Finally, a little bit of free time! It would also be a good idea for me to not go on long breaks when writing about a trip because... You'll slowly start to forget bits and pieces of what happened along the way. :(
Day #7:
But anyways, on the morning 14th of March, I had the
best mianxian I've ever tasted my entire life. Thank goodness Ah-Chung was right round the corner from our home, so it barely took us 10 minutes to get to the stall. It was crowded, with lots of people queueing to order, and some others standing around to finish their bowl of noodles. We all got a large because the small seemed like it wouldn't be enough, but thank goodness I did because those I was sure I could've eaten another bowl then and there. It was so good.....
Day 7 wasn't really filled with much sight-seeing. We visited the Raohe area and shopped for more shoes, because what's new right? The deals in Taiwan are too good to miss out on. But that meant that I took lesser shots. For a moment I couldn't really recall what we did that day (note to self: reasons why you shouldn't procrastinate when it comes to writing about trips), until I remembered us walking around all day, just entering shoe shop after shoe shop haha.
Photos for that day were pretty awful too.... So please excuse the horrible lighting and framing....
In the night, we went to the Raohe Street Night Market (饒河街觀光夜市) which had one of the biggest range to choose from, out of all the night markets we went to. The food was pretty good too! Raohe is also where the famous Black Pepper Buns were at, but the snaking queue was a huge turn-off, so we ended up not queueing for it, even though it looked pretty promising.
Day #8:
The next day, Alvin suggested we visit the Fisherman's Wharf in Taipei, which was also where the supposed Lover's Bridge was. But it was rainy (as usual) and the bridge seemed a little too far off, so we decided against going all the way there in the end, and settled for this little lookout somewhere along the path.
It was a pretty sight, and the breeze made for an even better experience. There weren't much people there as well, probably because this spot isn't much of a tourist attraction, but it was nice just hanging around the area for a couple of minutes before we turned back to where we came from.
Photos for Day 8 was pretty shit too. Or it might also be due to the fact that they start to look uglier after you don't look at them for too long...
The weather there was rainy too, which was the reason why we didn't really stick around for long. That, and the fact that there was nothing else to do other than stand at a spot and look out into the choppy waves HAHA.
Afterwards, we made our way to the streets where it was busier, and had our little lunch/early dinner at a McDonalds nearby. They had cute little Gudetama stickers all over the glass windows there! It seems that the Taiwanese are also pretty crazy about their Gudetama decals, which made me very happy hehe. Funny thing - I used to find Gudetama merchandises and stickers pretty silly, but look at me now HAHA.
Oh just ending the post off with some random black eggs, no biggy. :)
Till the next (and last) one?
