A Walk in Taiwan (I) 《台湾之走》《第一篇》

Hello, I back to blogging and to share wit you all what is up with me during the holidayz.

I just went to Taiwan to join a tour by Reliance (a "reknown" tour agent).

It is a 7 days 6 nights (or less) tour package.

Let's start with Day 1.

We took a 5 hours flight on board MAS Airlines. Damn, can I say the service is so compact. The plane seems like as 60 year old who drinks everyday.
What amazed me was this little thing in front of me that kept me awake for the whole long journey across countless enemy air space.
Surprisingly, this little thing have the latest movie like "Beverly Hills: ChiHuaHua".
p/s: The safety demo was pretty nice.

That evening we arrived at Taipei, the weather was very cold. Around 14C with wind blowing. Similar to what we will have in an air-con room in M'sia.
During the checking at the Immigration, my bro told me that this guy below is a celebrity. I was thinking like, he is a celebrity? Doesn't look like one to me. But my bro insisted he is one of the winners of Astro Star.
This guy in white. He got a few fanz on board according to my bro.

When we were waiting for our luggage, we saw this girl (which i think is awesome) with this little poochie. From what we know, that little fella can snift out any potential danger. I wonder durian is one of it?

And this is our Tour Guide, Ms. Woo Beautiful (吴美女). She is one humourous woman but still she is a Taiwanese.
This is our tour bus that is harbouring us here and there all the way. It is a not 2 but a 1 and 0.5 decker. Itz amazing on what Taiwanese people can come out with. It seats around 44 ppl.

First stop of the night of Day 1 was the Shan De Hotel (三德酒店). As soon as we touch down n check in, I notice a typical 7-Eleven just beside the hotel. I decide to check it out. As i was damn hungry at that time, i bought some Instant Noodle. I notice a BIG dissimilarity and I mean BIG BIG difference.

Made in Taiwan

Your eyes are looking at the real thing. Those are real prawns, meat, vegetables and whole lot of noodles.
Made In Malaysia...

Haiz....that why this is called Maggi Hot "Cup".

With the Made in Taiwan noodles nicely in my stomach. Day 1 in Taiwan ends with a nice peaceful sleep.
