Taiwan
Lol i am back!

wells...before i start on anything. Singapore's TV programmes SUCK! i only realized this after the Taiwan trip. they had like wth 100+ channels. ok some were cable tv channels but it's still damn alot compared to wat we hav...like can count with 1 finger. every night we can hav practically something to watch every minute from 9 - 1+ in the morning. Ytd night reached home and hais....channel 8 channel U channel 5.

Ok...on to happier stuff. Taiwan was a nice place. Lemme list out the good things i rmb
1) ok...as mentioned. TV channels
2) FOOD! 4 night markets we went all rocked! but not enough time to walk ard since it was a tour thingy. sianx
3) CLothes; phang wld be so envious lol china hardly has any shirts/pants suitable for singapore's weather hahaz. Taiwan's weather now is like early winter. So the summer/autumn stuff are like super cheap. n xi men ding hav really fashionable stuff. another plus point; my parents were there to pay muahaha :p
4) scenery...ok...maybe not much. they look ard the same as china scenery except a few more angmoh-ish structures that was built...i think when japan ruled taiwan. Not too sure. No pictures too coz i am lazy to put them on...
5)...i ll add in when i think of more.

on to the not too good memories
1) Bus rides!! HORRIBLE we had like 3/4 hrs of winding mountain roads. 3 pple from our group vomitted. N the tour guide went "Not bad...the last singapore grp got 11" WTH LA! when we reached the top, there was really nice scenery...took some pics...walked ard abit look at trees/plants (oh xuan hong wld love this)...den back down those long winding mountain roads... worth it? personally i dun think so.
2) Theme park. Ok...i admit i had fun at the water slide thingy n pirate ship. But other than tat. There's practically nthg else. There was this winding screw roller coaster thing that looked quite fun but they closed it coz winds were too strong. Overall. Far cry from other theme parks i have gone to.
3) Tour guide. haha tat guy's not bad lar. damn funny. whole day wear red n show thumbs down sign. In case anyone doesnt noe, it means "ah bian xia tai" lol. but at times he's really boring when he talks bout history of taiwan. den u ll see like the whole bus pple sleeping. For me n my brother, we juz plug on our mp3s and doze off.

On another note, taiwan pple (ok i shldnt generalize) my taiwan tour guide seems to hav alot of unhappiness in them/him... not happy with this not happy with tat. but once u look at their pple's passion and desire to get involved in their countries' politics...it's in fact rather scary.
4) Hotel breakfasts. Maybe it's coz we stayed at lousier hotels lar so yah they sux.
5)...

unlike phang, i didnt really miss home from the 2nd night. Maybe it's coz of the tv programmes keeping me awake every night. hais now i miss them.

Anyways for those who dunno. My piano exam was over b4 i went to taiwan. 2 days b4. dun wanna talk much bout how i performed. it was not quite good but i still hope i ll pass lar.
