My trip to Taipei & Hongkong was a fruitful one.
I stayed in a hotel that i thought it felt like a second home. The hotel attendants are really warm and friendly souls. The drivers are really chatty.
Generally, the Taiwanese are very nice people. They are well-mannered and helpful.
The weather was chilly. I have always detest cold weather and i sweared that i won't travel to countries during winter. Although it wasn't winter and it ain't snowing there, but the temperature was unbearable. I wanted to be home badly, but i'm missing Taipei now.
I don't know.. maybe it's the people, the environment, or even the weather.
The one thing that impressed me was..
the citizens actually queued to dump their garbage. This will never happen in Singapore.
Well, the last night in Taipei. My boyfriend and I did a good deed. While we were walking to the MRT, we saw this troubled lady. She was seeking help from a security officer to view the CCTV to see if her daughter was caught on the video camera. After paused for a few minutes, we decided to proceed on. She shouted out to us to help to keep a lookout for her daughter. We acknowledged and continued walking. I thought we should walked a faster pace in case we missed the little girl. From a far distance, i saw this little girl crossing the road. Although she was walking near to this couple pushing a baby pram, it seemed like she ain't related to them. I urged my boyfriend to race across the road as the green man was already blinking.
I was right. She was the little girl that the lady was anxiously looking out for.
I was absolutely elated that we found her. She almost crossed another road without looking out for cars. Thank god. We walked her back to her mom, and saw the two hugged each other in tears. What a touching scene. Parents should really watch out for their kids at all times.
Mee Sua. Hotspring. Shopping. XiMenTing. Beitou. Shih Lin Night Market. Raohe Night Market. Tong Hua Street & Night Market. XXL Chicken. Sausages... i missed.
What about Hongkong. I think it was too short time to know the people better.
I merely stayed in Hongkong for 2 nights. I was at Disneyland for almost one full day. And of course, i visited other places such as Mongkok, Central, Causeway Bay, Wan Chai.
In Singapore, besides night life the shopping malls would be closed by 10pm. Whereas in Hongkong, shopping malls are still quite busy when it was closed to midnight.
The streets are packed with people and it felt different.
I guess i have grabbed every opportunity to experience life in foreign countries.
My boyfriend and I took MRT and walked a lot from places to places.
I fell in love walking in the streets. Taiwan, i will be back next year.
