Last post before we head back.

3 more hours and we’ll be heading to the airport (try to make it a point to be there at least 2.5 hours before the flight… I’ve had enough sub 20 mins check ins already.). Looking back, this trip is pretty boring, but then, a light dosage of boredom can relax the body and mind.

 

Yesterday, we climbed (yes, that’s what they say… the elevator climbs…) Taipei 101. The view is like any other viewing platforms. It’s boring, but it’s addictive. It’s the like the Hard Rock Cafe shot glass symptom, once you start collecting, it’s not going to stop. Same for these viewing platforms, once you’ve been to one, you’ll want to see every city you visit in one of these. So far, here’s the list I’ve “conquered”,

 

1) NYC

2) Auckland (Sky Tower)

3) Sydney (AMP Tower)

4) LA

5) Singapore

6) Taipei

7) Guilin, China

8) Beijing, China

 

Ok… lunch first… it’s super duper cold out there… must be sub-10 deg…

 






… *yawns*…

Another boring day of shopping. It’s the same old routine, shopping, eating, night markets… I just wished I didn’t travel thousands of miles for this. Not 7 days in a row. Anyway, Star Movies is showing “Castaway”, looks more interesting.

 






Another holiday

Enough of eye candies, enough of good food. I just wanna go home, do my laundry, pack my room, make my bed, go wakeboarding and drink new-water. Taipei’s nice, like hotspring baths. But like hotsprings, you can’t stay in it for too long. Today the temperature dipped, possibly due to the rain last night. It was gloomy for the entire day, just like Germany in winter. Nice. But the thought of going home kept bugging me. I think I need another holiday. Erm, Singapore?






Just another day in Taipei

Way of life in Danshui

While waiting for the rest of the guys to wake up (I suppose), I decided to do up another image.

Danshui

The nice thing about being on this trip is… we all don’t wake up till 11-ish:) So yesterday, we only headed out for Danshui around 2plus. By the time we reached Danshui, the late afternoon sunlight has already painted the entire town in shades of gold, unlike the usually bluish hue we see in Taipei City. It felt like it was 8am in the morning.

 

Here’s a shot taken while waiting for the sunset (which was ooooooooooooookie, not too bad).

Comes in different shapes and sizes

…and you guess, what’s this?:) One of the most common objects in Taipei.
