anyway enough whining
here are some pics from my last trip to Taiwan
Departed KLIA *excited*
arrived early in the morning (Taoyuan International Airport)
no traffic jams on Taipei streets???
cute petrol station/colors
a quick visit to Taipei County Hall
and the view deck to get a bird's eye view
a lot of green construction underway
In short Day 1 was all about cruising around Taipei and Banciao
did plenty of sightseeing without stopping down
because we were tired from the flight
and wanted to kick off our shoes and relax after all the hazzle dazzle
as most would know
the streets of Taipei are littered with small/medium vendors
that sell snacks/noodles etc
some of the most common found food include
beef noodle, pork chop rice, braised meat rice, noodles
been to one, been to all, more or less
this bridge transports you back a few hundred years? lol
these two landmarks tell me that i am close to home *very important and hard to miss*
getting around in Taipei is easy breezy
unless you don't read Chinese and English!!
that's me. STOP!!
more pictures soon ........
