Taiwan Trip Day 1

We have waited for this trip since last year june when AirAsia have their AirAsiaX promotion and we get the ticket approx RM500+ for each person.
On that day, we reached LCCT 2 hours before our flight for check in but suprisingly, there are hell lots of people flying to taiwan with us and we queued for one and a half hour to check in. By the time we reach our turn, it's time for boarding. Our flight will be departing at 9.50am and arriving Taiwan International Airport at 2.40pm.

Our first stop of this taiwan trip is GaoXiong. After arriving at Taiwan International Airport and collected our luggage etc, we purchased a taiwan telco card from airport and start inform our parents that we reached safely :D

Inside the HSR

We took shuttle bus from airport to TaoYuan High Speed Rail(HSR) station and take HSR to ZuoYing(GaoXiong). I would say the fares is slightly above normal price but it takes only 1.5 hours to reach gaoxiong rather than travelling by bus that takes u around 5-6 hours to reach ur destination.

We need to take MRT transit and walk for about 15mins in order to reach our MinSu (Hotel). The weather that night was 16 degree and that is just cooooool enaugh for us to walk.

but i think it taste normal only. those marinated meat just taste normal and nothing special to me.

Photobucket
If you want to taste taiwan 木瓜牛奶, u must try this 郑老牌 木瓜牛奶. They have been doing this for 39 years and still continuing. It's easy to be recognized as this stall is decorated with many cute cute cows and note the square square watermelon?? it's REAL and can be eaten.
