Taiwan Trip 2010

Had a fruitful and fun Taiwan trip. Done much research for the 9 days holiday. In summary, we have done the following:

(a) Visited 5 night markets: 士林夜市,师大夜市,六合夜市,南华夜市,基隆庙口夜市;

(b) Travel around using the MRT (捷运), Highspeed train (高铁), local train (台铁), taxi, as well as local buses (客运) to many places (both the city as well as country side);

(c) Stayed in three hotels in total. Enjoyed very much what the boutique hotel is able to provide + great services;

(d) A lot of shopping. Bought much stationery and 30 Chinese books and DvDs;

(e) Something that is pretty unique - 放天灯;

(f) Abler to watch the World Cup everyday. All the daily 3 matches were available live in all the hotels that we had stayed in with no extra cost;

(g) Tried many food from the street, 便当 in train as well as in a restaurant;

However, we just manage to cover a small percentage of what Taiwan is offering. Will definitely visit Taiwan again to explore other interesting places, soon :-)
