TAIPEI Day 1

The general Map of Taipei Main Station

 We are staying at Itaipei Service Apartment for the second time, as we loved the location and its accessibility,

To get to the main concierge, use the Y3 Exit and wait straight until you cross the carpark entrance.

 Our Serviced Apartment Room

The room concept was the same as the last one but this time round, was quite disappointed as a returning guest, we got a lower floor room which was noisy due to the lift nearby,

To Get around Taipei, purchase the EASY card from the machine .

 First stop in Taiwan, is always XiMending, Tian Wai Tian

 Ma La Steamboat - Yuan Yang Guo with Ma La and tomato base

After getting full, is always some walking and shopping at Ximending area for face mask.

Europe Trip 2013 - Budapest Day 2 - Part 2

We didnt take any Subway in Budapest, as we wanted to explore the area. You just need to walk towards town or the river and find the Chain's Bridge, and it will lead you here. 

It was actually recommend by the tripadvisor that you take the tram up, and you can see from the picture is quite steep. I wouldnt mind walking up much but i do not wanna tire myself, so we Q to but a one way ticket up at the BUDAVARI SIKLO

 1000 FT or a single journey and 1700 FT for a return journey per pax from the booth below ( as on sept 2013)

 Q and wait for the tram that will bring u up in 5 minutes.

 The view from the Buda of the Pest is fantastic, something that you dont usually see, as eastern europe is not as popular destination as compare to the west europe.

We were hungry and we are glad to chance upon their ?tourism or their weekend food fair at the main area. 

We had the chicken with rosemary, it was simple yet very fragrance. 

 

We had some other rolled pastries.

They are Served hot and fluffy, sprinkled with sugar or other flavour.

 We ordered and wait for the cinamnon while he tried their espresso coffee

 

                                           The garden full of flower , loving it !

                   
                                 The usual change of duty at ?president or ?minister office ?

Taiwan/HKG

I know i haven finish blogging my Europe trip, and it was only been blog for half of it, but it was time to go holiday to distress myself ! So ya, after the dreadful long and afternoon shift, i was at the airport the next morning

Arrive at the airport at 0600 hrs, with the total combine cargo weight of 26.6kg.

Still prefer to fly via Cathay as it transit via HKG, and the journey towards the detination are comfortable enough for me.

Transit via HKG after a3 1/2 hr flight

Arrive at TPE after 1 hr 20 min flight from HKG > TPE

It was 16 degree when we arrive.

From the Taipei Taoyuan Airport, I normally take the Guo Kuong Bus 1819 direct to the Taipei Railway West Station. Is 230NT for a return trip.

The bus ride is about 40-50 min, where it will reach the Taipei Main Station west gate
