Taiwan Day 1: Taipei 101
written on Friday, December 26, 2014 @ 6:32 PM ✈

Hi everyone! Recently had the urge to write a blog on my travel log. Hope to share my travel experience with everyone!

First post shall start with Taiwan, a place that all would like to visit!
I will be sharing my itinerary here too!
I went there for 7D6N.

Flight details:

Airline: Jetstar
Cost: $229.50/pax
Departure (SG - TW) : 0710hrs 
Length of flight: 4hrs 45min


The first thing we did after we cleared the customs was to buy a Taiwan SIM card to keep us in contact with the net and each other in case we got into separate ways due to the big crowd that we might met. There's lots of choices at the arrival hall. We chose the cheapest one as it doesn't have any difference to us.

Transportation to hotel: 

Taking cab to the city/hotel is so expensive. If you happens to buy SIM card at the arrival hall, there will be people approaching you for transportation. They will offer you like 2000 twd to and fro from airport to hotel. Which is about $84sgd. Me and my boy then choose to take the airport bus to Taipei bus terminal. You can easily get tickets at the bus terminal at the airport. They also have different bus company to choose from. So we chose the earliest bus that we could board.

The bus will stop at a few stops/hotel while going to Taipei Bus Terminal. At the bus terminal, you could board a free bus to ximending. Where we booked our stay at. The bus didn't stop directly infront of our hotel, but it's within walking distance. If you're unsure of which way to walk, you may approach the bus driver, he will be glad to help you with the directions.

Accommodation for next few days: 

Below are photos of our hotel room. Although it's quite a small room, but it's very cozy. I believed that this hotel is a family business. The hotel staffs are very friendly too. We considered that we will not stay in the hotel for long, that's why we rather save down money on shopping and etc than booking a luxury hotel.

Hotel: Yes Inn
Location: 5mins walk to famous 红楼
They have 7-11, bubble tea store, starbucks at walking distance.
Price: $441.56 for 5 nights, $88.31/night (Booked under agoda.com)



After we unload our luggage in the room, we went for late lunch at the Modern Toilet Restaurant 

108, Taiwan, Lane 50, Xining South Rd, 7號
2樓

It's located in the alley. But you will be able to see a BIG toilet bowl picture on the building itself. There's also a shoe shop beside the entrance of the restaurant. 

The whole restaurant is decorated with toilet accessories like, bathtub, toilet bowl seats, shower hose etc. Even the food was served in toilet bowls/bathtub. The cutest/funniest thing is that we had a chocolate ice-cream that comes with the meal we ordered. It was made like a poo of shit on the squatting toilet. LOL








It's was still early so we headed to TAIPEI 101, a place where you could almost see the whole Taipei.
Of course they have their famous mascot,

LOVE 

In the exhibition hall at 101, they have sign boards recommending tourist place of interest. They also provide recordings in different language to help tourist from different countries to understand how 101 comes about and how it is built. 

Recommendation: ««««
Advice: Go once is enough. 

The sky's getting dark. Time to find a place to settle our dinner. 没去过夜市,不算来过台湾!
So we just head to one of the night market which I forgotten which one I went to. HAHA. Sorry! 
But at least I took a photo of my food. 

猪血汤,贡丸

The night market was crowded, didn't have much chance to take photos. But I bet it is nicer than Singapore's Pasar Malam. They have fishing or prawning stalls for everyone to play. You can grill your prawns on the spot after you have caught it. (Provided you have caught the prawns) 

END OF DAY ONE.
