Do not Press







Sunday, June 1, 2008
Finally i get to blog again...

its been a long trip...

landed on 高雄 international airport on the 13/05 at around 6am (if i remember correctly)
there is no time difference between taiwan and singapore...
but their 6am day looks like our 8am day

the first impression i have for taiwan starts at the airport...

"boy the airport smells like shit"

dunno wat causes tt shity smell at the airport but it definitely doesn't smell nice...

gotten a 2 hours bus ride to 恒春, where the camp is...
got to see the wonderful scenery of taiwan's southern part :)
didn't get any photos taken here as i'm busying sleeping (ha)

one culture for taiwan will be...
they simply just love 槟榔 (betel nuts) to the max!
the number of 槟榔摊 there is as many as the number of rubbish bins u find here in Singapore...
(and i'm not exaggerating)

though there are lots of 槟榔摊 in heng chun...
there is none 槟榔西施 over there...
heng chun is all full of ah soh (aunties), ah ma (grandma) and kin na (small kids)
very very very little teenagers :X

get to go outfield the second day (14/05)
to do service and support for the leaders course's navigation exercise
its on the one of the many many hills there...
managed to took a few pics on the place there (even though i'm not supposed to :X )

the rest of the days were all just missions after missions for the leaders,
as we are there to be the "enemies" for the leaders...
our mission continues like theirs...

sleeping at 8pm, waking up at 1am to prepare for raiding...
setting up traps and props during the day...
no life at all at tt point of time (吃不饱，睡不好）
details of the missions cannot be describe here as its highly sensitive
(its a military thing)

the thing fun about the outfield will be the ninja van visitng us...
no matter how well we can hide in the vegetation, they are still able to find us :)
food sold on the ninja van is really good...
but the disgusting part will be...
the oil they used looks older than me :X (now tts how unhealthy it is)

and when the R n R days were finally here!

went to 佛光山 in the day...
feel like a shaolin monk over there (lol)
spent the first night at 高雄...
guys like me who doesn't really like shopping went on a mini shopping spree at 高雄's 六合夜市...
guys tt like shopping went stalls by stalls to eat, buy accessories or watever things over there...

tk's guide for good food : at 六合夜市, look out for this fruit juice stall (its a 路边摊）with a cube shaped watermelon at its stall just in front of a 7 eleven...
order their 木瓜牛奶 for NT$50 (around SGD $2.50)
and u'll get to taste the world's best 木瓜牛奶! (i can guarantee tt)

at 六合夜市, i get to try the infamous fermented bean curd (臭豆腐)
the smell of 臭豆腐 is like rotten fish in fish market, or overnight garbage, but the 臭豆腐 is really crispy and all the sauce and gravy tts added to it make it taste really sweet...
the aftermath of eating 臭豆腐 will be...
the smell of "rotten fish in fish market, or overnight garbage" lingers in ur throat for a long time :)

tried their Si ling chicken cutlet...
its very filling (not to mention big)
watever si ling chicken cutlet u find in Singapore are all bullshit...
go taiwan urself and taste the REAL si ling chicken cutlet...

went to have fun at the 剑湖山 and try out the amusement park there... get the balls to try the "G-5" roller coaster ride, where the roller coaster went up, and plunges down near 90 degrees...
i felt tt my heart was being left up there (心痛 leh)

heading towards 台北 the next...
got to buy lots of local stuff along the way...
spend the night shopping at 五分埔 night market...
五分埔 is the place where u find clothes, clothes and more clothes...
pple like me who does speedy window shopping (those 走马看花 type） need 2 hours plus to finish all the stores over there...
imagine if u drop a shopoholic there...
i can assure u...
she'll need a week to finish walking through... :)

went to taipei's 忠烈祠 to view the change of guards from the taiwan's military.
忠烈祠 (Martyrs Shrine) is the place where they honour all the war heros who sacrifice their lives to win the war...
the change of guard is very good...



(this is not the one i've seen, but its somewhat similar)


headed to 故宫 next...
if the palace museum's treasure in beijing is rated A,
then 故宫's treasure will be rated as A***
故宫's treasure are all first rate treasures there...
my favourite piece of antique will be the 玉翠白菜 of from the qing dynasty ...

as taking pictures are not allowed in 故宫, i took this from the web :)

this 玉翠白菜 look really real...
its like taking the real 白菜 and plastic it...
tts how beautiful this piece of artwork is...

one of my friend asked for a gift tt symbolises taiwan... i wanted to give her 玉翠白菜, but as u all noe, this is national treasure... if i attempt to take the 玉翠白菜 out, i will not be able to reach singapore alive... lol (got her a replica anyway)

at afternoon...
went to 九份老街 for another round of shopping...
at this time, i'm out of cash already...
(yup, 3rd day of R n R and i'm broke already)
borrowed NT$2000 (around SGD $100) to continue to spend, lol...

last day of taiwan (yesterday)
went to taipei's 西门町 for a walk...
西门町 is taiwan's Orchard Road, Bugis village style...
(only its 10 times larger)
as its saturday afternoon, there are lots of pretty girls around :)
the quality of the beauty is nothing i've ever seen back home...
tired out the famous 阿忠mee sua over there as lunch...
its...
good i will say, try it out...

after tt...
i went to Soka Taiwan HQ for a visit...
as there are meetings going on, can't really went in...
went to the sales department instead, which is located at the separate building 2 blocks away...
had a chat with the WD at the sales counter there...
discover tt they are building a new HQ in taipei located opposite of 故宫!
(i remembered there a very big construction site opposite 故宫, so tt construction site is our
building... lol)

after this...
nothing interesting happened after this, touched down at Changi Airport this morning at 0030 hr...

with this i conclude my report on my taiwan trip...
i took some pictures from my phone... poor quality though...
will attempt to load up here soon...
with tt... adios!
:)
