An minute on Taiwan before I procrastinate in ~ degree further 
В
In summary, it was good food, shopping for skin-care and lots of merriment! Gained weight but it was integrity every gram and kg I say. We ate like every hour and myВ appetiteВ got colossal because of that. On the be unexhausted day, I insisted on another crispy chicken from Shihlin Night Market and he keen to my hips and said “You stable? Don’t want la ahems -poke-”. LOL. I insisted on buying anyway and had the total piece to myself. Super shiok!!В
I didn’t carry into effect any shopping at all except a firm luggage of skincare products and bread. Even brought back two big bottles of yakult! Yummy. The figure there is not exactly my designation as it is rather kawaii and korean, with apparel of thin material and nay lining (how can?!). I still bring forward Hong Kong for shopping and Taiwan according to food & sight-seeing. TC attached the other hand did so a great deal of shopping (clothes, bottoms, bags, accessories etc) that I gave him my specie since I have too much. I barely brought one pair of shoes attached the last day as well likewise yes, achievement unlocked! -peace sign-
Stocked up in c~tinuance my fav Biore sunblock and got them in spite of my friends because the offerВ excellence was just $11.20 each! Most masks were going on account of 1-for-1 as well!В
Night markets are our favourites and we spent our nights at Shi Da / Shih Lin / Rou He/ Kee Long / Wu Fen Pu hunting for food and to soak in the atmosphere. The locals there are really to a high degree friendly and not pushy at quite!
Flight : Scoot Airways.В
The cause to fail was super last minute so in the greatest degree of the timings we wanted forward other airlines were not available. We paid all over $490 per ticket inclusive of put a ~ upon and baggage. It was the most of all option and the flight turned uncovered to be not bad for a bag airline. TC had enough room extension for his long legs so extreme brownie points to it! However forward our return flight, it got delayed since a few hours due to the haze and we were rotting in the airport straightforward waiting. Oh wells.
Hotel: Won Star Hotel
Ximen No.105, Xining S. Rd., Wanhua Dist., Taipei City 108, Taiwan (Ximen employment exit No.6 walk about 4 minutes)
Price – $116 by means of night
To be honest, this wasn’t my leading choice. I was searching frantically as being available hotels online located at Xi Men Ding (fair a preference for hotels at this locality) and there were just 5 from agoda/zuji etc. My primeval choice, Amba Hotel was fully sold exhausted and I’ve heard plenty of gain reviews on this hotel. Managed to main division Just Sleep HotelВ in the period which my Taiwan-pro buddy stayed in his finally trip. Was super happy to volume the LAST room available since the reviews are over awesome.. but I received an email two days before the trip that it was SOLD OUT.
So, I booked Won Star HotelВ at $116/ignorance since it has the highest rating thoroughly of the 4 hotels available.
Pros
1) The rooms were very big, cosy and clean. At least bigger than the tiny Rainbow house of entertainment rooms we stayed last time that gave me nightmares. There’s aВ balconyВ to you to behave yoga even.
2) House-keeping was richness and they tidied up our messy rooms in reality well.
3) Polite Staff
4) 5 minutes from XMD Train office
Cons
1) No bath-tub
2) Complimentary breakfast were absolutely sucky (we ate the first appointed time and went out to eat up~ the body the next 4 days)
Verdict- Not saddening and quite worth the bucks I idea. Would loved to try in the other sum of ~ units hotels next time though!!

Just walk out from the position after crossing the road (pic of rectitude too great for) and you should be able to mark the big signboard after 15 minutes. There’s a fervid spring museum there too!
The locals there were extremely friendly and chatted by us in the pools. They taught us how to alternate between the many temperature of water and chatted with us about the culture in Singapore. Initially, I was hurl but after warming up abit, I was abit indisposed to leave the pool and utter my goodbyes. В
