today we took the high speed rail in taipei, it is a copy of the japan shinkansen train. very smooth and fast! it travels at around 250-290km/h but its top speed is 300km/h.
Had a great day today, our last night in taipei, i want to go back home!! Will update again when im back in singapore.
THE END:9:46 AM
Today we are on our own, we took the taipei MRT to a scenic area. Nothing much there but we were on our own timing so no rush at all. taipei MRT very similar to singapore MRT except for the many different lines. so its kinda shame to be lost in singapore.
we ate tou hua at the shi ling ye shi, very different from our singapore ones. and we took MRT back to Xi Men station, our hotel is right in the middle of the xi men ting. seeya..

Today im in Kaohshiung, the weather here is warmer compared to taipei and taidong. So yea i was wearing double and i took off a layer. today's tour was abit boring, we visited some 'shops' again and we were 'encouraged' to buy their products. mostly health products, and they claim their pills work like immortality pill. i think we should be brought to MORE sight seeing places rather then visiting some norm places.
Above: Chinese garden lookalike=.=
I shall not go on and on, tmr gonna be a long day again. morning call at 6am, breakfast at 6.30m, setting off at 7.20am sharp to catch train. So yea gonna sleep early, thats all for now, seeya!

Anyway i met Celia at today's hotel! one of my schmates. so cool la, met her on the same trip but different tour. i met her at changi airport, then she told me she was heading for taiwan. what a conicidence! then i met her the second time at 'jiu fen'. well well, she look good in her winter clothes. I actually got more photos to put up but blogger is just too slow, i spent like a few minutes on every pics i put up. I promise to post all the photos once im back in singapore:)
