mY t@iwaN tRiP...day 6

Whoa.. how fast time flies.. Its already day 6.. We had a long bus ride from taizhong back to taipei.. Actually we were supposed to go to Daxi Blooming Oasis where there are very beautiful flowers.. It was the filming ground for a taiwan idol drama featuring cyndi wang and ming dao.. However, we ended up giving it a miss as it is the rainy season and our caifu told us tat there is no point going since there will be no nice flowers for us to admire..

Our first stop of the day was at a place where they keep the remains of their national leaders.. there were many soldiers doing some marching thingy.. They were dressed smartly except for their weird looking tin helmets but some of the soldiers were quite cute.. haha..Just nearby was Chiang Kai Shek's home and we went there to admire his gardens and stuff.. Above is a pic of one of his cars.. I would think it is fun touring his place if not for the dreaded rain.. The rain just makes everything feel uncomfortable..
After lunch, we went to this place called Chung-Hwa Pui-Shiou Museum, its a place where they help people decipher meanings of your name and other feng shui matters.. Their shifu gave an interesting talk about how ppl's names have an effect on ppl's lives.. Later, his employees tried to convince us to buy some stuff which will enhance the quality of our lives.. But those things are very ex.. One figurine that is to be placed in the house cost about 4000-5000 bucks, sing dollars, not taiwan dollars..
Our next stop is a big shopping complex called Miramar Entertainment Park.. It has a very big ferris wheel but my family opted not to take it as we rather go shopping instead.. but it turned out to be disappointing as a lot of the stuff are pretty expensive.. we ended up juz walking around n we spotted homer simpson and his family.. haha.. My youngest bro and i decided to take a pic with them.. Anyway, i read about 2 KL college students stealing the figurine of homer simpson..damn hilarious.. How can those 2 think they can escape with homer?!! haha..The last stop of the day was at Raohe Night Market.. I managed to buy a nice bag for only NT300 which works out to about 15 bucks.. My 1st bro and i had some desserts while my mum and my youngest bro went to walk around since they both had a cough and couldn't eat cold stuff.. haha.. Anyway, dun be mistaken by the pic above, those 2 bowls aren't ours.. by the time we remembered to take a pic, we were already half-way done so we borrowed our neighbours' to take a pic.. They were HK tourists judging from their accents.. When we checked into the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised.. The hotel was the best out of all 6 nights.. After resting in the room for a while, my bros and i felt hungry so we went to a 24 hr shop called Family Mart, something like 7-11 and bought some food.. we also bought 3 bottles of Le Tea.. Channel MTV chinese keeps advertising for it so we decided to try them but its not that impressive.. Since tml morning's morning call is 8am, i ended up watching tv until 2am plus..
