A Journey Of A Backpacker Begin

Yea~! I'm heading to Taiwan on 6th Jan 2010.. After a long wait, I remember i booked the air ticket on 2009 April, and now i can't wait to reach Taiwan...

It's the starting of my journey...

Went to LCCT@KLIA early on 6am and cheak-in as 3 hours before departure..

I dowan to miss the "legendary flight" in my life... XD

That's why i manage to take some pictures at there..





Boarding our A330 to Taipei:



The aircraft was nice which every1 have personal touch screen, but you have to pay RM30 to active it..

Without paying, you still can use the inflight chatting system and the GPS view.. =D



The meal, Nasi Lemak (RM12)... It's nice in AirAsiaX flight.. I wonder why my friend say it's sucks:



The flight only take 4hours 15min.. And we pass the immigration smoothly..

Arrival at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport:



Then we take transfer bus to Taipei city for NTD125 which takes around 1hrs:

The 1st Steps On Taiwan

When we reach Taipei city, it was like "wao, it's kinda chillyand the wind is blowing constantly"

Then we walk down to the Underground Mall and Siz Boon have to buy a cap which he forget to bring... =X



Then we walk along the underground mall and take an exit to our hostel, Taiwanmex Guesthouse, a very cheerful hostel for us and we get to know alot foreign travelers and we stay there for 3 nights in Taipei..



After unlodging our backpack, then is the 1st step we start to explore Taiwan.. =D



Ofcourse the 1st thing is looking for food...

We found these hawker stalls in front of Taipei Main Station:



I trying the onion fried.. Normal food only:



Then we went to the famous Xi Men Ding trough Taipei Metro..

Here was the place full with leng nui... XD



We try out Mister Doughnut... 1 doughnut NTD40..



And this Bubble Milk Tea.. NTD50... Kinda expansive but it's the normal price in Taipei..



Picture taken at Xi Men Red House:





And half way back to hostel, we are lost because we forget to bring map out.. =X

The we manage to simply get a map from a hotel:



The wind is freezing ppl:



And the sunset is early at Taiwan, around 5.30pm.. So the sky darken completely at 6pm.. making us like going out too late dy.. =P

And we back to our hostel around 11pm... Waiting for the next sunrise...

2nd Day At Taipei and Danshui

It's Thursday and it's our journey 2nd day... We went to take breakfast with a new known friend, Shawn at a nearby restaurant... Salty Soya Milk serve with Yao Char Kuey and Ommelet.. Still nice but no chilli sause, they just prepare the shit salty sause which they say it's chilli sause.. wth~ ..!.. =X
