Jet to taipei!

‘m back from our sweet jaunt ! Everything went well and smooth.

Babymoose is really such an adorable boy! We had so much laughter everyday.

It was raining on second day when we visit Yeliu. I booked a cab just a month before our Taipei trip. Saw a lot of comment about this uncle, he is not a tour guide, just a taxi driver. Giving us ride to different places with a fix price. Competition is huge over there, taxis are everywhere. I am glad that he found this way to survive.

The cab driver, Meeky age bout 50ish, I think. He can speak English a little. He reached our hotel at 9am as promised.

He is really talkative. The whole journey from our hotel to Yeliu, he basically never stops talking. He introduces every part of Taipei to us, explaining everything when we passed by. He really brightens our day despite the raining and cold day though. Most importantly, he is very honest! Babymoose dropped his iPhone in his cab when we alight at Yeliu, apparently we didn’t realize it. Had a hard time calling Meeky cos my handphone is not working! Bought a telephone card and tried to call him a few times, didn’t manage to get through him but we saw his cab at the pick-up point as per agreed ! And babymoose iPhone is with him! This really rated him triple stars. :DD

The first place he brought us to was Yeliu, the famous Yeliu Geopark where you can see the Queen’s Head.
After visiting Yeliu, we were brought to Jiu Fen. Jiu Fen is a small old town but I suppose it’s quite commercialized now. You can see a lot authentic food and houses. I really love Jiu Fen though.
We did this at Jiu Fen. So cute, isn't it?

Meeky also brought us to a very nice place to take sea view photo. It’s somewhere near the Ying Yang Sea if ‘m not wrong.
We were facing Pacific Ocean!

Close to evening, Meeky brought us to the last stop, Keelung Night Market. I really enjoyed the one day trip to Yeliu and Jiu Fen. It’s so much different from the city view.

Meeky charged us NT3000. You can contact him if you wish to do the same when you visit to Taiwan. He can pick you up from your hotel. His email address is meeky589@yahoo.com.tw
You may email him in English. Simple one will do! :)

I like 101 view!! Desperate for a sky diving, anyone?
Nice? I wuvvv it.
Walked pass XMD, it's filled with all 蕭敬騰's fans. Boo.. Right after our lunch at the toilet restaurant, we looked for the 听见辛福! A place that customize own music box. Here! We did ours for NT2200 (approximately SG$97). I really like it though, thanks ying ying !
Basically, really enjoy the short trip with him, we spent every single time together. Happy! We don’t bear to leave Taipei, kept thinking a way to extend our stay over there . 5 days is too short! Haha.

Worst part returning to Singapore, our flight delayed for 5 hours and I guess 4 hours flight is really too long for budget airline too. *pout!

Bye Taipei! Happy anniversary, darling. :D

Looking forward to zoukout and Thailand (phuket and Bangkok) with the girls on coming January!
