Taiwan Part I Day 1 & 2

This recess week can never be any better than seeing boyfriend after 6 weeks! It was an impromptu trip to Taiwan but I’m really happy that I have decided to go over this recess week! Nothing beats having you around with me, doing all the crazy things together. The night before I fly, I was too excited that I couldn’t go back to sleep after waking up at 4 plus in the morning. It’s my first time traveling and taking the airplane alone. I guess I have really grown to become more independent? Or maybe because I know that there is someone waiting for me over at the other end. J

Finally the plane landed and I couldn’t wait to get out of the plane to meet the boyfriend who might already be there waiting for me. I walked at the fastest speed to wherever I need to be and tried connecting myself to the wifi. Haha sign of me being too anxious to see him!

After walking out of the arrival hall, I started looking around for boyfriend everywhere. Before walking out, I was already feeling so excited and at the same time thinking about how it would be like when we meet! So, we finally met and I’m beyond happy! First photo we took after seeing each other!

Headed down to the bus terminal after getting the phone card and everything else. Took a bus down to Taipei Main station and then to Ximending to check in to our hotel. Though the bus ride was super long, and both of us were super tired but I guess we were too excited and happy to rest on the bus.

The hotel that we stayed at was located near Ximending so it wasn’t that bad for us to get around everywhere. Made a quick purchase of our toiletries and check-in to the hotel and headed out for dinner. Both of us were already starving after 1 whole day of journey. Boyfriend brought me to had duck meat. Didn’t eat it the last time round when I went Taipei. And thankfully, I am able to bite already if not it would be a torture to see so many things and not being able to eat. We decided to have an early night rest after walking around.

Our OOTD for day 1! 

On the second day, we headed down to Jiufen and Shifen. Even though both of us had already gone before but boyfriend is still very nice to go there with me again. Just because I wanted to put the lantern since I didn’t manage to do it the other time as it was raining heavily. And of course this time round with someone special, everything else feels different! Since it’s going to be a long journey, we headed for brunch before going over. It takes us about an hour plus to reach Jiufen as we took bus up there. First time taking public transport up to Jiufen. This may be the third time I’m there, but it’s feels so different each time. First time round with secondary friends, second time with grandma and sis and now with the boyfriend. As soon as we reached, we started taking photo again.

Forever stuffing myself with so much food over there. We ate everything that is worth trying and eating again from the beginning till the end of the street. And, I even managed to get a pair of shoes over there! Thanks to boyboy to help me to pick it. Always like the weather there because it’s so cooling except for the rainy weather.

I guess I’m really quite unlucky whenever I’m there because it never fails to not rain. So we headed over to Shifen after Jiufen. The weather doesn’t look very promising so we quickly rushed over to the sky lantern shop to get ours written and all. We managed to have ours put before the rain falls. Yayy! After that, we just went around to start taking photos of ourselves! Spamming as many photos as we can.

Then, we headed down to Wufenpu to do some shopping. Didn’t really shop much but managed to get a pants for myself as recommended by boyboy. J And it turns out that it looks pretty good on me! J Boyfriend with good taste! Didn’t really shop much because there aren’t many things around since most clothes are meant more for cold weathers and I doubt I can really wear it back in Singapore. Had our dinner nearby and headed back for late movie! The first movie I watched in Taiwan and after so long: Young Detective Dee Rise Of The Sea! 

Boyfriend did a photo of me in Ximen station now and then! Quite funny.
