Taipei Holiday! :D (Part 2)

Day 6. Start off with prayers at LongShan Temple. And look! They have got big LED display at their front door! Cool right? Followed zhuby to do some prayers, and got one amulet for my sis, O level this year. On the way to other places, we walk through the underground crystal and jade market. Find their designs somehow similar to those in Singapore. Next station is the Miniatures Museum of Taiwan. This museum showcases miniature figurines, so tiny and so detailed. The artist really put in lots of artwork. Like the displays a lot. How I wish I've got such talents. X) Don't know where to go in the night, so went to the supermarket near our hotel to buy cup noodles. See how much we have bought! Whole trolley of it. :P

Special exhibit this month, mini tiny teddy bears!

All 4 packets of instant noodles are mine! :D

Day 7. One of the important places to go during this trip, the Confucius Temple. It's under renovation, so couldn't view the whole temple. And I made wishes for my sis again. :):) Nearby is BaoAn Temple, zhuby go there and pray for protection if I'm not wrong. Too tire to go night markets, we simply walk around the back alleys near our hotel. It's like Haji Lane, very fashionable yet very expensive.

Day 8. Last day in Taipei! Went to Shilin there for lunch, tried the Haw Kwang Vegetarian Restaurant. Damn yummy! 14 course meal for just $10! Hahas. Then went to buy 8 boxes of Milk Taiyang Bing. Damn yummy too! Meet up with zhuby's parents after that to visit the famous Eslite Bookstore and have dessert at Sushi Express. Cheap and delicious sushi! NT30 per plate only, and it's for all dishes! Wasted 1 hour at the airport cause the check-in counters not open.

I like the washroom sign. :D

So bored that I drew on zhuby's fingers. X)

That's all. BYE TAIWAN! See you again soon! :D
