Day #1 to #3

Hi, since I've the time now ; i shall blog about Taiwan (part I)
As I've mentioned earlier, i spent 3 days in Gaoh Siung before heading to Taipei.
So this blog post will be all about Gaoh Siung.
Honestly, i wouldn't recommend you to visit there cuz there's nothing to shop about.
Felt like it's just a waste of time to visit there except for the theme park ;x


#1 in Taiwan (5th April)
Took a 4h flight to reach Taipei, followed by a 2h train ride travel to Gaoh Siung.
Basically, the first day was wasted as we spent most of the time travelling.
Note : PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE buy a sim card at least.
(so that you can use your phone to find the location you want)
Don't bother asking the residents especially about Hotels .
They wouldn't have a clue because there are so many hotels in the district.
We, ourselves spent 2 hours touring around just to find the god damn hotel.
So, don't forget my advice.

With Bernice!

SAY CHEESE! 

 Taiwan's train station.

FYI ; The cool thing about their train station is that you can bring food inside the train.
And because of food, we almost missed our train ride LOL!





 With Ji Wun and Bernice ((:


With Vanna on the bus ^^

 Thank god that we still have some time to go for the famous 夜市 @ Gaoh Siung
Which settled our dinner+supper ^^
The food is so yummy and cheap so it's a must to try! HEHE

 Familiar?


Eating CHOU DOU FU, MY FAV YAYYYYYYYYY ;D 

 SQUID, MY FAVOURITE (Y)



 #2 Taiwan (6th April)
I swear this is the most enjoyable day throughout this trip.
All along, Theme Park has always been my favourite place since young.
And I've never regretted coming to this because it's really that awesome!

Location : E-Da WORLD 義大世界


You need to alight at Zuo Ying mrt station then take a 30 mins bus ride from there.
The bus tix is around SGD 1 + per pax so it's counted as cheaper compared to cabs.
Opening hours : 9 am to 5.30 pm
However, the rides will stop sharply at 5pm so it's better to go early unlike us!
Aimed to finish all the rides within its opening hours but failed. ):
Admission fees : SGD 38.80 per pax
Compared to USS, E-da is so much cheaper and enjoyable! ;D
Real sorry that i didn't manage to take much photos of the rides and all.
Because we didn't bring any of our belongings in other than $$$ hahaha.
However, i will be introducing the 3 BEST exciting rides I went so far!

- TOP 1 ; Booster-



I swear this is one of the best rides I've ever came across.
The fact that it is 18th story high is sufficient enough to scare your wits.
And leaving you hanging straight up there to stare at the sky, i almost died.
My heart almost leapt out of my mouth when we turned 360 degrees backwards.
I just kept screaming non-stop because i forced myself to open my coward eyes all the way.
The process alone itself is good enough for you to have a long nightmare.
But if I've a second chance, I'd love to try it once more #YOLO



-Top 2; Big Air ride -

A 7th story freefall ride with seats angled at 45 degrees.
When you've successfully concurred Booster (top 1) ; this is nothing.
Compared to Booster, this ride is so much faster but more predictive.
As it is like a U-shape, it's easier to predict the direction of where it is heading to.


-Top 3; Spinning wild mouse Coaster-
Sorry there're no photos available but a video.
Apparently, i feel dizzy after watching the video cuz the person actually videoed the whole process while riding on it . LOL
So watch it if you're keen!

The ride is located on the roof of Trojan Palace which at first, we thought it wasn't fun at all.
As Trojan palace has more children rides, i assumed that this wouldn't be challenging.
But i'm so so so wrong.
What's terrifying about this ride was that you can see a CLEAR view of the whole theme park.
With the exception of spinning constantly, you may have the tendency to lunge in different directions.
Causing riders to look nearly straight down at the ground, giving you the mindset you're gonna crash.



Well, the highlight of the theme park is this!!!!! 

Feels so much like we are in Santorini, don't you think? 
The cobblestone path makes the whole place so elegant and promising (: 
This is definitely an ideal place for you to cam-whore as much as you can.
Regretted not bringing my camera along, if not I would have posted more photos ;x 



Afterwards, we went to RuiFeng night market located at Kaoh Siung Arena.
It's like 5 times bigger than a normal pasar malam!
Regretted not buying more clothes there cuz it's counted as the cheapest place I've gone to.
On the other hand, we went for fake tattoos all together, HAHA so bonded right!?!?!
After much contemplation, we chose 泡泡龙 to signify us 





#3 in Taiwan ; 7th April!
Yet another wasted day, spent most of the time travelling from Gaoh Siung to Taipei.
Went to Sanduo Shopping District mrt station; stupidly thinking that there will be shopping streets.
Apparently, there is nothing other than a big Metro.
Which we only spend a pathetic 30 mins covering the whole building.
Since we still have so much time to spare, we decided to have a cam-whoring session (Y)





Mai siao siao, we've fake tattoos. HAHAH


"SEE WHAT SEE" 



Those guys trying out cheer-leading stunts without any experience.
"No pain, no gain" I think ZY fully understand the meaning of this HAHAH. 
And our girls' reaction were like "What the, can you all stop being fools" :P

Ok la, a round of applause since they succeeded in the end (Y)

Some pictures taken @ Dream Mall (Kaisyuan station) 
The mall is so damn huge but nothing caught my eye.
Omggg so boring till Bernice & I decided to shop in their "NTUC" for food.
LMAOS.... 

With Ji Wun in the shuttle bus to Dream mall.




FYI- There's a free shuttle bus @ Kaisyuan mrt to take us to Dream mall.
The bus ride only takes about 10 mins so it's actually quite near from mrt, hoho.



Ending post with my solo pic facing from the back.
Hahaha bye!!!!!!!
