wanted to take a good rest while flying with jetstar but it was too noisy. The 4hr plus ride on budget airline was not fun at all. I told Gavin, if there was ever a long haul flight, we should pay a bit more for a slightly better flight. We should be at least entitled to some basic comfort. Well, will update more on the trip again.
