Taiwan (Taichung) day1

Wee!! I'm here to blog about my trip! =D    Are you as excited as me?
Since the Osaka photos are still with YW, I'll blog about the Taiwan trip first instead.
Are you ready for the journey? Let's go!!

#1
 Photo of us in Kansai airport Osaka

Love the shirt we are wearing?? We looked for it everywhere for at least 10 shops and at last we found one.
 Kyoto 
I thought it's a common souvenir in every tourism spot but I was wrong. 
I guess it's a bit outdated and old fashioned?? =D
We were quite disappointed that we couldn't find the one with "I ♥ Osaka" hahaha!!
If you were me, would you like to buy this shirt as souvenir?

Acting cute while waiting for the time to pass~~

We took Jetstar (economic flight) for the first time. 
It's a small plane that only carry 180 passengers at one shot.
Not a very pleasant flight but is still recommended if you want to save more money for shopping XD

The meal we had in Jetstar.
The Vietnamese Curry and Japanese Curry. 

The flight took around 2 hours and 30 mins and we reached Taoyuan airport at 7pm+.
Luckily we took the meal during the flight because the journey from Taoyuan to Taichung by bus is 2 hours+! 
It was almost 10pm by the time we reached our destination. =[

#6
Look at the long queue behind me...And my tired face...

We missed the chance to go 逢甲夜市 (Feng Jia Ye Shi) because it was too far from our hotel and worst thing, we found the hotel that we booked but our friends who we agreed to meet in front of the hotel had not even checked in yet!
With no wifi and no international line........
We cannot contact them at all.... *sobs*

 YW and I decided to visit the nearest night market 一中街 (Yi Zhong Jie) while waiting for our friends to arrive. 

#7
 Yi Zhong Jie Street 

The night market is so liven up by various shops selling various stuffs from foods to apparels and shop keeper who enthusiastically screamed and came out with all sorts ideas to attract customers to visit their stalls. 
Taiwan’s night markets play such a vital role their daily life!

The braised meat and organs on a stick

These snacks are popular among the Taiwanese but I would not want to stuff these into my mouth.
Would you like to try it if you read Pig's Blood Cake, Duck's tongue, Chicken Hearts?
Other tasty tidbits on offer include chicken feet, chicken heads, pig’s cartilage.
I tried the Duck's tongue just for the sake of wanting  to tell others 
"I KNOW WHAT DUCK'S TONGUE TASTE LIKE!" =D
But I failed by spitting it out after chewing several times. haha!
No ordinary humans would survive trying these~~ (no offence)

#12
 Stalls selling Crispy Chicken

#14
Apparels

There are so many shops selling apparels for such a reasonable price ranging from TWD200--TWD400. 
Prices out of these range would be considered expensive. 
Even if it's TWD250, you can still negotiate with the seller to TWD200! 
Thus, smile more and negotiate more!XD

We headed back to the hotel but our friends have not reached yet. We were panic as it was almost 12am and we were so tired. Luckily there were wifi at the corner of the hotel and we managed to reach them and found out that they have the hotel changed. =.=
And so we reunite with them and that's the end of day one in Taiwan.
