Taiwan - Taking MRT from Zhongshan Station (中山站) to Shuanglian Station (双连站) in Taiwan

Continue my trip in Taiwan. I have visited Taiwan with my family together with the Hong Tai tour for 7 days 6 nights. I had taken the Railway train as well as the High Speed Rail train too in Taiwan. 

On the last day in Taiwan,  it was free and easy during morning. So, my family and I woke up early in the morning because we planning to take MRT too. Ya, how can we missed out taking the MRT too right? 


In Singapore also got MRT and now come to Taiwan also want to take MRT too, haha, because we wanted to experience taking MRT in Taiwan too.

Well, it was  definitely a good experience to take their local transports and travel around in Taiwan.

Genting Dream Cruise 云顶梦号邮轮 trip (From Sg to Phuket) - Catching Sunset in Cruise

I really love going Cruise. I have been to cruise for holidays 4 times already. Going to cruise is like reminding myself to slow down my life, catch the sunset or sunrise and totally relaxing myself yeah besides just eating in cruise! 

4 Days 3 Nights Cruise trip from Singapore to Phuket. and then back to Singapore again. The cruise will stop at Phuket for 2 days. 

On the 2nd day of my cruise trip, the cruise reached Phuket. 

The sky was so dark on that day but thankfully no raining so I was so glad that I still able to see the sun. This 2 photos below were taken before my dinner one.

Very weak sunglight and very dark sky on the day. 
   





And then after dinner, I went to deck 16 and 17 again.

  This time round, I was surprise to see such beautiful purple colour and with a little bit of orange sky. 

After my dinner the colours of the sky and the sun were so much different before I had my dinner man. So much changes! 


I felt so calm and peaceful when I saw such beautiful colours of the sky. 








Totally Amazed me so much! 
 



The sun shone on the sea made the sea's colour looked orange purple too. So beautiful!  


 Yes, going to cruise can be very relaxing one! 

So don't stay in your own room all the time when go for cruise. There are so many things to be done in cruise one and it never failed to make me happy! 

I will never ever feel bored when in cruise one:D
