Taipei, Mar 2010

Finally managed to upload a lot of pictures from my taipei trip. Really took me a long long time to do it, plus I'm also just back over the good friday weekend from a road trip with family. Won't explain too much though, took a even longer time to load & just save the comments, got tired after explaining for the 1st few pictures.. So I let the pictures do the talking.. Yawn.. =_=

At the gateholdroom before boarding. Looking mighty happy cos its the first time I'm travelling with the rest.

Landed in Taoyuan airport, luckily its not crowded & we managed to clear immigration in a breeze.

Siang Hock boss & his taiwanese friends (Eric, Sam & Motor) welcomed us on arrival helping to load the luggage onto their cars.

Piddles taking her own sweet time posing for a picture while the rest waited patiently.. :P

Their infamous shilin night market. Lotsa games stalls from the past.

Crowded as hell.

Good thing we came in a group, this way we can share and sample more street goodies. Yoyo ready for her first bite, heh heh..

Their chicken chop was huge, very generous with their servings, unlike the ones here so miserable.

At one of the popular dessert stalls trying out their ice kachang style kachang, haha!

A suggestive picture hang on the wall, can you tell at first glance?

Their ice shavings are flavoured nothing like ours. Like thin pieces of cloth huh.

They are also crazy for stuffies from vending machines.

Actually I think our popiah taste better.. :P

Masks from Etude House. One for each night.

Using mahjong tiles to play bingo..

Can you spot the maltese?

Their herbal mutton soup.

They had a chihuahua at the shop, cute mascot. Plenty of pedigree dogs there, hardly see any strays.

At Danshui Fisherman Wharf near Eric's apartment. Sam taking picture with a stunt. Hee..

Arrived at Eric's apartment, its like a holiday house, with own garage! Over 40 bungalows, with security guards too. Damn rich. $_$

Me sharing room with Yoyo, spacious!

The next morning went down to the lving room for breakfast, big room too. Eric on the right.

A ryokan style bedroom next to the living room where the 3 gals slept.

Camwhoring in the room.

On the way the 101.

Can't resist carrying Eric's 7 month old baby boy. Eric say his head also as big as mine liao.. :P

Don't attempt to eat the black ink pasta if you are going on a date!

Ya, the bowl is bigger than Piddle's head!

Inside 101. Piddles has phobia of heights!

The long queue up.

Waiting & getting bored..

Observatory.

At the very top of 101, 2nd tallest building in the world.

There was sand storm in China and it affected the neighbouring countries like taiwan, japan & korea. So hazy and dusty.

Can't even see a thing. :(

101 tea break time.

Gerri's pills, so colourful..

Where is Piddles?

Shitload of motorbikes on the road.

Sam with the gals.

Their karaoke lounge looking very posh & highclass..

And each room comes with its own toilet.

And 3 touchscreen units.

After shower, saw leng & lindy playing pingpong on the dining table.

Piddles has a go at it too, not very good at it though..

What a big yard.

Typical taiwanese style houses where the main gate is one level down.

Smack!!

Piddles loves to try different angles of photography.

Love this pix.

At the subway.. Danny looks like he's lecturing SHock, heh heh..

Their fried octopus comes with different flavours like seaweed, plum powder etc where you can choose & mix yourself, mad tasty!

Black sauce preserved bird egg, looks gross but taste nice ley!

Potato rings, just like potato chips.

Beancurd with different flavours & peanut soup.

We also wanna leave a mark on their walls.

What is it??

Hee..

Dennis's favourite game.. :P

This one's for you, OB!

Yoyo & her bigass shades.. :D

Lindy looking cool..

Never seen my backview before, hot right? Hahaha!

Peach blossoms!

Maltese & poodle.

Jared would love this!

Bubble tea!

Smelly toufu!

This is the best fried mushroom I've ever tasted!

More photo stunts.. -_-

SHock dragging the dustbin to house the camera..

Lindy joining in the fun too..

Ximenting.

Messiest graffiti cafe I've seen.

White bitter gourd!

Their famous mee sua, crowded whole year through..

Went go kart at night..

Super windy

Look at our messy hair!

Skinnest racers you seen..

Yeah!

SHock's peeps.

Supper time.

In the dead of the night, not a oncoming car in sight.

This was my ride in Eric's car, Honda accord 3000cc. Super power & comfy. Dusty due to the sand storm.

Extra lane created just for motorbikers.

Arriving at Jiufen.

Ferns on the ground in the parking lot. My camera is super powerful!

Pant pant~~

Piddles loves Pug!

Old theatre in the background.

In a tunnel leading to a restaurant..

Dessert time again..

Tasted like tangyuan..

More chihuahuas..

Piddles, Roy & Jared..

Who likes this stunt? Haha!

Pig's blood, yucks..

Lindy said this pix makes her look naked.. Muahahaha!

Lady boss ok?!! With lotsa celebrities visiting her fishball stall..

We told her Danny is the ambassador to Zimbabwe, and wishes to take photo with her. She suddenly took off her glasses and viola!

And whipped out her own cammie for us too..

Whoever goes there please keep a lookout for Danny's picture! Hahah!

Pork, fish, sharkfins, octopus balls..

Sleepy baby..

Grilled mushrooms..

Resting our tired feet.

Mua chees..

Ice cream popiah with peanuts shavings.. Taste weird though..

Piddles is a sucker for vintage stuff.

View from the top.

Yoyo new brolly with lace!

On the way the Yeliu.. Tunnel in the hill, fascinating..

Family of 3 sitting down for a break, so relaxing..

Goofing around again.. Piddles so bad, always make the rest try out silly actions..

Poor Yoyo too, being blown again by Lindy..

Now she's being squeezed by Piddles, ahahahahaaa! Looks real right!

The so called Queen's head, looks like Cleopatra to me..

Along the coastal road..

So interesting.. There's this little corner for girly photo taking in a accessories shop. So good right?!

The rest went for a haircut so Piddles has to call Gerri to rush over to help her take photos, sweet of her!

Can tell?

Yoyo wearing Danny's hat.

More goofing in the cabin.. Think the rest think we are crazy..

Notice the middle finger?? Heh..

Piddles misses their company already.. So fun together..

Yoyo's legs look very long here! Gerri engrossed watching Lovely Bones on my iphone..

Checking out their mos burger.

So cute right? Just like in Japan, they really take the trouble to present their products to attact gullible gals like.. (see below).

Yoyo loh..! She has soft spot for them. Cute bottles of cream brulee in cold pack in the form of the cutest handbag.

See, crazy over mos burger.. =_=III

Ghostly figure relaxing on the sofa, at 3am in the morning!

Keeping a straight face, trying very very hard not to burst out laughing!

Just look at Lindy on the right, can't tahan. I want to laugh now..!

All packed and getting ready to move off at 4 for airport. Sniff..~

Groupie shot.

Eric is one of the nicest guy Piddles encountered. Thanks so much for your hospitality & comfort ride!

Hugz to Boss SHock.

Bye bye guys, who're continuing their 2nd leg of the trip.

Overall trip was good, but the company's the best!
