要买，要快哦！11-16march (day 1)

“要买，要快哦！”

This is what people in Taiwan (it's what we heard... coming out from loud speakers. I don't know if it's a fact though.) love to say when they're fishing for customers.


That's right, welcome to Taiwan! Where the people are very, very courteous. Everything here is all too systematic. Terminals for buses and taxis are easily accessible after touch down.

We took a comfortable 国光 bus ride shortly after arriving at TaoYuan International Airport, to Taichung.

In one of the pictures below you can see Proton and Lotus cars with some of their names changed. Jumbuck! How queer is that!! haha.





Dinner at Taichung Station after check-in at a hotel (ours was a last-minute check-in. the first 2 hotels we went in were fully booked!) accessible via an underpass, behind the train station. Mos Burger!! yumm! and not forgetting hot chocolate and thick matcha.

Went shopping around the town centre. Bought 茶叶蛋(herbal egg) in a 7-Eleven store. It's cold, you need something hot to warm your GI tract!! Next, 葱饼(onion pancake). distinctly fragrant! smells really really good especially when you're cold!

Then we bought some 糖水 back. and called it a night! that's after finishing the 木瓜牛乳 which happened to be nice and comforting... hahaha. bonne nuit!

* notice the students' uniform-sweaters! Different schools have got different uniforms! And they come in a set, including school bags/brief cases, jackets, pants, etc. pretty cool huh!
