Livin'in Taiwan - Day 2

Today is the first day that i see sun shine in Taiwan. Looking at many peoples who were constantly showing "I-feel-damn-hot" expression (it is summer now), hmm... Malaysia also not bad, at least i looked relaxed while they are stressed! :P

Okay...so today i am not in rushing to anywhere, so i decided to make a "better-length" post.

Jason Goh were asking me where is my first night room picture? This is it:



This room is claimed to be specially designed by "duno-who" designer to build a trendy taste amongst the old, conventional-liked buildings.

Guess what? I spent 1 hrs ++ to figure out how to use the international adapter here. (almost want to pull down the whole LCD TV to get the plug that lays behind!)



After checking-out, i went out to buy breakfast and see what the street would probably looks like compared to yesterday night:

It is a lot different than yesterday? It is 11am that time and i were walking off myself, having people looking at me because i hold a camera and doing shooting

The above picture marks many kindergarden kids who are about to enter "Taiwan story center". So cute they were assembling with counting going around.





I used to hear of this famous "xing guang san yue" shopping complex many times, but it seems nothing so special except for it opens at 11am (ppl were all waiting outside to get in) and there are Lift-lady who will ask and tell you which floor to go. (inside i didn't take picture.. pls imagine The Store or Old Parkson.. :P)



Without much hesitation, i decided to pack up and go away from Taipei town. So, I went to BEI TOU, which is the place that has hot-spring hotel, a place that you may opt to begin to go the famous Yang-Ming Shan!

1) I saw a Mat Saleh who intend to speak to me in Chinese (because he was riding bicycle and saw me walking with tears/ sweats to look for a stay) - but at last i gave up and converse english with him, lolz!

2) While the time i am ready to take bus to go Yang-Ming moutain, i met with a lady-mountain ranger! what a good luck that i got, then i follow her to somewhere that normal tourist wouldn't do in Yang-Ming Mountain!


Don't imgaine too far~ but i were walking up to reach the top of the mountain!




I feel like i am back to the era of ninja's training ground. Walking, speed in silent. Cause i am the only one crossing there that time. keke!




After 30mins, i saw this one:



What a sweet little Waterfall hiding in deep mountain! I am lucky enough to eye it because i chosen tiny walking path to go up!



They called it "Silky Waterfall". HAHA! i can't agree more than that.. it really looked silky!

After a long hours of up down, up down, and UP DOWN, i finally reached the top!













Saw a couple..don't what they plan to do there - zoom shot






1) Left Uncle doing shooting~ (but i think he is better poser!)

2) Happy four bro sis playing games~



haha... The weather is very good upthere, as i had a relaxing time to clean my sweat and drink water~


There is animal here too! see this:








Tell you this dog is very big-sized. Can see people scare getting close to it, or when he walk to the crowd. (sitting next to me, so i can take a close shot)



and finally.......... i wanna introduce you:




MR ANT!!!

it is a great gift given by the lady-ranger who is going to lead a children tour.. haha!



so...tomorrow, i am unplanned about where to go again, maybe 101 tower? keke!
