Taiwan Trip 7 (June - July 2010)

It is our last day in Taiwan... We'll be hoping on the bus straight to the airport tomorrow.. so it is our last day exploring Taichung..

Breakfast time!! It is so nice that the 7-11 in Taiwan are filled with all sorts of instant foodstuff, you can settle your breakfast there everyday and have something different everyday~

We're off to LuGang..we bought bus tickets and head there from Taichung

 

 

 

A small village with interesting stuff~ I have nothing much to say, the pictures tell it all..

 

 

After LuGang, we went to ZhongShan Departmental store.. Why were we here?? Coz, it has nice toilets!!

Seriously~~

 

 

These were all taken in the toilets... nothing much about the store.. just the toilets..

 Then, it is dinner time~~

Getting my favourite fried mushrooms... on my arms are cheese potatoes and winter melon tea.. My favourites...

Going back tomorrow...

10 places that I would love to go again

Heyo, I'm back to continue my list of "10 places that I would love to go again".

Number 1

Hong Kong

This has always been my top favourite place as a TVB fan... People say it's a really hectic and stressful place to be in but then.. I still like it.. after visiting the country for a handful of times, I never stop liking this place.. With this in the picture

it definitely deserves the very top spot in my list.

Number 2

Shanghai, China

Well, I really like developed cities.. The last time I was here, I only spent 2 days as I was following a tour.. Would definitely love to come again and stay for a week or so..

Number 3

Taiwan

Been there last year, enjoyed and would like to go again years later to see the difference.

Number 4

Hangzhou, China

For those who haven't been here... It's beautiful!!!

Number 5

Beijing, China

I did promise my mom that I'll bring her to the Forbidden Palace again after the tantrum that I caused when I was 5(or 6) resulting us(the family without my brother, yet) never got to see the exciting parts of the palace.. Well, it was not my fault that the place is humongous and I'm a kid with short legs who lived all her life in a place where the sun shines every single day and can't stand the freezing weather in Beijing...



Number 6

Guangzhou, China

Right, I am aware that this is like the 4th (excluding HK and TW) PRC city I have listed... Well, I am Malaysian Chinese and I do feel more comfortable being in a place where the majority speaks a language that I understand. I was on a tour too the last time I've been here and spent only 1 day here.. so i need more time to explore this place.

Number 7

Shenzhen, China

Thanks to several HK dramas, this place has been labeled as the place for pirated stuff and mistresses.. In my point of view, it's a great place for shopping (not for pirated stuff).

Number 8

Singapore

A place close to home... and it has the Universal Studios!!

Number 9

Dalian, China

This will be my last Chinese cities... A very unique city in China, it's different from the other big cities in China.. Worth to be explored..

Number 10

Malacca, Malaysia

And of course, how could I not list a place that is in the country that I'm living in?? I would be suggesting Malacca as the place to go to a foreigner, it has everything from historical stuff, cultural stuff, shopping and food..

As a conclusion after writing both posts about places around the world, I'm more of a city, shopping, play and sight-seeing person.. Beaches are not much of my genre... So, here we are.. my lists of places that I would like to go to...

So time to save my travel funds... i think I should be able to go one place per year... hopefully~~

That's all folks

10 places to go before I die

I accidentally came across an article called "10 places to go before you die", which I find pretty amusing and since I'm earning (although it's just peanuts) now but I would love to travel, not really all around the world but at least to a few places that I have always dreamt of.

I separated the list to 2 categories, the first one are places that currently only manage to appear in my dreams, while the latter are places that I have visited and would definitely love to go again...

My "10 places to go before I die"

Number 1

Tokyo, Japan

The place that I have always wanted to go since I knew Doraemon. And besides, I did not learn Japanese for nothing. 
And of course, Disneyland!! The first Disneyland in Asia.

Number 2

Seoul, Korea

A place that I have grown interest recently. I was not really a K-pop or K-drama fan but I do watch and listen to Korean stuff.. And again, I did not learn Korean for nothing ;P


Number 3

California, USA

When I was a kid, I have always wanted to go visit Sesame Street (I still don't know whether it exists or not), after a while I somehow linked Sesame Street to California.. Ok, I know this makes no sense so just let me try to work this out and connect the dots. Sesame Street is America to me and California is like the signature of America, so Sesame Street seems like California.. If it still makes no sense, then just ignore this..
Aaaaaand, another attraction...

Disney land!!! The one in California is way bigger than the one in Tokyo, definitely worth to visit.


Number 4

New York City, USA

The main reason for this is Gossip Girl.. Hah, the Manhattan Upper East Side and socialites.. I'm such a TV addict..


Number 5

Florida, USA

The biggest reason for this is that it has the world's largest Disney Land!! Ok, that's like the third Disney Land I want to go to. Disney is like everybody's childhood and that's including me.. So, what's wrong about fulfilling a childhood dream??

And then, there's also the Universal Studios

Why?? I love Woody Woodpecker!! huh-huh-huh-haa-haa~~


Number 6

London, England

Well, first things first, my parents graduated here.. So it makes the perfect sense for me to want to visit this place..
Oh, why again??

Like all the other Potter fans, Platform nine and 3 quarters at King Cross Station....


Number 7

Bangkok, Thailand

And yes, I do live in a country right below Thailand and My mom's hometown is like a borderline away from the country and yet I have not been to Thailand. Let's exclude the time when I "conquered" the Thai water(sea) when I was like 14 or something.. Shhhh... that was illegal.


Number 8

Switzerland

This one really came out of nowhere... The land of Swiss chees, Swiss chocolates and watches..


Number 9

Rome, Italy

After watching Triumph in the Skies, Rome seems like the most romantic place on Earth.. This is where all the love stories begins.. and the artsy stuff that I have studied during my foundation year.. I really should go take a look..




Number 10

Paris, France

This was also due to the influence of Gossip Girl... I'm not really much of a fashion person but a look at the World's most fashionable city is a chance you can't miss.

And of course, I promise this is the last time you'll see it in the post

Paris Disney Land!!! Visiting all the Disney Lands in the world is my ultimate dream...



Alright, that's all for the dream list... the "have been to and would love to go again" list will be up on the next post.. Since I don't update that often nowadays anyway.. so a few posts should be able to keep you company, I know there's a whole bunch out there who won't wanna read long posts..
