Taipei 2011 (Day 2)-18 Sep 2011

Day2!L & I woke up early in the morning before heading to the complimentary healthy breakfast provided by the hotel (: The spread is actually not bad,but I only like the scrambled eggs.Lol.You can also choose to have either coffee or orange juice & make your own toast! :D

There were many people queuing for e movies very early in the morning!

Headed to Starbucks next for our second round of breakfast & for the caffeine as well!The Starbucks at Ximending was a freaking 4storeys! 0.0 It's a nice place to people watch if only we had more time on our hand. They also have cute souvenirs like Starbucks gummy & Starbucks homemade cookies which I totally forgot to buy til I saw the pictures after coming back to SG.

Even their KFC was a freaking 4-5 storeys! We were both very amazed by how big/tall their restaurants/cafes are,as compared to those in SG.

Found our way to their 24hr Carrefour after that, with the help of the many maps that L has printed out from Google.Their Carrefour is like..at least 7 storeys if I remember correctly & it has a very wide variety of things for us to choose from! We bought egg pudding to give as souvenirs cause that's something you cant find in SG!I think taiwanese really like egg pudding cause they even have egg pudding drink!

Before heading back to the hotel we went to Cosmed to get masks & also shopped a little at Ximending.The masks there are so much cheaper than SG! :D I also bought my first pair of new shoes there,but not very comfortable though.Had to limp back to the hotel after the whole day of walking at Wu Fen Pu cause it's soooo painful ):

After putting our things back at the hotel,we headed out again for Taipei 101 & had Din Tai Fung over there!I think it's very obvious we're tourists because the people who frequent DTF are mostly families,not young adults like us!Oh & the service at DTF is AWESOME!Only one word to describe,it's something I've never ever experienced in SG before.

We took cab to Wu Fen Pu after that due to time constraints& this is the only pic of WFP for the day cause we were both busy shopping after that :/ haha.I regret not buying a lot of things cause it's sooo cheap over there!By the end of the trip I only bought around 5pieces whie L got close to 20pieces!The only minus point was that there was MANY bikes zooming around & there were many times we had to drag each other into stores at the side for our own safety haha.

Headed to Raohe night market after that & you know how long we were looking for that place?! -.- A couple of blogs stated that it is just a bridge away but we could not find that bridge at all.Taking a cab would be ridiculous since it is supposedly just a few mins walk away & we were really lost but still,we refused to ask for directions.Lol.But anyway we managed to find it in the end.After walking round & round & round.I actually quite like walking round looking for places overseas cause you would not know what you would find at the next corner,everything's so exciting!

Our first stop at the local night market was Okonomiyaki!The uncle was very nice & friendly!It's also the only store where we sat down & eat,the rest were for takeaways back at the hotel cause our legs couldnt take it anymore.

The banana waffle is very much recommended cause it has been on a tv show before & even the president has been there!Plus the owner was very nice & made us milk tea while we were waiting for our order!SOOO nice right?! :D

& this is our supper for the night & sad to say,it gets lesser everyday.Dont know why though.Lol.Plus I think Raohe night market is nice cause it's quite organized in a way.Just 2 very long lanes at least you would not get lost;just go on one lane then walk back the other lane & you would get back to where you started.

& tadah,this is the 小人袜 I bought with the black monster in mind.Wahaha.mostly for ex-collegaues still at MBS & my mother took a few also.So cute right?!

L is super happy with the clothes that she has bought!We love the place so much we decided to squeeze WFP in another day of our itinenary! :D

& this is the end of day 2!
