KeeLung and Jiu Fen... With Rain.. =(

It's the 3rd day we stay and Taipei and Taiwan... Waking up at around 9am... the morning is really cold for use and yet, i still have take any bath since arrive.. =X

Again we walk around our hostel area (another side) and take breakfast at a wet market nearby... Then we walk to the Taipei Main Station to take Taiwan Railway (TRA) to KeeLung..:



The journey takes around 45min and we reach the port of Keelung.. We went to the Tourism Office and ask for Tourist Spot in Keelung and the told us about this port.. =.=:





We walk along the road with strong and cold wind and finally reach the park as they mention..

Ntg was interesting there and we manage to turn back and get to JiuFen early:



When reach back KeeLung city, we were guided by local ppl to take bus to JiuFen, which the town drawn as the background of the cartoon "Spirit Away" =D:



When we reach the hill town, it's more colder then Taipei city..

We fast-fast get a bowl of mee and Taufu Fah at the nearest restaurant..

The food is really warming us.. =D:



The Jiufen Street:



Believe me anot? Siz Boon is addicted to this Snail and it's yucks for me even i have tried:



See dy the speed he eating... hahax... :



This is the JiuFen Ghost Face Museum... But we pay NTD5o to enter it:



Afte visit JiuFen, we went back KeeLung to the Miao Kou Night Market...

I lazy upload the pictures of it... =P

The most unforgetable of the night market is the curry rice... Which is actually Darl pour on top of plain rice... The thing that make the Darl spicy is they put alot papper into it.. =.="

101 and Beitou Hot Spring Day~

Hmm... It's the day 4 and the day was the 1st sunny day since we arrive... =D

As we are leaving for KaoHsiung in the mid-night, we packed our things and put aside at our hostel lobby.. The boss of the hostel is very keen to keep our belongings until we are back to Taipei at the 7th night..

The morning started with a nice sun shine and i manage to take my 1st shower in Taiwan... =X

Then we start to walk around the city again and look for breakfast:



And finally we get the "economic rice" aka Rice Box in Taiwan.. The most acceptable food for me in Taiwan... =P

This is my set which cost NTD90:



Then we head for Taipei 101 by metro:



Taipei 101 wasn't that tall as i imagine, maybe the base area is much larger then the thin twin-towers in Malaysia... XD

And i did take a few photos here:



Inside the Taipei 101 Mall:



The thing in 101Mall is really too costly and we not even plan to buy anything from there... =(

And after that, we went to Beitou by Metro again (Metro is too efficient in Taipei) for visiting the Hot Spring Town...:



Beitou Line Metro:



New Beitou Station and the Hot-Spring Town:



1 of the public library in Beitou:



And theHot-Spring Museum:



After visiting the Hot-spring museum, we passed by a river which flows with hot water... I think it's the dispossal water from those resorts and i don't get down to rendam my feet~



Leter on we reach the thermal valley which the hot spot of the spring water come from..

See how warm is it:



Passed by the Library again:



Then we look for food again in Beitou Town.. =D:



We went back to Taipei city around 8pm...

During the walking, we found that Taiwan have cheap cakes... =)

A slide of Tiramisu (larger then Secret Recipe) onlt cost NTD25...

Wao.. we fast fast simply choose 2 slides of cakes and enjoy it... =D:



And the time was around 9pm and we get back our hostel lobby to take our bagpack and on9 at there for a while..

After an hour on9ing and chatting with other guest, the boss come out with a Tiramisu cake again because it's ET's birthday... We sing song and celebrate together...

The naughty boy, the boss son:





And after few hours of chit-chatting and on9ing and tv-ing... all the guest get into sleep...

I and Siz Boon left the hostel around 1.15am and take express bus to Kaohsiung at 1.30am...

And we slept in the bus the whole night.. Zzz..
