    Walk around Taiwan 2009

    Trip start from Sabah, my room. This is taken from my dressing table mirror reflection. My room at home is like a dreamy British country style. With flowers, fruits, animals, mini tea sets, wooden furniture, musical box, carpet and my cat Whiskey. As a little girl I dream that I am a little princess living in this enchanted cottage deep in the woods. There are lots of cute little animals, springs, green trees... ok.. I got affected by Disney quite a bit. Who won't? Growing up watching all those cartoons.

    This time to reduce weight of hand luggage, i decided not to bring my camera along. Just use my hp camera. I find that my hp can take great pic when the place is brightly lit. If it is dark or dim...the picture come out not so sharp and clear. Anyway, I am just thinking taking some random pics. Some nice places I went to do not allow me to take pictures. Include most restaurants, shopping complex..........-_-....shop keeper in Taiwan very straight. See u take camera out immediately tell u : Sorry no camera allowed.

    This is the new KK international Airport. Very nice. Like mini KLIA.

    Line up to get my boarding pass.

    Mummy and little brother. He is so naughty ....not even 2 years old already know how to run faster than adults.
    Grandpapa and me. (*^-^*)<<< onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV-bAHIWc3KLytye_FljbTPczg14HiF66yekbHYycRVL2EMw9z8i2jOTJmGd9k_sKJvZxTYmrjMkCGH5CBPKnyZ_k2xRzLESEqAV2AK0NQE4SamlQk-11eAxv1ukpJC_S_fQZNsB1ybAot/s1600-h/P160409_17.00.jpg">Fly fly for 4 and half hours finally reached at 12 midnight. KK - Taipei. Haha.....Then sleep....next morning wake up, on the dining table is my favourite: Jiao zhi or shui jiao or dumpling!!! It is so delicious!!! Oh......I am missing it again.

    After looking through all my pic, I felt kind of regret. I missed some great pics. Wish I had taken more pics. In my uncle's new car. Forgot what brand and what model. I am a total idiot when come to cars. But I really like his car, big, spacious and I love the functions. The GPS is so cute. Keeping telling u: in front got camera, slow down ur speed. Turn left here. etc. What is so fun is the rear camera function. As u reverse the screen in front will show u the back view. Super easy to park u car. Next time I wanna buy a car like tat or fix such gadget.

    Human live advertisement. Now adays posters, road side advertisement not allowed. So got a lot of walking advertisement now. PPl will be standing at the road side with sign boards telling ppl where got new shop, where got sales.

    Tian Mu: Frea Market. A lot of people made their own crafts and stuffs to sell here. So many ppl wearing thick jackets. COld cold...windy day.

    Some girl wearing such cooling attire. Amzing. Maybe she was too hot in selling her handy work.

    A lot of people in Taiwan whether is male or female all got very good skin. Second hand stalls.

    Ancient tree. The road side views are so different from Malaysia

    Me me...Eh...so pale.
    My little cousin. First year Medical student. He went to top schools in Taiwan and now in top medical school too. I am so proud for him. Haha... He is so cute. " V" sign.

    My favourite converse shoes.

    I love this wireless TV!! Can view TV news while in the car. Other than those special channels the free channels all can be viewed.

    Taipei 101 from afar.

    In Uncle's place. the decorations on the wall is all made by him. He is the Sunday carpenter .

    Special Korean bread. It looks just like any other normal bun.

    But it taste like Chinese chewy bun. Very very chewy , bouncy and QQ. ^^~~~ I love it. Such a delicious bun that I never ever taste before.

    Cosco in Taiwan. SOmething like Tesco. But what amaze me about this store is...the product sold here. They sell a lot more variety than other stores. Even sell soil, metal bridge to be placed in the garden. Maybe my experience is too little. I never see such store before. Or Taiwan in some area higher standard of living.
    The products sold here is of higher quality. Only sell branded items. They display a whole lot of clothing just like those in "Giant". But Gian is very cheap from RM1-50. But here when I approach what amaze me is...all of it got brand. Cheapest is Rm100!!! Adidas, Nike, Polos...etc.. I am like eh...........even underwear is CK. What kind of super market is this? And those cosmetics like Esteen, Elizabeth Arden are all packed up as a set selling in packs and at cheaper price than here. Wholesale ~~~~~~~~~~~

    Heard Taiwan got very good badminton racket.

