Back to the Japan trip! As previous post mentioned about wearing
Japan traditional Yukata experience, and my 1st time sleeping on tatami in the Hell
Valley hotel, my family and I also got to eat the very traditional Japanese set meal dinner together.
Soba with onsen egg, (I love to eat the egg yolk so much), fish,chawanmush, mushroom with pumpkins, some pork plus pickled radish, sauce plus
other side dishes and lastly grapes.
I really like eating Japanese traditional meal as the foods are in small portions so I won't feel so full too especially since me and my sis were going to onsen later.
So after dinner, we went back to our room to rest for like 30-40 minutes and then to 泡温泉。 Haha, I can't take any photos there so no photos of that.
Next morning, breakfast time.
From clock-direction-seafood croquette, sausage, potato,carrot, radish, scramble egg and some veggies
Lastly, the best combination is bread topped with butter & grape sauce & with a green tea.
On that day, we woke up very early in the morning boarded our tour bus to the airport to take the ✈ and fly from Sydney to Melbourne.
Took Jet Star ✈ . It was really a very short flight. I was really so damm tired for waking up so early on that day.
Finally reached Melbourne
Of course right after landed at Melbourne, the tour guide brought us to have meal. Our first meal at Melbourne! Love the pasta so much because it tasted so chessy & creamy!
Flat crust Hawaiian pizza which i don't really like as I still prefer the thick crust pizza from pizza hut!
So back to my Taiwan trip and so right after the 4 hours of flight, we
finally arrived at Taipei. Our first visit was to this shop which
produce those Chinese famous ceramics. For us, we just went in to see
see only.
Handmade vases
Cute design of the little flower pots
So classy to put for food and use them in special occasions such
as buffet or party time
There so many different Chinese surnames.
And lastly
All the bicycles for renting. Good to travel with bike on the street there^^
A few years ago right after my poly, my family and I joined the Hong Tai travel tour to Taiwan for 7 days 6 nights. I am sharing it to my blog now. I find that 7 days were really not enough!!! Next time, I wanted to visit Taiwan again
especially to Aili Shan which did not included in my tour. I felt very happy to stay unconnected for almost a week. It was so damm shiok!
Since we were going with tour so I found that it was quite rushing and tedious for
the trip. I remembered that we had to wake up very early for every mornings like freaking
6:30am, and had to pack up for our luggage too since we had to move the hotels for almost everyday. However, the good thing to travel with a tour is that we got to have a nice local sg tour guide and also a nice and humorous tour-guide from the Taiwan too. So overall, the trip was considered quite awesome!
We were also given such a cute badge to wear it. Take note that behind the badge was the tour guide's contact number in case we got lost.
My dad even went to library to borrow the books.
WELCOME TOTAIWAN :)
Taking China Airline plane to there:)
Was feeling really excited, it was my first time going to Taiwan!!! Of course, I totally could not sleep before the night.
TV entertainment provided for us to watch for any movies, playing games or
listening to music during the 4 hours flight to keep me fully occupied.
Simply enjoyed myself in the airplane:)
I watched their Taiwan local move 'You are the apple of my eye'
好喜欢这部电影但好讨厌故事里的结局啦!
My ratings:★★★★★
So I rated 4 stars instead!
My 1st airplane lunch.
Love airplane lunch^^ Tasted good k especially the bun with butter spread on it!
Me & my sister
Highlights of the tour:
Main Attraction: Visiting to the beautiful Fisherman's Wharf, TamShui
Old street, Chiufen, famous night market:Shilin,Feng Jia, Hsimenting Liu
He Nigh Market. Discovery Center of Taipei, Five Cent Drift House(Tree
House)
Transport:
Well, the good thing to go with a tour is that they provide us a bus for
us. The seats were very comfortable, and I enjoyed my ride. The whole trip
also got included in taking the train to one destination and
another for almost one hour. There was also a free and easy day for us, and we
got to took their taxi, HSR(High speed railway) and their MRT too.
In Taiwan, if you wanted to travel from one place to another place, I
suggest that taking train is a good transport mode, as it is much faster
and damm convenience! Another transport, that their own people like to
use to travel is motorcycle! Buses also available too but not as
popular as motorcycles.
Spot the yellow colour vehicle. Their taxis were all in one type of colour which is 'Yellow'. Can also be called as '小黄' haha:)
Easy to spot a taxi
& public bus
Weather:
During that time I got there, it was spring time, hence, I got to cover
myself with loads of clothings and I looked like a dumpling. haha,lol.
