We started at morning, as we don't have a early schedule. We took the Taiwan MRT early in the morning. We studied the map and bought our tickets 30NT and headed to DanShui. It was a cool place, which had a few horses kept for photo taking. Just walking and taking photos around, we walked to a arcade, and just played a game of those basketballs game where you must throw a basketballs into a net. We played twice only. After the game, we walked back to the MRT station. We bought our ticket again and went back to the hotel to find our tour guide.
We went to have our lunch, but the tour guide brought us to the wrong place. Actually, we had alot of time, but after he brought us to the wrong place, we were in a hurry! But never mind, we just had our lunch and headed to TaiPei 101.
We wanted to go up to see the scenery, but it was too crowded and we only had an hour in our hands. We just moved around the shops and see the nice shops. Everything was very expensive! I wanted something, which Singapore was selling it for about $60, but at Taiwan, it was sold for $80!!! So my father decided to go back to Singapore to get the present.
After an hour, we went to a place, which sold alot of clothes, only it is at the outdoors. The whole place was filled with winter clothes for sale, so my dad and I got really tired of it and just found a seat and rested with my grandma while my sister and my mum continued to search around. After they came back, we still had alot of time although my mum and sister also wanted to get out of that place. My mum bought my sister and I a cup of bubble tea and a cup of MeeSua each, and headed to the toilet, getting ready to go back to out trip. But the most hilarious thing was that the girls restroom queue was so long, and when some girls could not stand it, they actually went inside the boys room! But if they see any guys, they will run out. That was a very funny scene.
It was already time to head to the night market. We went to a famous night market called Shilin Night Market, and it may be so famous that maybe you have heard of it before. But it was really crowded that we had to eat MacDonalds for dinner. It was a very unimaginable crowdedness that no one could stand. We had to jay-walk to get to a petrol station that was across the street filled with cars! But mostly scooters.. Anyway, it was very dificult to get to the other side of the road, good thing we suceeded. We just walked around till our feet got really tire, but there was a small place to play games, so we played one game for awhile. It was a dart game where you had to throw the darts on a balloon. My sister wanted a stuff toy, so we played. We thought that we shot one balloon would did the trick, but we had to hit more then that. Different prizes had different number of balloons to get bursted, so we got a not to difficult and not to easy difficulty. Nine balloons. We had to play twice because we could not win in one round. After winning a stuffed monkey, we walked back to the van, but buying some food first, then go back to the hotel.
Just watched some more television programmes, one of the best was The Suite Life Of Zack And Cody on Disney Channel, then turned in.
