From 26 Apr - 1 May :)

| 台幣! |
Unlike other overseas trips I've embarked with my friends or family, this trip with the dino saw us pooling all our money into a single purple pouch. All expenditures such as gifts for our family memberes and collegues were thus shared. And this system actually worked!

| Birdwatching spot atop a hill |
Had to climb the monstrously-long stairs up this hill which was meant for birdwatching. But in the end we didn't even see any birds, just other old people. Haha. The breeze from the ocean was lovely though. Made it all worthwhile in the end.

| Us with Taipei 101 |
This was during the second day of the trip while the weather was still deliciously cool at below 20 degrees celcius. Didn't want to enter the Taipei 101 building so we took a picture with it instead and walked around the area.

| Sightseeing at 野柳 |
Daringly took a public bus (1.5hr ride) to this tourist attraction. Was pretty clueless throughout the entire journey there but it turned out well in the end. Lots of pretty scenery along the way and when we headed to Dan Shui on another public bus (1hr ride) after that. Even saw a lady who boarded the bus with a big rabbit in her bag :)

| 鬍鬚張魯肉飯 |
For most proper meals I had, it was eaten with 魯肉飯. As a person who enjys gravy on my rice, I was a really happy camper during mealtime! Formosa Chang's is my favourite. This picture was taken near 五分埔, a commercial shopping area similar to Bugis street.

| Microwave lunch from 7-11 |
This picture of our lunch comes with a funny story. For some reason, we decided to venture out to look for a popular biscuit store in an area we've not been to before. And so we had no idea there wasn't any proper food around there. During that particularly hot day, we decided to stop by a small 7-11 to grab a quick lunch which came in this microwavable box.
We took the container and tried devoured its piping hot contents. All whilst standing by the roadside in the hot sun! You can imagine the scenario: One person holding the container and the other person feeding two mouths.. A young couple got on their scooter near us and drove off, but not before commenting, “好恩爱啊！” I wanted to dig a hole and hide in embarrassment..
