Taipei 2011 (Day 4)-20 Sep 2011



We woke up early early in the morning for hotel's complimentary breakfast before going for our soymilk & 2nd round of breakfast at Yong He again!We love the soymilk there!









Our itinenary of the day begins with Beitou for hotsprings!This is something I'm looking forward to!To rest & relax~ On the way there we saw interesting traffic,very tame dogs,people using the scenery there as a drawing background & the weather there is fab!L loves the weather there,she say it's natural aircon!Haha.

We chose to go to a private hotspring in one of the hotels here as the public one is tooo erm public?Anyway it isn't too expensive anyway,it was around $20/hr for 1 room!






After our 2hrs of hotspring-ing we headed to explore the area!Went to Hell Valley(the temperature there is so high the water surface was steaming constantly!) & tried the hot spring egg which L was talking about!But we were a little disappointed cause it's cold! :/ The store owner kept the hot spring egg in the fridge after cooking.I was expecting it to be freshly cooked & warm or something!








Next on our itinenary was Danshui!Didn't spend much time there though cause we still had Wu Fen Pu & Shilin on our list!Walked just a little bit,bought some souvenirs for family & friends,took neoprints & WFP was next!The old uncle at the neoprint shop was very friendly & funny!Lol.He even helped us choose the neoprint machine and decorated our neprint,very hip!












Shilin was our last stop for the day,it's also our last night market for this trip!But it's a pity that we were both VERY tired by day 4,we didnt walk as much as other night markets I feel!Bought some pineapple tarts as well to give as souvenirs (: As you can see,we're eating lesser & lesser each night!That's something I dont understand;I thought we would eat more & more!We heard from a taxi driver that Shilin is one of the most famous in the area so we would expect to see many tourists from Japan,Hong Kong etc as compare to other night markets!L wanted to visit Shilin cause they might be moved underground soon & the taxi driver said that they WILL be moved;the government there has already made the decision.Thus,by the next time we are able to visit again,we might only be able to see a underground Shilin! ): It's gonna feel so different.


Oh & I slept super early for day4;was really very very tired.Told L i'll take a 5mins rest first & ended up not waking up after that!Lol.She woke me up at 2 or 3am in the morning to discuss a bit about last day's itinenary but honestly speaking I can't even think straight already.& eventually we decided to skip a temple so that we could wake up later.A bit wasted I know but it's just too tiring.It gets a bit more sad as each day passes cause the trip is ending! :/
