here's an update on my trip as requested by jasmine lee!
are you honoured?
cant really rmb what i did exactly on the days so this is gonna be a random post.
i think taipei's shopping is so much better than hongkong but hongkong has so much more things to do than taipei!
so the shopping and touring balances out :)
in taipei i visited:
taipei 101
shihlin!
wufenpu!
ximending (their levis are so cheappp!)
alot of random places the tour guide brought us to.
HOT SPRING!
oh i must talk abt taipei's hot spring.
its a public hot spring that means i stripped naked in front of 10 or so older women.
ive never seen so many saggy boobs and butts in my entire life.
it was damn embarrassing cos all of them were so comfortable being naked and were striding around the room like nobody's business plus they dont look at each other. and i was the youngest there!
the women were like "xiao mei mei ni bu yao pao tai jiu" (dont soak for too long)
they thought i didn't understand so they asked someone to translate... hahaha so embarrassing la.
once i went into the water i didnt dare to come out so i just sat there staring at all the boobs and butts...
but hot spring was really enjoyable i think i lost like 100g or so in it sweating!
OH I MUST SAY they were damn annoying cos when i was there they RAN OUT OF BIG TOWELS and so i had to make do with a teensy towel that couldnt even cover my boobs la...
oh btw ongs i love wufenpu!
i think i bought like 5 or 6 tops there and i love all the stuff i bought there:D:D
i like shihlin also hehehs especially the fooooood!
and i tried smelly tofu it isn't that bad really.
taipei 101 was really a waste of time and money.
go up there spend like 350NT$ and 1 hour!
just to cramp into the stupid lift with angmohs who make fun of the woman who introduced taipei 101 to us.
they think they cannot speak mandarin very great arh.
we can speak 2 languages they only can speak 1! so loser man
on wednesday we flew off to hongkong!
which is 3626843054 times cleaner than taipei.
easier to get around too!
i wouldn't mind living in hongkong if i could just get the hang of cantonese...
actually i wouldnt mind living in taiwan too if they would just clean their streets for once.
so in hongkong we visited:
OCEANPARK!
which was super fun even though i took all the rides alone... haha i think its so much better to take a rollercoaster/viking yourself cos there's no one to psycho you into getting scared.
i was quite fearless for once.:)
and they have the world's longest escalator. like 5 of them and we went up all the way. its really so long that i got scared to look down.
we went to the kiddy park and i sat on this ride with like 6 other screaming kids...
and i was laughing away so embarrassing all the adults were staring at me :(
visited the dolphins sharks sealions weird fishes and worms sticking out of the sand that are supposed to be fishes as well.
I LIKE THE DOLPHINS!
saw the way they train the dolphins its really cool.
the instructor just does the action like shaking his butt or turning around and the dolphin imitates him!
went to madame tussauds too!
spent only an hour there but it was so so so great.
rushed around taking photos with all the celebs...
brad pitt david beckham andy lau marilyn monroe. sadly they dont have paris hilton!
i thought they had cos i rembed seeing it on tv...
they dont have westlife/leonado dicarprio either so if ong went there she'll think its a waste of time.
but it was really fun cos when i stood next to the wax models i felt abit scared cos they seemed so real.
for some models they even provide props and costumes for you to dress up and take photos!
:D:D:D i like i like!
jasmine you must go madame tussauds when you're in hongkong okay!
oh btw its located at the peak which is covered in clouds... haha super cool.
on our 2nd last day in hongkong before we went to ocean park we went shopping!
took the mrt and the tram which was my worst experience in hongkong.
its so frigging cheap like 2HKD to go anywhere they want but its NON airconditioned.
doubledeckered but the each level is so short and small and there are prob less than 30 seats in the whole damned thing and 50 people squeezed into it?
plus it was raining so the floor was wet and the whole thing is like ancient man... grosss.
the stupid tram jerked and i fell onto a very old man...
halfway through my mom disappeared and i got really panicky thinking what the hell is she doing dumping me in the middle of nowhere?
the only good thing that came out of the tram ride was shopping!
passed by some shops and we decided to stop for some shopping... :):)
oh! hongkong's charsiew rice is damn bloody fantastic!
the charsiew is not dry like ours or artificially coloured.
on one day my mom and i dapaoed from this stall that only does takeaways but everybody queues up for its charsiew rice... and it was heaven man.
haha :)
okay im quite sick of talking abt my trip already.
shall update more when i upload the photos!
yesterday was sucha busy day.
church in the morning and i actually went for the sports day thing! dressed in jeans and heels...
my feet are blistered and ugly now.
watched shrek 3!
it is as funny as potc 3 and as boring also.
haha.
