taipei 101

karaoke!! ni bu zaiiiiiiiiii~~ dang wo zui shi yao aiiiiiiiiiiiii~~~~

chill at some pub/cafe whr we can reminisce abt our friendship and moan abt our losses in mj:D

snake alley: bizarre and grotesque displays of snake eating and snake blood drinking. Excited salesman shout eager invitations into microphones and promise increased vitality and strength from the snake blood. HAHAHAH!!! sounds like an eye opener eh!!!The surrounding street around this market also has many stalls which sell delicious tradtional Taiwanese eats like custard cakes, rice sausages, and dried squid. You must try these treats to get a real taste of street food in Taiwan.

Seven Star Mountain (Chihsingshan) is the tallest mountain within Taipei City and can have great views. As you're hiking up, you may think that you've come to the top (the trail goes up and down a couple of times), but you'll know you're at the top when you come to some benches and a directional post with a thermometer on it. some exercise to wrk off the fats frm smelly toufu and all the yummy delicious taiwan snacks!!:)

Danshui (Fisherman's Wharf)Danshui (淡水鎮), a quiet fisherman pier. Here you'll find snacks & the famous “old street” (老街) where they sell almost anything...cheap. They even have live seafood! Fresh from the fisherman's net & cook on the spot. SLURP!!! L.I.V.E. S.E.A.F.O.O.D!!!:):):)

raid the supermarket and pig out later at nite in our hotel rm. have loads and loads of fun and the trip of the lifetime

HAHAHAH IM SO EXCITED FOR THE TRIP. cos after we get back to spore ben will have to go army, yc will continue wrking and gg army, sj will study, me and et will wrk den go study... whr gt time to meet each other often?! so lets faster set a date out for our trip research and confirmation!:D:D:D:D:D:DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

i've found this really good website tt's meant for youngster like us who are planning to explore taiwan on our own. hmm..basically the website has all most/all of the places of interest of different regions of taiwan and even directions on how to get there.

oh!! the website is http://www.youthtravel.tw/ .
the web is quite cool coz it provides info like travel guides,directions,addresses,telephone numbers and even temperatures of different cities and towns. i've already combed the website already and here's a summary of it. (:

EAST
consists mainly of beaches,diving spots,whale watching spots,forest,lakes and cultural parks.

8)Shihtiping--activities:whale watchiing and scuba diving.
9)Mt. Jinjhen,in Taima Li--can go and see the whole field filled with blooming flowers. "April-May pure white lilies cover the mountain, which is a sight welcomed just as warmly by visitors". (:
10)Sunrise Hot Springs
11)Suao Cold Springs
12)Jiaosi Hot Spring
13)Jhihben Hot Springs

OFFSHORE ISLANDS
consists mainly of scenic spots.

ogay.so tt's all i have so far.sorry tt it's rather lengthy.but got substance one ok.haha.and not to forget,the temperature over there ranges from 5degree C to 22 degree C.it'll be rather cold/cooling so we have to bring long sleeve or warmer clothes to keep ourselves warm.oh ya,talking abt tt,we have to get ready some survival kit like first-aid box,cold relief pills etc.

so in conclusion,i think the north and east regions would have more things and places for us to explore,compared to south,central and offshore islands.yepp.coz i believe we'll to choose regions to visit coz we most likely wont have ample time to tour the whole of taiwan.maybe u guys can check the website out or do more research aand then decide.haha.oh,and i hope the info provided by this web is realiable.haha.maybe we can check and tally w other websites.haha.(:

P.S. i really hope we can execute our plans for this trip coz i'm really looking forward to it.and yepp,i'll research more and will post them up soon.till then~ (:
