That was the start of my solo trip to Taiwan, Taipei..... I lost my way finding my hostel all because i hopped on the wrong bus. It's a lucky thing that i only carry a red bag-pack so don't really mind walking.
The hostel is on 8th sty.... I was welcomed by a group of men from different nationality.... Then met the owner by the name of Layte who happened to be a nice lady.... The room was simple and fuss-free... Can't expect much from USD25/day.... The shared toilet is clean as well so really can't complain much....
Since i reach the hostel around 1pm+, i decided to roam about taipei city....
First stop - Taipei 101... Walked a long way just to find the MRT coz the Taiwanese called it 'zi yun' then some passerby direct me to the train station. Luckily i found someone and she re-direct me again... what a day!!! I was really hoping that my next 3 days in Taipei would not be roaming aimlessly....
Taipei 101 is impressive... The elevator is the fastest in the world though i don't really appreciate the view since it is whole skyscrapers which i will see often in my country...
Bought belated b'day gift for my mum - a jade ring with gold embroidered lady bird.... Then send postcards to my nephews that never reach my home (sigh)..... For once, i am breaking my own boundary for being open and yet Taipei 101 disappoint me.....
Met nice passerby that stopped and talked to me because they are curious of my head-scarf..... While on my way back to the MRT, i met an Indonesian old man in the bus that happily talked to me in Bahasa Indonesia... What a day....
Next stop is the youngsters shopping area - Wufengpu.... There are soo many lanes of shops selling almost everything that i got confused and had headache.... Still, bought for myself 3 tops and a bag...ahhh...
Then i went back home coz feeling really tired and need some time to plan on my next day trip....
