Finally i am back from Taiwan !
Rushed to Airport on that day and did not have any time to get my last post done.
Too much things happen the day before when i am leaving Singapore.
My careless baby actually lost his passport and could not find it for the whole night.
I cried when i knew about it, i don't blame him but because i am upset that i had planned everything but its an end to it.
Most importantly is the money that we had paid for this trip will be gone or probably topped up to postpone the trip.
On the day of departure, we spammed calls to the Lost & Claim police station in the morning.
Fortunately, at the very last moment when both of us is going to give up, the officer picked up and we checked about the passport.
And unexpectedly miracle happen ! Just at this very last moment.
We quickly rushed to prepare and took his passport and then our luggage to airport.
Both of us rushed like hell but we didn't realize there is still quite some time before our last check in time.
My flight departure was at 345pm so we went to have our lunch and spent the rest of the time in the airport waiting for boarding. Roughly waited about 3hours plus. :X
Time to check in !
Baby's favourite Banana Chocolate cake @ Secret Recipe.
2 more months and will be 1 year together with baby ! :D
Love him !
Waiting for boarding plane...
Finally is time to board the plane and to say bye to Singapore !
Get to see sunset while on the plane ! :D
When i reached Taiwan, it was about 9pm already !
Yes, is really late ! But no choice there is only one timing for me to choose.
We came out from the hotel and took GuoGuang bus to Taipei Main Station which took roughly 50mins.
And then we cabbed to our hotel at Ximending, City Inn Plus Hotel ! :D
Singapore's airport still the best !
TaoYuan international airport terminal 1 seems quite empty and it don't look as clean as SG.
Anyway they are doing renovation though.
Remember to take GuoGuang bus when you want to go Taipei from Taoyuan airport.
Is cheaper compared taking taxi ! Taxi will cost you almost NTD 1300 but the bus only cost you NTD 125 for each person.
To buy the bus ticket, when you come out from the airport remember to turn left. :DAnyway if you want to get a sim card, you can turn right when you come out from airport.
The sim card cost about NTD 600+ which include some outgoing oversea calls and unlimited data usage ! It will be either 5days or 3days.
Tell the person about this so that they can help you set the unlimited data ! Is great when you can use your internet at oversea !
Although our hotel is not those high class one but still i love the hotel because of their services and cleanliness !
And most importantly, the hotel must be at least mainly white background so that it look clean and bright.
The hotel location is also easy to travel around as XiMenDing is just nearby !! Within 5 to 10mins walk. I will definitely stay at this hotel again if i am going Taipei, or probably staying at Just Sleep Hotel. :D
CITY INN PLUS HOTEL !
Check out their hotel at www.cityinn.com.tw .
Each night cost about SGD $120 and i booked through hotel agency, HotelClub.
My room decoration. Is quite small but their cleanliness met the standard i want. :D
So we checked in to our hotel and quickly left our luggage in the room.
Then off to Ximending for 2hours of shopping before 12am reach when almost all the shops will be closed.
When we were shopping at there around 10pm, there were still many people and of course many street food and street stalls selling clothes and bags.
I got some clothes, shoes, bags and not forget to try out their street food ! :D
Their street stalls is always pushing here and there !
All because there are police there who chase them or give them fine.
So don't be blur if you saw many stalls pushing here and there @ Ximending.
Baby and I was like laughing, cause the police is just behind and they actually saw them but if they push their cart away, most likely nothing will happen to them.
Can you see those street stalls. They shift about when police come..
This is the must to try ! It taste like Roti Prata but is make with onion...
I love this stall compared to the one i tried at Taipei Main Station.
Of course i ordered my favorite cheese egg ! Yummy Yummy.
This look quite special when i first saw it, so i get one set to try it.
But the outer layer is kind of disappointed because not much taste.
Is a bit like muah chee but more QQ and inner part is different flavor of paste.
When most of the shops were closed, both of us went back to our hotel at last for our sleep !
Is tiring after almost 5hours of flight plus the day before i didn't sleep well !!
My eyes were slightly swollen in the morning too. :(
Luckily I am still able to go Taiwan at last. :D
The stuffs i bought within two hours. :X
Day 2 will be update soon......................................................................................................

Hi! At your recent post, The Sophisca Candy & Gift shop, is at ximending? :) Thanks!
Hi, yeas is at XiMenDing. If you afraid you can't find the place, maybe you can get the Taipei guide book that i introduce in my blog. Is really useful. :)
nice blog. How did u get to cityinn plus from the airport?
Thanks. You could board GuoGuang bus from the airport which will bring you to Taipei Main Station. If your luggage are heavy, just board a taxi there which won't cost much. Or you could take the train to ximending station and get out from exit 3. City inn plus will be opposite.
