Merry xmas 2009

It's 3.30pm 25th December.

Merry Christmas from San Francisco!

A piece of heaven on earth

Beautiful Maldives! Sky so blue, clouds so white and water so clear that you could distinctly see schools of fishes shuffling around. I even saw sharks and stingrays machiam underwater world!

My flight was 80% filled with couples on honeymoon teehee.

We stayed in one of the islands called Banados. I think. Or the resort is called Banados. It is so tiny it'll only take you less than half hour to walk one round the island. Felt SO private contrary to the crowded beaches we're so used to, evidence shown in the pictures where you literally see no one.

Anyhow, extremely expensive place to visit on a holiday. They accept USD (not rupees -_-). If you got no money like me just go to one of our neighbours' islands i'm pretty sure they are still some relatively secluded ones that are as beautiful :)

The stewards on my flight offloaded bread rolls for me cos i mentioned it was my first Male flight hehe so sweet. While some crew tried to con me into thinking there are malls and temples with shuttle buses >:(

台湾观光 part4

Our room during the farm stay. All trees and crickets chirping outside the window.

Ahhhh fresh air! It was nice getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city once in a while.





Coziness.

Can someone tell me what is duo shi fei zhu.



A walk into the fruit farm where we can collect fruits straight from the trees for consumption :)

Enchanted garden feeeeeeel.














Apparently they thought they were being kind to let loose a caged squirrel but it expressed its gratitude by chewing away at their fruits -_-

After a nice soak at the natural hot springs :)

Jiufen. An old street.


Lunch- noodles with drunken chicken, beancurd, century egg, and many random little things i don't remember.

Handmade little flutes in various shapes.

VERY crowded.




Tau huay with chewy yam and sweet potato balls i swear it's delicious.

The museum.



Spreeeeeeeee.

Ah zong mee sua typical.

OMG the queue that is forming almost 2 freakin hours prior to opening -_- There was an anniversary sale...

This is phenomenal. Security literally had to stand guard for crowd control. Apparently every major shopping mall takes turn to hold its annual anniversary sale and it's hugely popular among people here so much so that they have stopped shopping on days without sale.

There was NO space to browse at all and we were literally inching our way around gahhhhhhh you have to know what you want before you come.

This concludes my posts on Taiwan!
