Baby recently told me she's feeling excited..... Ahem..... We never do anything la..... She's just excited about our impending trip to Taiwan in Apr... Me too cos my last overseas trip was in 2001 with a bunch of sweaty guys (army training loh)...
Anyway since the tickets were booked, I have been doing pretty lotsa research - what hotel to book, where to go, how to go in doing up the itinerary. As the date gets closer, the places we are going are more or less firmed:
- National Palace Museum [intro by Xiuying (Ed's gf) to see the jade that looks like 三层肉]
- 五角船板 (restaurant that baby saw it on a ch 8 tv prog)
- Dan Shui
- Beitou Hotspring
- Xi Men Ding
- Taipei 101 (not really feel like going but it feels funny to tell ppl that I've been to Taipei but not to 101, so 去个意思吧..)
- Leofoo Village (I hope I make it back alive) [Will take up almost 1 day I think]
- Wu Fen Pu
- Jiu Fen
- Night Markets (Shilin, Shida, Raohe)
Still trying to see if can slot in Yang Ming Shan to see flowers (yawn), Tianmu. I'm going Taroko Gorge too but still trying to find my way there. Haha... It will occupy another whole day...
Oh, got to share with you on this terrific place to get information about Taiwan. There is this Taiwan Visitors Association at UIC Building (Shenton Way) that has free maps, guides and brochures about Taiwan. These are some of the brochures I took back.
And, to encourage more people to travel to Taiwan, they even give away freebies. For the months of Jan to Mar, they are giving away limited edition of EasyCard (equivalent to our EZ Link card) with a value of NT50 inside the card.
They are giving away theme park tix in Apr. Cant remember the freebies in May and June though. Do drop by the place the next time you are going to Taiwan.
