Taiwan Trip I

Finally !! I've got the pics from my recent Taiwan Trip and there are 481 photos in all mind you. Of course I wun be posting ALL of them here. We flew Jet Star so that we could spend more money at Taiwan. The difference is like $300/person. But only when I boarded the plane did I realize how budget it was. A word of advice though, do eat your fill before you board the plane. The prices of the food on board is outrageous. $3 for a can of coke. But anyway, that's y the price of the air ticket is so cheap isn't it ?

Look at the space between my legs and the seat infront!! An ant could barely squeeze through!!

The air-conditioning was bad too. If we could open the windows, we would have done it lol. But then again, 一分钱,一分货. After roughly 4 hours. We finally reached our destination.

So after we checked out of the airport, our tour guide took us to our hotel to rest for the night. Our tour starts the next day.
Our hotel!
And look what's right opposite our hotel. A nightclub!! LOL

Anyway since we haven't had our dinner, we decided to walk around to search for food and also look around the vicinity of our hotel. Apparently our hotel is located near town, therefore there's alot of shopping centres around.

Night pics of the area around our hotel.



Even though the cars here are much cheaper than those in Singapore. Cars are not the main mode of transport in Taipei.
More affectionately known as Xiao Mian Yang(小绵羊). I would say they make up around 70% of the vehicles on the road. However, their motorcyclists don't give face one. So do be extra careful when you cross the road.

After walking around and not knowing what to eat because there are so many restaurants around, we decided to have dinner at this curry restaurant.


I ordered curry pork chop rice. Nice!

Got cheese inside the pork chop one.

The food in Taipei is relatively cheaper than in Singapore. A meal in a restaurant like this could easily cost you about $18-20 in Singapore. However over there, it only costs about $12-14.
After dinner, we continued walking around just exploring the area. But more or less everywhere looked the same. We walked on for awhile more before returning back to our hotel.

The toilet. Got bath-tub somemore

That marked the end of my first day in Taipei. More updates in the future.

Left or Right brained ?

Came across this test from Jenn's blog. I'm Right-Left. What's yours ?

==============================================

First, identify yourself as right or left brain person:

1. Hold your hands together, as if you were praying.Look at your hands.

If you see left thumb is below the right thumb ---> left brain
Right thumb is below the left thumb ---> right brain.

Fold your arms in front of you (as if you are angry)
Right arm above left arm ---> left brain
Left arm above right arm ---> right brain

Based on 1+2 (order important),below is the interpretation of your personality:

Right-Left==========Considerate, traditional, indirect type. Can instinctly read other's emotion, and respond. Friendly by natures. Although not very into taking intiatives in moving forward, but this person will always take a step back in supporting others. Stable personality and considerate, give others a being protected feeling. But the weakness is they cannot say no; regardless how unwilling they are, they will take care of others.

Right-Right===========Loves challenges type. Straightfoward. Once they decided on one thing, will take action right away. Very curious, and love challenges. Dare to face dangers without thinking through (sometimes foolishly). Their weakness is they dont listen to others, will filter in only what they want to hear in a conversation, and very subjective. However, because of their straightforward attitude, they tend to be fairly popular.

Left-Left=========Dedicated, cold, perfectionist. Very logical in all aspects. The only way to defeat(or win over) him/her is through reasons. Has a lot of pride, and feel strongly about doing the right thing. If they are your friends, they are very trustworthy. However, if they are your opponets, they will be very tough to deal with. Because they can be very "anal" as a perfectionist,they usually leave a bad impression of being hard to deal with when first met.

Left-Right==========Likes to take care of others, leader type. Has a cool and keen observation ability to see through situations, yet still can be considerate in others needs. Because of their cool and calm nature,and strong sense of responsibility, they tend to become head of a group. Popular among people.However, they may not be able to help themselves in meddling because they want to take care of others too much. Very concerned about how others view them, and always on alert.

Everyone's a cracked pot

An elderly woman had two large pots. Each hung on one end of a pole that she carried across the back of her neck.

One of the pots had a crack in it and always ended up being only half-full of water when she arrived home.

One day, the cracked pot, ashamed of its imperfection, decided to speak to the woman.

"I am ashamed of myself, of this crack of mine that causes water to leak."

But the old woman replied: "Did you notice that there are flowers on your side of the path, but not on the other pot's side? I planted seeds on your side of the path and every day, while we walked back, you watered them. I have been able to pick those beautiful flowers to decorate the table because of you."

The point of the story?

Everyone has a flaw. You have to take people for what they are and look for the good in them.

You've decided that life is about living for yourself - simple as that.

You Belong in London

A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique soul like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well.
