Tamsui Old Street
Fisherman's Wharf
Shi Lin Night Market


It's time for us to shift our luggages again haha. From Taiwan Hostel Happy Family back to Paradise Hotel.


All of us in the train heading to Tamsui


Reached Tamsui Old Street, where there were a list of famous food that we had to track down. But before that, we just had to get dunkin donuts! As they were having some kind of promotion, we bought a dozen of assorted donuts and couldn't resist taking a few shots of it.




Dunkin Donuts... my childhood donut hehe

As we were too early, most of the shops in Tamsui weren't ready to do business yet. Went to a shop selling coffee and other 3-in-1 beverages... Auntie was too kind to us that she kept pouring samples of drinks for us to try till we ended up being full haha. Reckon that we were in the shop for more than half an hour till other shops began to be in operation too. Just in time for some makan-ing heehee.




Matching hats and shorts. Just lack of a fishing net heehee


Some munching here and there... and Suhui recommended us this shop where its voted by her as her favourite stall.



Their menu is written on the ceiling, unique eh?


Take a look at the logo. What does it reminds you of? keke

Tried most of the recommended food but there's this Ah Gei that we couldn't find! Ended up its on a 'hill' and you really need to 'climb' (consider the hot weather) in order to savor it.




Climb so hard of coz must take a picture - lah

There's this suuuuppppppeeeeerrrr taaalllllllllll ice cream that we must laid our hands on! So touristy heehee.


The gals with the suuuuppppppeeeeer taaalllllll ice cream

Fisherman's Wharf is the place where the show, Meteor Garden filmed the sunset scene. As its highly recommended to catch the sunset over there, how can we missed it??



Me so act cute wahaha puke. Taking this yatch reminds me of the one that my GIP gang took to see the statute of liberty from afar. If only kaka is here and we can sing Home together haha

Finally reached Tamshui Fisherman's Wharf!! =D Very relaxed place that shares similar ambience with San Francisco - with the artists drawing portraits of people and scenery, soothing music and some pubs from a distance.

I cant think of a caption for this pic



Thought this pic is kinda lonely with the background of the mama and kid


从下面拍上去有不一样的感觉



我喜欢这样安静的凝望着日落

Ah... finally the moment that we have waited for has arrived!



Beautiful sunset. Even more so beautiful with my friends around me


The gals with our back facing the cam



This is one of my favorite photo. Love it so much that its currently on my desktop. I think I love pictures that capture our backs haha. The last pic of my desktop was the one taken in portland, with our backs too. 这张照片非常有感觉！



这张也不错！



Under such beautiful sunset, we all had our share of fun and laughter.



朋友和日落， 在加上一点欢笑 = 永恒的回忆


All of us at Qin Ren Qiao - Lover's Bridge. Jin Xin wants the uncle to kneel down and take this group shot.. Uncle sweating wor hehe

As its getting dark, Mei Xuan, Suhui, Jun Pei and me headed to the Mirarmar Ferris Wheel while the rest headed to Shi Lin Night Market first. As long as I remember, this is my first time taking the ferris wheel. The view wasn't as awesome as we thought, but we had fun on the ride heehee. Caught something unexpected though =p



Ferris Wheel


After we were done, we went back to meet the main group for some eating and shopping in Shin Lin. Tried lotsa food like guan cai ban, where I literally took it as a coffin snack -_-"" Turned out that the meaning is 升官发财， and not direct translation of coffin. My favorite is the peanut ice shaving thingie... Wanted to look at how Auntie do it but she was done in seconds. 来不及偷师！



Famous Shi Lin chicky

Did some shopping in Shi Lin and its kinda comical to see those mobile vendors moving about whenever they heard rumours of police coming =p



They just love this kind of basketball arcade

九份是我最喜欢的地方。。。 喜欢边逛小镇， 边吃东西。 那种小镇味道 + 朋友 = 非常棒的感觉！ Moreover the inspiration for 'Spirited Away' is derived from there.

渔人码头是第二名！ 日落 + relax ambience + 朋友 = 构成出美丽的画影。 Also, we had some nonsense of fun there. 感觉是非笔墨所能形容的。

如果要来个第三名的话， 就是淡水！只是因为有很多好吃的东西而已。 感觉 normal. 只是非常的热啦！

A little bit of regrets in Shi Lin. Didnt master the courage to try 猪血糕！ 因为大家都说很好吃哈哈！ 不过， 听名字就够吓人了。 哈哈我这么肤浅。。。 以后要勇敢的尝试！
