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?

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

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).

Yesterday, we roamed the streets of Taipei like… erm, tourists:) Visited the famous Shi Lin night market and tried the insanely hot chilli noodles. While Ead and Ron chose the REALLY mild ones, I decided to go for the 2nd hottest on the list. The owner immediately ask if we’re from Singapore. True enough, the noodles burned both my tongue and stomach. I had a hard time going to sleep that night. It’s pretty close to level 5 buffalo wings at Sunset Grill (Singapore) or maybe more.
I bought my first BoA CD:) It’s a little cheaper here I think, about 15SGD. Then today I got 2 Elva CDs:) Yum yum!!
Here’s a shot of the fellas at the… “can’t seem to grab anything for 80NT” shop.
We are all well and fine in Taipei. Weather’s good. Food’s good. The view is… *feeeeeeel wheet*. Something I learned here, smoking can be good (the only advantage I found). It’s a good way to start a conversation… “can borrow light?”… “oh… you don’t sound local, where are you from?”… Too bad, I don’t smoke.
And thanks for Ead, I found a BoA pictorial. Cost me like 60+ SGD. Money well spent, very well spent!:) Before that, we had some good BBQ buffet at Bistro 98.
And now, me and Ead are stuck in the hotel room… because we realized we could tap some internet connection off “don’t know where”. Damn… it’s almost 8pm. Time to wake Ron up and grab some dinner.
