Life in Taiwan (Chapter 2)

Here we meet again!

The first month in Taiwan has ended, so yeah, I'm here with a new entry!

I know everyone in Penang is complaining how hot the weather is, but I'm sorry to say that it's really cold here! We don't really enjoy the cold weather though and we get excited whenever sun appears, but I still prefer cold than hot hahaha.

Here are three photos of our trip to Neiwan(內灣). The day we went was like the coolest day in Hsinchu since we came. We were planning to visit the lavender garden but due to time shortage we just went for some walk on the streets and search for food instead. And seniors were saying that the lavender garden in Taichung(台中) is more beautiful, so I guess we'll just have to wait...

can you see how cold the weather is...

but yeah despite the cold weather we craved for ice-cream! Lol

Mochi? I forgot the exact name but it's kind of a famous food in Neiwan I think? Haha

additional photo: Cheesy potato from Xi Men Ding(西門町)! I ate it when I went to Taipei last month because I was missing the same food from Perak Road Friday Night Market :(

Well, this entry is supposed to be mainly about my birthday trip to 十八尖山, a garden quite near to the town area, and since it's spring, of course we can't miss out the chance to see pretty flowers! 

Umm, I'm not that hardworking on finding the species of flowers so you may just look through the photos without caption Hahaha.

this spider is such a beauty! I was shocked to see it at first but I can't take my eyes off it later :3

my favourite of the day! If I'm not mistaken, this shall be lavender! But there's not much of it...

I was so excited to see them heheh 

Okay, it's the end of Chapter 2! Be sure to look forward to the next chapter because I'll be going on a one-day-trip to Jiufen(九份) next week and there are more outings coming soon! 

Stay tuned ;)

Life in Taiwan (Chapter 1)

Hello! It has been a month since we met(?) My study life has started and it's already my third week in Taiwan! Oh wait, it's March already?! Wow, it's like we've only been celebrating New Year yesterday...

Well, I believe that you already know about my style of blogging: more photos but less talk! So let's begin the story! 

It's my first time watching the sunrise on a plane! And look at the sky full of clouds, so mesmerizing...

It was raining when we arrived at Taoyuan International Airport, and the weather's freaking cold, even until now...

if you're wondering how cold the weather is, here's my friend's 风油 which is frozen!

Without further ado, I'm gonna introduce the environment of my university to you.

can you see how strong the wind was? We were freezing up there!

one of my favourite photos taken in Taiwan ;)

It's like a big garden, the flowers are pretty, the air is fresh and the views are green, good for our eyes hahaha. But most of the trees are bold (due to the winter?), I promise to post photos of the trees full of leaves for the next chapter... 

pretty dandelion!

the precious husky in the university, it was smiling at me! I'm not a fan of dogs but isn't it cute :3

The streets of Taiwan are really long, full of shops, food stalls and restaurants, you would've no chance to worry about food!

We went to Taipei last Saturday. It's quite near from the university, only an hour of distance by bus. We were too late to arrive so we only visited Taipei zoo and a night market, and we weren't able to walk the entire zoo. 

The quality of my photos taken in the zoo are bad, so I won't post a lot of photos about it. Anyway, the main point we went there was to see the three pandas! They're extremely adorable I even took videos of them, and also cute penguins! 

The poop designs outside the toilet hahaha.

团团, 圆圆 & 圆仔!

排队走回家

Last but not least, the following photos will be the food I had here. Some are nice but some made me sad because I'll miss Penang food even more... Send me Hokkien Mee, White Curry Mee, Koay Teow Th'ng, Tomyam etc!

 I'm missing spicy food although I'm not good at eating them but Taiwan food is really lacking of chilly and spicy taste, even the Mc Donalds and KFC don't provide chilly sauce!

tbh bubble milk tea in Malaysia tastes better...

鸡蛋糕! This was really good!

 Taiwanese put a lot of effort in food packaging because they're really nice! Not only these two,there are many prettier ones, I guess that's how they attract customers hahaha very impressive.

super yummy 饭团 as breakfast is perfection!

dessert at night

this 甜不辣 is addictive too!

egg tarts sold in KFC hahaha I know you don't have these in Malaysia but you definitely won't wanna miss 'em out, so finger lickin' gooood.

stinky tofu... ahem... no comment... well it tastes like normal tofu (to me) when you put it into your mouth but I'm sure you won't wanna smell it before that...

A lunch treat from my class teacher during class meeting! Tasty 锅贴 accompanying me while completing my Japanese class homework. And yeah, I took Japanese as my extra class, unbelievable huh? 

That's all for now! See you in my Chapter 2! Adieu!
