has got to be the most grueling day in 2010
i walked so much it probably surpassed the total amount (time + distance)
i’ve walked this year – no joke
and i’m grateful it was autumn and not scorching hot summer
we started the day with a light breakfast from 7 11 across the Fuzhong MRT station
alighted at the CKS Memorial Hall station
which happens to be on the blue line as well
though i’ve been here before, the bf wanted to snap some pictures for keep’s sake
Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall
actually there were more memorabilia but i didn’t think you’d be interested haha
besides you have got to see it for yourselves…
i forgot the name of this monumental hall….
sorry ar…
anyways, we spent a good hour or more at the site
snapping endless pictures like nobody’s business
under strict instructions from you-know-who
and when we were done, it was time to decide where to go next
but before that we were already tempted by a nearby stall selling sausage hamburgers
a close up shot of the ingredients
after the takeaway, we decided to go to Danshui (red line)
so from CKS Memorial Hall, we changed platforms at Taipei City Hall
and hopped onto the train on the red line
that took us less than 10 minutes to arrive …. i tell you it is real easy to navigate
Danshui / Fisherman’s Wharf / Lover’s Bridge
as soon as we got off the train and walked out of the station
we were greeted by literally hundreds of stalls selling food and drinks,
some i’ve never seen before
and if i had to summarize the place in one word, i’d say it was TOURISTY
a sea side attraction of food and shopping.
i think we spent 1-2 hours visiting each stall and shop on our way to Fisherman’s Wharf
there are two companies operating ferry rides to and fro at NTD50-60 per person
although Fisherman’s Wharf is highly raved for its Lover’s Bridge
I didn’t see anything special to it
it was just another bridge, another tourist-ripoff scheme….
bigass dog!!!
On a completely random note,
I have to give credit to the Taiwanese people for their love of pets
Throughout my stay here, the amount of pampered pooches I saw
puts Malaysian pet owners to shame
I even saw a baby stroller that was meant for dogs!!!!
if you think this is the end of the post, you are dead wrong!!!
i am only about halfway through!!
survival tip 101: please bring proper footwear eg. Crocs or walking shoes
and throw your vanity out the window like i did
even with Crocs, i had blisters everywhere …