The weather there was seriously nice especially when going there to
'泡温泉'
Expenses and livings:
Their expenses is not really high. Don't need to be scared that can't
find any food to eat, there are loads of food stalls/night markts on the
streets everywhere, and even if you did not have enough money or don't
want to buy for food, you will not be starved too. Their people there
are very friendly & polite, they will give you free samples to eat.
Even if you don't feel like buying it, it will also be fine too without
buying anything. Their food/snacks are all nice and cheap!!! Can't get
enough of their food there!!!
Accommodation:
We got to stay in 6 different hotels, and all the hotels rooms that there we had stayed are so comfortable and spacious! However, it was plain tiring to pack our luggage for every nights.
Culture
Well, I found themost of the Taiwan people are really friendly and nice!
Love eating durians? Haha,okay I really love eating durians since young. Just recently, my mum and I were at Chinatown. We shopped halfway and see this 'Four Season Durian Cafe'! Is my first time going to the cafe rather than the Four Season shop in the malls.
This cafe sells fresh MaoShanWang Durians 猫山王榴莲.
I ordered the durian pancake which filled with delicious fresh durian and whipped cream. As the durian is already quite creamy so with the whipped cream I feel like more creamy. Haha.
I love the small durian ice-cream puff.
The staffs in the cafe are all nice and polite. I received this free durian ice-cream from one of the staff too. Thank you so much for the staffs in the cafe.
Ya, brought a packet of durian too. Is vacuum packed durian so the smell won't come out and you bring back home conveniently.
I realised Chinatown really has changed alot and I can find such atas cafe in Chinatown too.
Four Season Durian Cafe Chinatown My ratings: ★★★★★
Zootopia is a last year movie and I still can't forget the movie and will go to you-tube to listen to the song 'Try Everything' which sings by Shakira. I really love the song so much and I find that the lyrics is very encouraging. Zootopia is a movie which really can learn some lessons from the movie itself.
So, the first lesson is to learn not to stereotype anyone and second lesson is not to bully anyone!!! I realise when say out from our mouth and say that we don't stereotype anybody but the actions are not according to the mouth we say. Well, every little acts do count and is really so important not to hurt anyone!
Bullying?? Say 'No' to Bullying and don't ever bully others. You think is fun to bully others? Imagine yourself get bully and other people teasing you, how will you feel? Do always stand in the vicitm's place to see and don't always thought of yourself.
Awy, in the show, ya the 2 main characters, Judy the rabbit and Nick the fox
Besides that main characters, I love the Officer Benjamin Clawhauser, the cheetah.
So cute and so chubby!!!!!!
I love the Officer Benjamin Clawhauser, the cheetah so much.
The cheetah will hide a doughnut under its neck, haha.
Which one is your favourite character in the movie and what lesson have you learn from the movie too? Do comment below and share, Thanks.
I messed up tonight, I lost another fight
I still mess up but I'll just start again
I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground
I always get up now to see what's next
Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up
Nobody learns without getting it wrong
I won't give up, no I won't give in
'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
Look how far you've come, you filled your heart with love
Baby, you've done enough, take a deep breath
Don't beat yourself up, don't need to run so fast
Sometimes we come last, but we did our best
I won't give up, no I won't give in
'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I won't give up, no I won't give in
'Til I reach the end and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail
I'll keep on making those new mistakes
I'll keep on making them every day
Those new mistakes
Nowdays, alot of things have changed!!!
From my favourite past
time of Digimon games which I used to play when I'm a kid. I love this
game so much, to feed my own digimon and I just feel that I'm really like keeping a real pet which will grow and shit, and eat. I can use my digimon to fight with my friends' digimons.Most importantly, this digimon device is small and convenience for all
of us to put in our pocket to bring around to play, N will need to keep checking my digimon pet to see and will worried my digimon will get sick or die man. So, I feel more secured the device to be
with me and for me to check my digimon most of the time, hahaha!
Then slowly, more handheld games come out. From gameboy nitendo to gameboy advance with colour one!
Then change to PSP or WIL
Within years it had change tremendously.
Like our mobiles!!!
From big handphones to call to become smaller handphone
Then to touchscreen phones
I
used to write letters to my friends, buy stamps and mail to them. Till
now, I still find that sending letters is more sincere than the most
fastest way of email or whatapp man.
That how life changes, just like the buildings or shopping centers too
Most common one, Jurong East Entertainment shopping mall
To J-Cube shopping mall
Even the name had changed itself
Or another common one. Ten mile junction to Junction 10
And now the Causeway point too
Well, I think whether it's new or old, it has it's good and bad. Changes might be better too.
