Trip to Taiwan (1)

our trip starts from December 24th to 31st 09'...

It's a '8' days trip...
heh...it's actually only 6 days trip if don't count on the time we spent on plane...

First day,
took a afternoon flight to Taiwan.
by the time we reached there, it's already time for dinner...


Our first destination was Shihlin Night Market
we ate our dinner there...

fried oyster~

Have you seen white bitter gourd before?

drinks...taste sweet and sour~ =p

look at the HUGE hot dogs...
it taste good ^^

i don't know what is this called...


Christmas Eve with Christmas cap~ =)

I saw a caroling team sang songs along the road,
and it flashed back my memories during caroling... :)

Next day,
Christmas day...
I thought there's public holiday; but in Taiwan they don't declare it as their public holiday...
everyone went to school and work as usual...
I can't feel any Christmas feel at there...LOL...



National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (国立中正纪念堂)

three of us~


we saw different 'army trainees' with different uniform practice marching at there...
not so sure are they the army trainees, just guessing XD


statue of Chiang Kai-shek (蒋中正 / 蒋介石)


Taipei's Martyr's Shrine
a place to visit the solemn handover ceremony of the guards...
the guards will stand for an hour without moving;
every hour there's a marching ceremony and they will take turns to stand like a statue~



Next,

Yehliu Geopark
this is a place to visit the natural rock formations



what does this looks like? =)



things they bought from 7-eleven
There's a lot of 7-eleven there...
almost every street has at least one...
along the journey, we saw uncountable 7-eleven~=D



Culture dance show

In Taiwan, there are 14 tribes.
the culture dance show was perform by the 阿美族...
The people of this tribe has the fairest skin and they are tallest among all the tribes...

The second day, we traveled by bus from the North to the East...
spent long time in the bus from destination to destination...

That's the end of day one and two, i've uploaded part of the photos to my Picasa already...
