As usual, Taiwan is lots of fun with lots of good food, lots of clothes to buy and lots of pretty girls =). This time round we stayed in a hostel instead of hotel. The place we stayed in was called Eight Elephants (EE) Hostel, somewhere in Shida, near Guting MTR. The location of our hostel is quite good and the hostel is very well maintained and very clean, so I guess I did not get a 'culture' shock when I arrived at the hostel.

We took damn a lot of photos there over the 7 days I will just do a brief summary of the trip with some photos:
Day 1: Singapore to Taipei, followed by dinner at Ximending then a bit of exploration there

Day 4: Beitou Hot Springs, Danshui Fishrman's Wharf, then pubbing at Roxy 99 with 2 of our newly made friends from EE hostel. Free Entry and 4 free drinks before 11pm .. super worth it =)

Day 5 - All of us woke up late due to pubbing the previous day, so we decided to do shopping at Ximending, Wufenpu and then visited Huaxi Night Market later in the evening.

Our baggage after 7 days!
Well I guess I will not be going back to Taiwan soon, at least not for the next few years, although it is a really nice place. Will be exploring other places.
That's all for now, shall go back to packing my bags for SEP.
