I also dunno why my feet become so dirty ........ maybe there  is a lot of walking today.  I have difficulties in removing it!
Woke up at 7am and wash up ..... off we go to Level 2 for breakfast ....... not much varities early in the morning they serve nuggets, french fries, cha soba and sushi for me I tried almost everything.  For my dearie he is like old man :X hahah eat porridge and drink soya bean milk.  We don't have map on hand and since we are early and we are taking thier 捷运 we asked around how to walk to 龙山寺.

We reached 龙山寺 around 830am and there are so many people around singing prayers and we do not know how to pray dunno where to start we decided not to use the joss stick we just went round the temple to 拜拜.  Ooposite there is a 美人照镜池 aka fountain heehee they will have "show" 9am - 9pm and is every 15mins.  Well we stay theer to watch awhile and take their 捷运 to Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall 国父纪念馆 is free admission and they do sell some sovenir there too and  we will miss the next military shift changing cos we are heading to Taipei 101 next heard that when we are there dun miss the changing of shift.

At around 9.40am we left to Taipei 101 the price had increase NT50 so now the admission fee is NT400 this is to floor 88 & 89.  The lift is so cool with a speed of 60公尺 oh i love the lift .... am so excited till I forget to take pics heehee.  We are given a guide hearing device to guide us through what are the surrounding buildings located and what are they use for.  You can stay there as long as you could pay another additional amount to go up to 91 storey but my advice is no need to waste that money heehee.  In the buidling itself have many shops Jean Paul Gaultier, Coach, Hermes etc.

Took the shuttle bus back to 市政府站 and change to red line to go to the Taipei Zoo hahaha think lotsa people may think we both are so stupid to go zoo.  Eh.... I find stupid to go after I walk in there for about 11/2hr hahaha we went there cos we wanna see Koala Bear we are wondering can we also carry them .... ANS is NO.... and think due to the weather most of the animals are sleeping and they hide one side which is in shade so nothing much to see.  We went in there cos we thought we could take the 游客列车 to take their Gondola to 猫空.  Their 游客列车 have so many people we gave up waiting and headed out.  The admission fee is NT60 you could pay that through the Easycard 

Ok next is to 猫空 there is nothing much is just like you taking the cable car in SG well cos of my dearie he wanna go see cos during his stay in Taipei last year due to weather the Gondola cease operation.  And for me I am so hungry that I ask to eat something but my dearie kept asking me to go walk first . The ticket cost NT100 worst thing is you have to Q Q Q everytime even I have bought the tickets I still have to Q with those who have not purchase it. After Q-ing they release batches by batches and we go up to 4th floor and those who haven't buy the tics have  to go Q for tics those whom have bought have to Q to sit the Gondola..... sigh and their system is kinda fuck up when we reached the last station and both of  us dun feel like going down we wanna take back CANNOT loh ..... we have to get down and if you wanna go back you gotta go Q again!  No choice so we got down and look for food we have their fried bee hoon and soup .... the soup is very nice!  I wanna try the Kungfu Panda mcnuggets in Taipei no chance for today!

After 猫空 our next destination is 五分埔 yes the wholesale centre!   We have to head back to blue line to 后山埤 and just nice 绕河夜市 is just nearby.  I bought lotsa things in 五分埔 and after the walking I am dead tired and hungry so we went KFC for light food, drinks and of cos toilet break!  Went 绕河夜市 to shop wow ..... so many people again but this is much more easier to walk compare to 士林.  I bought a pair of shoes and some clothings wanted to try the pepper biscult but there is a long long Q so we gave up and shop again ..... before we leave the place we bought some food back to eat.

We are so tired and dun wanna climb the overhead bridge to 后山埤 we decided to take a cab back to the hotel.  Gotta rest early today too cos there is a 1/2 day city tour tomorrow ............

My MIL's lorry run out battery so she picked TT up yesterday nite so we have to make our way to Airport on our own.  Reached Changi Airport at 6.30am took the skytrain to T1 to check in.  After checking in we went for a hot coffee before boarding.  Plane suppose to take off at 8.10am but it was late ...... took off at 8.30am we touch down at 12.50pm.

After alighting the plane we have to take a long walk to reach the check out point.  Someone is awaiting for us for transfer to hotel.  There are 4 for people joining us but they are all staying in different hotel.

Finally at 2.45pm we reached Kilin Hotel after check in and settled down we left and headed to 西门町.  When we reached XMD we went to 蛋蛋屋 for some food cos we are very hungry.  Walked around XMD there are so many people there ..... the  shop assistant is very friendly.  We bought 2 pairs of sunglasses for ourselves cos is very hot in Taiwan ...... hotter than SG!

After walking around we went to look for 阿宗面线 is a not to be miss item to try in Taiwan.  The shop doesnt have any tables & chairs you have to stand around to eat food is hot, weather is hot lucky they have fans outside the shop so still ok.

We headed to their XMD 捷运 and we bought their Easycard 游由it cost NT500 is more than enough to travel around with that amount.  Reached 士林夜市 at around 5+ to 6 most of the shop just started to open we walked around and see their clothings ..... we only buy some clothings for TT cos we think we could find them in 五分埔.

The place is just like our Bugis Street all the stuffs 大同小异........ so we just do some window shopping and of cos not to miss the food hahah bought the 鸡蛋糕 and it cost only NT20 and it so nice to eat cost is piling hot yummy and bought the bread cake is kinda hard I dun really like it keke.............. after some walking we are both tired cos maybe we slept late yesterday so we decided to pack back some food to hotel for dinner.  We bought the crispy chicken and the oyster egg back. 

If you watch the Taiwanese show 转角遇到爱 star by 罗志祥 & Big S you will notice the Oyster Egg this stall that we patronise is the one they use and the boss who teaches them for cooking is there in the stall heehee....... but no luck in seeing any star ..... I wanna see Jacky Wu!  See is there any better luck next time!

At around 8+ we are back in hotel and we are so tired that we eat and shower rest and relax all the way.  There are so many channel in Taiwan and all the show is so nice to watch unlike SG kept showing the same old show everytime! My lights off time is at 11pm ...... gotta have my beauty sleep and I do have lotsa places to cheong tomorrow ...................
