Day 18 : 290508 Taipei

It is the last day of this trip!
Time flew so fast....no doubt miss home.. but also miss the life over here in Taiwan..

After finishing breakfast at TS for the last time, we made our way to Cashbox KTV@ XMD.. it consists of many storeys.. and is very grand.. look more like a hotel than a KTV..we were brought to the 4th floor to sing.. within the room, also have toilet..so u wun need to exit yr room and find toilet unlike over here..
as we went rather earlie to sing at ard 10am.. it was relatively cheap.. we sang for 3hrs before heading for lunch.. and yet to mention.. they have a scoring system for each song which you have sang.. making ktv experience more fun..it was worthwhile indeed!

for lunch.. we went to the toilet theme restaurant "ModeRN Toilet"..there's an outlet in XMD...basically the whole restaurant is decorated into a toilet theme.. with toilet bowls as seats.. plates and bowls in form of poo-shaped or toilet bowl-shaped..the food there was OK...it doesnt give me the WOW factor except for how the food was presented to us haha..there are also merchandise to be bought as souvenirs though i didnt buy ani haha..
the Ximending walker mascot in front of the Mrt Station

we left TS Hotel @ abt 240pm to wait for the Feigou Bus to pick us up.. it was a very UNcomfortable bus..and along the way, the driver has to pick up many people.. and most people are Singaporeans.. including some whom we saw in Hualien.. and cuz the bus was not very big.. people haf to carry luggages up the bus.. rather then being kept in a compartment..the weather was also very hot and the bus machiam no aircon.. den after picking all the people up... the bus brought us to somewhere to change to a more comfortable bus.. i wonder why cant the more comfortable bus pick us up directly from the hotels rather than the need to change bus.. eventuallie we took like 2h plus before we reached the airport..

the airport was kinda old..hear say they going to renovate it le... there wasnt many duty free shops.. we grabbed some food.. magazines.. jus to spend the leftovers before we checked in..and took the 5h flight back to sg~due to an unexpected heavy weight on this returning flight to Sg.. we were asked to change seats all the way to the back of the plane from row6 to row29 cuz they wanna balance the plane.. i think most people mus have bought many stuff..overload liao...is quite kuazhang..we did see people with cartons and cartons of items..haha

here is the duck we made in Sanyi Duck Factory:
here are the beans I bought.. ready to be planted:here are the food grabbed from airport and hualien muahchee..(the one in green packet is the best so far in my opinion!)

the items we won from playing 抓抓乐 and gun-game

souvenirs and DIY-items made during the journey~
this has been a wonderful trip!there are still many places in Taiwan yet to be discovered like Taitung..Tainan..Alishan..Leye..some areas of Hualien..Meinong etc..hope I have a chance again to visit these places in the near future~ that's the end of my travelogue.. hope all readers enjoy it too!
