i'm back !
hope you missed me but anyway , long post here on my taiwan trip with merl and other miscellaneous stuffs .
i don't know about you but frankly i like reading lengthy posts so try and appreciate this somehow ok .
since i'm back here safe and sound , lemme show you my 2 self declared lucky charms .
these are merl's:
and some pictures of us before boarding the plane ,
since merl says it's tradition to take photos with the plane !
... not that you can see much of the plane though :x
the first day , our first stop after we reached taipei was to take a bus to the high speed rail, did half a day shopping at gaoxiong and then we took a cab to kenting , checked in our hotel and headed to kenting street market .
since i could'nt sleep in the airplane which was a 4 and a half hours flight *inserts sad face* i napped in the buses , high speed rails and cabs . yup , i spent most of my time in the transports in taiwan napping .
our hotel, swan lake villa . pretty place ! :)
shopping for the first day consists of me getting mainly souvenirs ,
merl getting her necklaces and bracelet and us a couple necklace and ring ♥
also food such as taiwan instant noodles , milk teas , tea eggs , onigiri , dian xin , mochi ice cream , biscuits for gifts , noodles , braised rice , sausages and tall ice cream !
our ring collection as of now :)
yep merl has one more than me !
hers are the 1st 3 from left , mine are the last two .
3rd and 4th are our newly bought taiwan rings .
the new ring is rose gold and silver (more silver again!) initially i wanted any new rings to be gold or black but since its half gold , it's cute too :D
gave me a scare when it went missing on the 3rd day , lucky it dropped into my bag and i still have it .
*sigh of relief*
first day felt like a long day cos we touched down in taipei at 6am so spend the whole day up and about .
and went kenting street till late but it's an adventure in itself :p
bedtime !
merl always watches tv for abit while i go to sleep first :D
2nd day outfit !
super casual since we are doing alot of outsdoorsy stuff in the sun . such as visit to the national museum of marine biology and aquarium , lighthouse and other attractions . here are some pictures !
before stepping out of our hotel-
on the bus:
after the museum was touring around !
second stop was lighthouse i think which proved quite scary cos of all the flies , mosquitoes and such .
third was this dragon park which was quite nice with no flies nor mozzies :D
next we headed to another place for sunset !
(i hope im getting the order right . no flies nor mozzies either)
fifth place was super scary with alot of flies and mozzies !!
although its a good spot to take photos i feel but the flies crawl all over you and i hate flies :(
so i didnt manage to take a nice photo successfully for merl . oops so sorry . i cant do flies .
but our tour guide took one that looks ok for us ,
so not all hope is lost ~ photos are with merl .
for the last 2 stops we went to some gate and everlasting fire .
super lazy to take photos so i dont have any .
everlasting fire was cool and we lighted sparklers there:
milkteas are love .
k need to rush out now so bai !

left for taipei on the third day .
day 3 and 4 even lazier to take photos .
reasons why all the photos i have is iphone quality is becos my cam battery died on me .
so i forgot to bring my cam along :x
this is day 3 outfit:
day 3 was alot of shopping around taipei , went to taipei mall , wufenpu , shilin street .
again i may come back to edit this post once i have more pictures .
i think i got stuff i like the most in taipei .
such as my new playboy bag ♥ clothes and one piece deep blue ♥
day 4 was mostly spent in taipei mall getting goodies to bring back !
then took car to board our flight . we needed to reach airport at around 2 plus for check in , flight was at 4 .
so had to leave taipei around 1 .
this is our day 4 outfit :
ending off with all the milkteas we consumed .
some are not featured cos too lazy to take photos .
milkteas are love .
