more sights of taipe



Because I was hesistant to push thru with this trip, not much planning had been made. It was fun though, like getting lost, boarding the wrong bus, and walking a lot (because there was no one to taxi-cost share with)...In the process, there were lots of discoveries and so many stories to tell....
                                             
first stop was the Longsham Temple...ASTRO BOY got his own place here


live plants offerings at the temple



XIMENDING didn't disappoint me.



I wished I got a better shot of these cute squirrels


an accidental destination. from the church, I boarded a bus that says Taipe Main Station, not knowing that it just came from there and was going to Yangmishan. I was quite scared that the bus seemed to go uphill, glad though that I did'nt get off at the first stop. it was freezing up there....by the way, I paid my fare using my day pass....sulit!


for sure this isn't the National Palace Museum...getting lost has its joy indeed...i witnessed a cultural presentation and got a free drink...


this is the real one.... sooo huuuuggeeee....a day is not enough......entrance fee is NT160.00....a must see for culture buff

the next best thing to owning an iPhone, iPad or mac (i cannot afford these stuff at the moment :)...bought the book from eslite in CKS Memorial @NT649.00... it's published by Little, Brown UK, maybe that's why it does not cost as much as the ones we have here in Manila


because I was scared to stay alone in a hostel, because I am not moneyed enough to book a 5 star hotel, because I didn't want to walk far to get to a public transport, because I wanted to have a good eat before starting the day, and because it was the cheapest at that time, I chose this hotel thru agoda. and I had no regrets...
