Sunset among the clouds

Taipei Zoo

Taipei Zoo is huge.. Or perhaps should I say most countries’ zoo are huge as compared to Singapore’s.. They have much more land to spare.. I’m not really used to the hugeness of overseas’ zoos. Taipei zoo was no exception.. It’s huge to the extent that I gotta walk almost 5 mins from one zone to another zone and end up looking at such 1 or 2 animals per exhibit.. But hey, NT$60(SGD$3) for an entry ticket is totally worth the visit. Another thing worth mentioning is the tram service.. It’s amazingly cheap, it cost just NT$5(SGD$0.20) for a ride. Even though it’s charged on a per trip basis, it’s still cheaper than Singapore’s $5 tram service.. As in who would keep taking the tram?

Taipei 101

Lovely cuties in Taipei

While we were in the Taipei 101 area, we came across this cute mascots for some “Love” event, or perhaps it was some sort of campaign that is going on in Taipei..

Taipei Day 2 – 迪化街

Since Chinese New Year happened to be around the corner during our trip, 迪化街 aka Di Hua Street was one place that we should never miss. Di Hua Street is somewhat similar to Singapore’s Chinatown. It’s a street where everyone goes to do their Chinese New Year shopping, it’s full of Chinese New Year goodies. And as expected, it has to be very crowded in order to have the festive mood.

Taipei Day 1

Back in Taipei after 6 months.. Really missed this place but the weather is so different from 5 months ago but luckily, it’s not cold to the extent of freezing.. Hehe..

Since it was a Sunday, I guessed the best place to visit first would be 淡水 as I have a feeling that 淡水 is a place one should visit during a weekend as it would be bustling with people and activities..