    Doraemon's favourite ~~~ This supermarket's sampling very generous. Gave me a huge piece. Haha.
    Wi\ne section.
    Beef beef
    Kimchi~~~ I love kimchi!! Super delicious. Come to think of it my acceptability of food is very high. I can eat any flavour from any country I am all ok. I even fall in love with some too. I know some ppl hate food from some other country. The taste is weird , never taste before and don't really like. Like the famous durian.

    Big prawn salad!!
    My favourite water melon.
    Sushi~~~~~ we grab some back for supper.
    Hot oven chicken
    Ok....Was too lazy to take photos...thats why suddenly jump to this: My grand pa peeling bamboo shoots. He is a farmer who plant all sorts of things. He is very healthy and strong till now. Guess fresh air, nice environment in countryside is very good for health. With a bit of farm work is good exercise too.

    Oooh....found something cute: My dad's super old photo on a plate: Visit to Hong Kong.
    Grandma's kitchen. Looks the same as 10 years ago.
    Living room. Such a big house , 4 storeys of empty rooms and only 2 old people.

    Grandpa's tea sets and bamboo chairs.
    Since 10 years ago, grand parents already fix solar water heater. Free hot water. No need gas. Ah.........such a nice long hot bath. Sob sob. I am gonna miss the bath tub. Why oh why...Malaysia seldom can find bath tub at home/condo. Wish next time I can move to a home with a nice bath tub.

    Grandpa very shy. Don't let me take pic. So I am like paparazzi. early in the morning he took his little motor bike and ride to his plantation to pluke some vegetables for the day.

    Fresh vegetables from the farm.

    Right outside the house is a huge road.
    Right outside my grandpa's place is a bus stop. HAHA > vERY convenient. Just sit at ur own home wait for bus to come and jump in.
    Here is Pu Li. The famous place where all the tour guides will bring u to if u visit Taiwan. Here got the famous Sun Moon Lake, Formosa Cultural Village, villa, moutain etc. Nice food, great views, all types of fruits are super sweet.


    Auntie's little car for work. After her husband retired and children all working. Auntie decided she can do what she want to do. Be a farmer. She happily bring some workers with her go to mountain and plant vege.

    Traditional chinese meal at home. Hard to explain what they are, but i will try. Bamboo shoots ( same as those Panda eats), now then I know got so many types of bamboo.-_- Got dried liver, dried duck meat, fish soup, porky balls.


    penang store at the road side. The transparent glass store. Next time I gonna buy some and try. Wonder what is it like.

    Me looking dead tired on the bus. That day was extremely cold and I did not bring any jacket with me. I thought it was Spring, just need a light jacket...didn't know it is so cold. I need thicker jacket. The whole time i am thinking about I am warm I am warm....-_-......Never expect the mountain area to be this cold.
    Interior of bus. Through the whole trip I watched the whole series about the glorious history of Taiwan baseball team. Then I find out they actually won some international championship in baseball.
    Passing through the high way, can see the green padi field underneath. This is somewhere near... Tai Chong I guess.
    From here can see the bullet train 's track. Next time I wanna try that.


    This is the pretty condo around my aunt's place. Kind of like the design. I don't really such design in Malaysia.

    Night night. Time to sleep. I am considering to built a Japanese style room in my own home too. I find it is really really useful and comfortable. It is Spring in Taiwan now but still kind of chilly at night when it rains. That blanket is for winter, super big and heavy. Remains me when I was a kid I love to hide in the huge blanket.

    Looks interesting that trip! What airlines flies to Taiwan from KK ?

    Tiffany said...

    The usual Malaysia Airline, the only airline available if I am not wrong. That trip is just going back home for a visit. Due to time constrain we did not go around much.
