Taiwan Trip, Part 6

第四天
Fourth Day

Breakfast in the morning:-
381

384
Milk with cereal.
We bought this the night before at the convenience store, so smart to do it this way. It very convenient to eat it like that. No need to worry about the unable to finish pack leaving behind, or even about the cereal 'lao hong'.

383
And they even design such a cute spoon for our usage.
So cute please!

386

385
As usual, the vainly girlfriend need to camwhore first before she can go out.

388
And then we got on the train, heading towards 北投!

389

390

391
At the station while awaiting for George to finish his business in the toilet.

392
Map of 北投!

Random stuffs that we spot along the way:-

393

394

396

And then we finally arrive at here:-

404
北投 Hot Spring Museum

And the museum show us how is like in 北投 in the past and what are most components inside the hot spring. I shall not bored you with all the pictures of the museum!

425
Hot spring!

427
Standing the midst of it.

428
The water feel warm when you touch, duh!! This is hot spring mahs.
Feels very comfty and all. And I spotted people soaking their feets in.
I wish I could do that, but I'm in tights! :(

429
Taking a picture with the hot spring.

431

432
A lot places offering private hot spring baths, there even hot spring hotels as well. But we didn't try. Not really part of our schedule, maybe the next round. :)

434

437
Then we settle our hungry tummies in McDonalds.
And you know what the best part? You ask for chilli sauce, the waitress told you that they don't have. When you ask for other type of sauces, like Sweet & Sour or Curry Sauce, they require to top up 50cents. Not that I don't have the money, just that I wasn't quite willingly to do it. After all, it all free here right in Sillypore! So we endure with the Ketchup! HAHA!

Last few snaps to end our 北投 stop!

439

440

442
And the Taiwan people even built their own hot spring themed MRT.
So cute!

443

444

445
Such a cute train!

460
And we visited 101 at night! This is a MUST GO!

461
Ticket counter.

463

464
It is too dark and misty and I hate the damn reflection on the glass! :(
Maybe a trip in the day time would be much more better. :(

477

478
We were given such controllers, so that we can hear and understand what the exhibitions are talking about. It is so cool that we can choose what the language that we wanted. 
So high-technology huh.

488
Me with a damper!
This is a model of it actually. The actual thing is suppose to hold the building, to make it stable. It weight tons, seriously! Thanks to dampers that we can visit the highest building feeling safe and stable.

491
Two stupid pictures of us and it marks the end our 101 trip!

Dinner next was done at a traditional coffee shop alike at our hotel downstairs. Been passing by so many times and I just wanted to try out the authentic taste of the food!
505

502

496
米粉汤

497
Some vegetables, I think is spinach.

498
Cockles.
Unfortunately quite a wrong choice to had it. They had it RAW, can you imagine it?

499
Intestines of Pig.

500

501
卤肉饭
George still hungry and he ordered the rice.

Apparently dining in such a place is not that cheap either. This meal cost us like close to $10. Was quite normal thou, but nonetheless, a good experience!

506

507
And bubble tea afters to fill up the remaining empty spaces inside the tummy!

Last part of the trip coming soon! :)
