16 Oct 11 - Taiwan Trip

Wore the NT290 top which I bought the day before. Dislike it...

Not sure where to go today, went out around 10 plus am. Saw one of the shop at Ximending opened and went in. Bought 3 pairs of stretch jeans like pants for NT 390 each and a jacket for NT 390 also. Left it at the shop, thought to collect it when we came back in the evening. TERRIBLE! We forgot where the shop was but lucky managed to find it! Then mum got lost! Lucky I was able to contact her via handphone! Lucky I brought it with me!

Ok back to where we went, thought we could visit taipei's zoo? Took their metro to the Taipei Zoo stop. Walked to the The Maokong Gondola (貓空纜車). There were many people waiting for the ride, maybe cos it was sunday.

The distance for the gondola ride was quite long! This is the longest gondola I had ever taken. 4km, like never ending and bored.

Reached the last Maokong station, NT 50 using the card bought from the metro station. Realised that there was actually nothing to see...hmm....Unless maybe you want to come here for tea? Don't know.

Did not go to zoo...

↓ At the Taipei Zoo Metro station.


 ↓ Last stop of the Gondola.



↓ A place not worth going?Nothing to see...except you want to experience the long gondola ride?


↓ Actually, beside me was tombs....


↓ Have a break, have some tea?



↓ Tea house...


↓ Nothing to do....saw lots of butterflies..



↓ There's a non aircon "foodcourt" selling food...very crowded...


We left the place around 3pm and went to Houshanpi metro station to Wufenpu. Things were quite ex? Not sure maybe cos we already bought few pants in the morning...Bought a blouse for NT390. Nothing much for me and mum there so we went back Ximending.

Bought Naruko face and eye cream at watson. Singapore selling very ex, it was cheaper here.

Bought bitter gourd juice at NT 35, mum bought porridge, a big bowl with lots prawns, etc for quite cheap.
