【台北旅游】 TAIWAN TRIP JUNE'17

Hey ya'll! I know that it's been long since my last update and I'm back to do a little sharing with what I've been up to for the past few months. I basically traveled to Taiwan (again, I know) and the States.

Just a heads up that the following post will not be an informative one but just a casual sharing.

I hope ya'll will enjoy reading it regardless!

This is a 13 days, 12 nights Free & Easy trip. If the places we visited interest

 you be sure to go visit! :)

We arrived and made our merry way way from the airport to our AIRBNB location at Zhong Shan (中山）Mrt Station. Our airbnb was located about 10 minutes away from the Mrt. I would say that it's rather inconvenient due to the several narrow roads.

But Zhong Shan is great location as it is located close to the central areas such as Xi Men Ding (西门町）.

Here's a Taipei Mrt map for your reference!

First thing to do is to shop!

Swatching in TodsTods.

Long Time Ago Cafe

Talk about an adorable meh meh drink.

(p.s. it doesn't taste special  tho)

They also serve food and desert here. I quite like the spaghetti i ordered, though i don't remember what it is lol.

We went in June so the Summer heat was intense we had frequent stops at cafes or grab drinks to fuel fuel up. This was one of the cute cafe we stopped by while were were shopping at the alleys of Nanjing Fuxing. Which by the way is great place for youngsters who are into cafes, chillex and a couple of cute unique stores.

Another highlight of the trip was definitely our visit to Taipei 101 Starbucks on the 35th level!

The view was awesome and the lighting was great for photos. 

For sure a two thumbs up recommended!

Here are some pointer for those who are keen on visiting:

1) Make a reservation at least 1-2 days in advance ( if you stay in a hotel, you can have the concierge assist you, or else you can use the public phone)

2) Call this number: +886 2 8101 0701

3) Upon arrival at the lobby, they will issue you a queue number. You will go into the cafe based on that number. (So reach early and queue first!)

4)Time limit is 90 Mins

5) Minimal charge is NT$200 (apx.$9.50) per customer. (that will be a drink and a food item)

Of course, we didn't miss out shilin ye shi 士林夜市, xi men ding 西门町 and shi da 师大夜市! 

Since we were there for a good 2 weeks, we also visited Jiu Fen 九份, Shi Fen 十份 and Ping Xi 平溪. You can google up more details and how to get there if you are interested.

More photos to feast on.

If you're looking for some extra excitement, be sure to go to Leo Foo Village 六福村。

Its a rather popular amusement park with various exotic rides (many featured in running man!)

However i have to let you know before hand that it might be slightly complicated to get there (you need to ride their shuttle bus- need buy tickets), hence ensure to make you do sufficient research before heading there.

And that's all for our trip to Taiwan this June. Hope ya'll enjoyed reading and if you're going to Taiwan, have a great trip!

Bye Bye from the hippo family!
