Taiwan Day One.

After all the planning, counting down, anticipation, it's finally the day.
 Flight at 10.45am, had to be at the airport like 3 hours before, we woke up at 5.30am.
And reach the airport at 7.30am...



 It's not our first time travelling aboard, but it's our first time travelling aboard together.
On our way to our departure gate, and the other 4 members already started their purchasing at the airport.

But it's definitely a first time for this kid, both the travelling aboard and on an airplane.

Bye Malaysia.

And hello Taiwan !


别人的机场.....


And, the first thing I had upon arriving in Taiwan, Latte. Lol.
It's from the foodcourt in TPE Airport, but it's nice and it only cost TWD 60(approx RM6).

The exchange rate when we visited Taiwan is approximately TWD100 to RM9.20
So TWD 100 is approximately equals to RM10. It's easier to calculate. hehe


Cause we planned to go Taichung first, so we took a bus to Taichung.
It cost TWD 240 a trip. It took about 2 hours for us to reach Taichung.

We reach Taichung Railway Station, and I was told the hotel is very near to the station.
But we still decided to hail a cab, but the uncle is so "nice".
He said the hotel is within a very close walking distance from the station
so he is probably telling us not to waste our money for that short distance.
So, 8 of us pulling a total of 10 luggage, using the bullsh*t google map,
had a very tiring yet meaningless time finding our way to our hotel.
It's quite an unpleasant experience for our first day in Taiwan. -.-
And this, marked the start of all the endless walking in Taiwan....

After like half an hour or more, we finally reached the hotel,
which, is only actually a 10 minutes walk (the most) from the station,
if we have had the right route. Okay.
Luckily, the hotel staffs are friendly and the rooms are alright.



 It only cost a total of  TWD7200
for 2 rooms for 4 person, for 3 nights.
So it's like TWD300 (approx RM30) per person per night.
It's the most satisfying hotel we got through the whole trip. 

Moon Lake Hotel 
No. 42-3, Guangfu Road, Taichung, Taiwan 400
+886 4 3704 8866

Couldn't waste the first day with all the travelling so... 
After placing our luggage in the room, we walked to Yizhong night market.

We just bought anything we wanted to try, anything that we never saw in Msia.
We headed towards different kiosk selling different things
and then gather again after getting our food and started the sharing.
我们没有说好的 就分开然后集合. HAHAHA
I really appreciate moments like this. :)




TWD 120 teriyaki beef noodle. Worth it, like super worth it.

From Yizhong night market, marked the start of Auntie Meiyue's endless umbrella purchasing in Taiwan. 

Was on our way back very soon, cause Yizhong NM was erm, very small?
Nothing much to see and try, so we decided to head back.
And we accidentally found this small alley, where we ended up to have a lil shopping spree. hahaha

Taiwan's night market often has all these small alley which are full of surprises.
It's like, after you walk into the alley there's a whole new world inside. HAHAHA


After the little shopping spree we had, finally heading back to hotel.
And we just have to visit 传说中的便利商店.
Marked the start of my own little adventure in the convenience store in Taiwan.
I'm so tempted to enter every single convenience store there. *神经病


RILA!!!!!

And the things we sapu for our first adventure in Taiwan's convenience store.
Nothing you can find in Malaysia. No way. *proud

I wanted to combine day 1 and 2 in one post,
but the amount of photos I wanna share, makes it impossible.
Choose lesser photos to share, I tried, and I just can't!

Sun Moon Lake and Fengjia NM coming soon!
Goodnight.

Case Study: Shipping Container Architecture

Shipping container architecture is a form of architecture using steel intermodal containers (shipping containers) as structural element. It is also referred to as cargotecture , a portmanteau of cargo with architecture. The use of containers as a building material has grown in popularity of the past several years due to their inherent strength, wide availability, and relatively low expense. We have also started to see people build homes with containers because they are seen as more eco-friendly than traditional building materials such as brick and cement. THE KABIN While we went on a trip to Sekinchan last month, we had a chance to stay at The Kabin, a container lodge in Sekinchan. It was a new experience for us and also a pleasant one. There are basically two different type of containers used at The Kabin. Their difference are in the length of the container. The shorter ones, with length of 6m are used for rooms for  2-4 person, while the longer ones, with the lengt

感动是个什么表情

感动是个什么表情? 泪眼汪汪 说不出话这样? 据一个不可靠消息,感动就是 要笑不笑要哭不哭这样的 想象起来的话 感觉很像脸部抽筋比较多. 我发现 我没有感动这个表情 是因为不够感动 还是不知道怎么表达 我看戏听歌看视频都可以乱哭 但是如果说是惊喜还是什么 我却很少会被感动到 虽然一部分原因是90%惊喜都会给我猜中啦 撇开视频电影音乐这些 还有亲情也例外 最后一次被感动 我也不记得了 也不重要是吧. 我记得以前有个人总是喜欢乱惊喜 也不知道哪来的习惯 然后10次 有8次给我猜中 其他两次 没有猜中 却出现了面瘫的情况. 反省之后觉得好内疚 别人那么用心安排的 就算扮一下感动也好啊 然后下定决心 如果以后还有这类情况 一定要尽力配合一下 结果,真的来了 然后我发现 尼玛姐真没有感动这个表情 -.- 还是感动点太高吗. 大家都惊喜的开心的 我就是以下的表情..... 唉. FAIL BIG TIME. 加上因为是很亲的人 就连假笑都省了就这样. 所以我是有病吗我也不知道. 虽然说 对这些没有意义的东西没啥兴趣 但是 能不能来个好心人让我感受一下感动是什么感觉叻 我试试看尽量关掉第六感配合一下. 结果连这个也变得和你一样吗? 我宁愿相信我只是没有遇到让我感动的人. 晚安.

Snippets of November

I'm not supposed to be here now, but I just talked to Mum,  and she was asking why hasn't she seen any photos of this and that,  and so here I am, eagerly showing you what I did in the past month. This blog was initially kept alive for my mum anyway, so here goes. November is mostly about Birnbeck (my site for my Final Year Project) and some Christmas market!! And also walking around town with the excuse of Christmas shopping, other than that it's all just snippets of daily things. Historical Georgian architecture market x Disco ball Cause why not.  Take note of my coursemate in the photo which gives an idea of how huge is this jetty.  View from my room, lying down on my bed. Literally.  And it's true that if you can see stars at night, it means there's no cloud on the next day. No cloud means the Sun is out, and in UK it also means cold af. Tried Couchsurfing
