一夜台北

We have to wake up on 5.30am ,the next day for breakfast,
Makes no difference for us as this is our daily reveille timing .
After Breakfast,We took the four hour bus ride to 六福
Our scrumptious meal b4 going to 六福村.
How to play all the rides after such a heavy meal?
So We decided to visit the Safari first to allow digestion .
But we got high while we saw the first attraction and
decided to take the Sahara Twist ride as a appetizer.
We took the train ride around the Safari.
It was about 20min long.




I witnessed this in Shanghai zoo and I saw it again here.
Horny Lions.

After the slow and boring train ride,We can't wait to try something that is thrilling.
Hence we tried the Ring of Fire,The 360 degree turn around ride.
Then ,we tried the Pagoda Revenge Free Fall ride.
Its not as scary as the one in Genting.
I had a lot of fun playing this ride .
Its more than it meets the eye.
It flipped me up side down while it spins.
Sadly ,This adventurous ride was closed for maintenance on that day.





After a day of craziness and high time in the theme park.
We head on to Taipei for the night.

We checked in to our hotel -Hotel Flowers.
We were so fortunate to be given the family room and I get to sleep on the king size bed.
The bath room is also very spacious.
You can choose to shower in the cubicle or in the bathtub.
Not to mention that there is a plasma tv too.
Everything was perfect until I encountered something spooky and wasn't able to sleep well through the night.
Our hotel is just walking distance from the well known Xi Men Ding

There wasn't much to shop as the price range of the products
are much higher than the ones in the night market .

We stopped by a Bubble Tea shop and wanted to try out the different bubble teas that wasn't available in Singapore.
Its quality was indeed comparable to Koi.
Next Stop:Shilin Night Market.
We went to the reputable dessert stall
and tried their pudding and ice dessert.
Mango Pudding.
The Mango just melts in your mouth.
Milk tea with Red Bean.
Its the hot seller but I don't think it taste very nice.
Another hot seller Peanut Ice with rainbow topping.
You will get sick of the taste after while.
Next, we went to the Shilin Food court.

Another Local Cuisine-Crispy Chicken!

We spent way too much time on food hunting and only left one hour to shop.
We ended up running around like mad men,trying our best to do last min shopping.
In the end,I got separated with my friends when they decided to wait for me at the end of the night market while I continued shopping.
but I couldn't find them there.
Hence ,I went back to the hotel on my own.
If only they heed my advice and not spent too much time on food,
It will be a fruitful shopping trip.
