Too bad it&#8217;s sold out in bookstores!! Nvm, borrow from him again next time!! Hee.. there are many reasons why I loved going to Taiwan.. perhaps their culture has sunk into us long ago.. Haha! During this visit, we got to enjoy their cold n cooling winter! Heh, which also means, we can dress all we want in winter wear and boots! Woohooo~ Hoho.. and did I mention before? I&#8217;m always impressed with their people, from visiting their night markets, to every shop or even those we&#8217;ve approached to ask for directions, we see how helpful and polite one can be!! When everywhere else is closed, we could still spend some time at their 24hrs \u8bda\u54c1\u4e66\u5c40! Watsons had became less attractive this visit, my favorite hangout has became their always open 7-11, unlike the one at Khatib which probably opens from 7 to 11! And they have a huge selection of drinks n even \u5173\u4e1c\u716e! Haha.. we never fail to come out empty handed! oh, and their TV channels~~!! who still needs YouTube over there? haha!!<\/p>\n<p>As there are really A LOT of pictures, I&#8217;m therefore going to blog day by day.. Heee&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s Day One for a start&#8230; thanks to my bro who borrowed my luggage to KL, I found myself a valid excuse to buy a new hardcase luggage!!
