TPE to HKG 2013

Day 5 of tapeihongkong trip - Check out itaipei serviced apartment at 0650hrs ! Look like alot of luggage ! So glad that i am travelling back with cathay, but 20 Kg seem a bit too little !
Goodbye for now ! We rush our way thru to find the airport shuttle which does not board the same place as you alight.... With the flights of stairs, we carry an run to find the station....( Exit Z3)



After about 1 hour ride, we reach Taoyuan Airport about 0800 hrs. and I think I was the one who ask the counter if we could catch a earlier flight, ( cause last yr i was so stupid that i never insist for a earlier flight even thou it was delay ! but the rest did) So she gave us a 0915 flight , almost an hour earlier from our intial flight )
                                                              
                                             Off to the next destination and Posing in the plane !








Thing I loved about cathay new aircraf, you can charge your stuffs, too bad is a short flight !

After an hour ++, we reach HKG ! hoping for a better holiday this time !


Their airport express travel is fast and good.




This is our hotel off at Sheng Wan, IBIS



We check in slight early due to the earlier flight, and only the handicapped room was available,so we took it for a fast nap... heheh.... but the bed was quite compact.. can sleep cannot roll !




Next was off to dim sum off mong kok, recommended by others.






After the food was followed b some slow walk (aka shopping ) at temple streeet

Dessert time after shopping - at Xu liu San

Day 4- Last Day in Taipei!


We woke up late in the morning and in search of food at the main taipei station ! ( along Y 18-23 exit area)

Still having some problem reading those complicated chinese character !

                                   As CNY was drawing, and they are having a promotion, spend more than NT 50, and you can get one for free.. Your truly being a auntie, brought it back to singapore

Part 2 @Sogo -zhongxiao fuxing station)
Sogo disappear from SIN long time ago, and we decided to have a look around, probably some good deal r what..... or easier to claim tax...

9th storey of retail shopping at SOGO, with a great view ! I bought 6 wacoal bra like close to $400 SGD.... and dear bought his tiger shoe, and we can claim tax ! But we forgot to bring passport along :-(


We went back to Sogo in the evening and had Din tai feng.........



Wanted to get NARS blusher, but thought of it again, and decided to buy the blusher from the vending machine, and is so cute ! and is like $10 SGD
OMG, packing always seem to be a problem... Slowly and steady, but hope we will get there....

There's the problem of havin WIFI in room, always facebook and instagram first !

Thank God, we are are travelling via Cathay to Hong Kong, and to pack bag within the bag.... too ease on the carrying part. So a cargo bag to shop in HKG !
