enough already

sometimes it jus takes the simplest of words
to cut the deepest wounds
sometimes its the slip of tongue
that shows ur true feelings

like super bad

was entirely drenched

day 2

travelled up the mountains for lunch at the swiss village

den visited the 小人国

day 3

went up to ailishan

trekked through the forest

which was rather exciting!

it was a rather surreal feeling

so peaceful and all

there was really some very nice views

right out of post cards

weather was nice n cool

but it drizzled a little at the end

though tiring it was worth it !

at night

we again went to yet another night market

i forgot the name!

day 4

visited some temples

but sadly the lake that it sat on was renovating

so the views ain't tt nice

next we went to dream mall

it had the hello kitty ferris wheel

which was quite cute

lunched at the food court

bro n enwei bought this small coke bottle there

very cute!

oh yes

we feel in love with 鸡蛋糕 which was readily available at the night markets

so we couldn't resist buying some from the foodcourt

which is also surprisingly good!

oh yes

bubble tea frm here also good!

we bought more for our long bus ride to chipen

we saw a pet pig!

at one of the pit stops!

the bus ride was harrowing

according to the tour guide

one of the worst in taiwan

love the bedroom at hotel royal chipen!

super stylish!

had a good dinner too

which ended nicely with alot of fruits

love love

the old aunty in our tour grp wasn't feeling very well

helped the uncle call insurance and all

cuz he was really worried and wanted to bring her back to singapore

end up she went to clinic nearby

the tour guide was super irritating!

argh

he wasn't helping much and was jus showing black face frm the extra work

horrid man

after sending the aunty off to the clinic

me bro n enwei went to the open air spa in the hotel

which wasn't tt fantastic

but still ok

soaked there till it was closing time

day 5

we visited 小野柳 which was made up of coral rocks

spent some time jus soaking up the views

travelled to the tropics of cancer marker!

padi fields nearby!

headed up to the toroko gorge

we all were amazed at the place

the gorge was basically made up of marble

like wow!

went to a few more sight seeing places there
