I had 2 clear days in Taipei but we stayed at Monarch Hotel at Tao Yuan. It's an hour away from town. We chilled out, we shopped at XMT and Shiling as usual..
Some of the shoes i bought in Taipei
Then we headed to LA, California (Anaheim Hilton @ Orange County), where we nearly had 1 3/4 clear day. I ditched the idea of heading to Disney Land though it was a 8min walk away cos i figured i'm not ready to pay about SGD$80 to see a few characters parading down in Mickey, Minnie, Pluto costumes, knowing they are just human inside afterall. It's too sunny too.. Perhaps when i have a Narita again, i might try going to the one there. Worth noting is that everyday at 9.30pm there'll be fireworks. It's not a miserable 5-8min show. It lasts a good 15-18min. So, forget about rushing to watch NDP's firework. *Yawn*
Shopping's good in LA. We went to Brea Mall.. Abercrombie & Fitch, Coach, Bath and Body works, Victoria Secret, Mac Shop, 2 deptartmental stores; Macy's and Nordstrom.. One day is not enough.. But if it's 2 days, my money will not be enough. Either way, it's bad.. :(
When I went back to Taipei, i suffered from shopping overdose. I didn't shop much or hey, could it be cos i'm dead broke? Most likely.. So 2 of the gals wanted to go Hello Kitty Cafe and i just followed.. Food sucks, expensive too! Good to go just once and that's it.
My previous trip to Taipei i missed out on some Taipei local food and i tried some this time round. Ai Yu= Norm drink ( maybe i tried the wrong stall) Legend Bubble Tea= Nice and fragrant! Chou tofu= killer after taste.. Even a couple of hours later, i could 'smell M'sia Longkang smell around me.. Puke..
