luglio I

you know you have arrived in taiwan when
you see the chinese signs in traditional characters
bad example here .. these four words are all in simplified form :( but then again, do we ever say 'ta ban' in sg?











sunset near the airport
sighted on the way to the hotel








chomping away vermicelli and chicken cutlet
at shihlin night market









typical taipei street

yellow cabbies like happy yellow duckies
except they arent that friendly
had quite a scare on one of the cabs we took








taipei main train station
rather empty
at 6 in the morning





miramir ferris wheel
green spikey giant
that sent us to the moon

spent 40mins in the queue
20 minutes in one revolution
an almost heartstopping 20 mins
(thanks to my height phobia)





danshui matou
once out of the danshui mrt station
we were greeted by a familiar warm sea-salt-scented breeze
nice :)





favourite ximending alley
cool shops
chio salesgirls

(grace: this' the alley u gonna stay in! read the blue sign: the guo guang da fan dian)
