Crazy Items (2nd Trip to Taiwan)

When you go on a trip with a different purpose in mind, the things that you buy back will be different too. I got to admit that this time there was quite a bit of redundant but since I love them all I don't mind. Haha.

Combined forces of Queen and myself (minus posters)

Poster that they gave out at the concert for fans who came from overseas:D


'Touch Your Heart' EP & MRT card given to fans as well :D

the 2 lovely posters which I brought :D


Posters which Queen bought

The key chain I happened to find by chance

The mug I bought but still can't bear to use


Besides buying things for myself, I also bought some stuff for my sister.

DVDs which she has been dying to get
Posters, photo, calendar and mug of her favourite
Besides buying things for my sister, of course Queen and I won't forget about dear RF

Besides all these, of course there is also the fabulous bread that made Queen and me went back a second time before we left.

white, fluffy and delicious bread :D

the chocolate bread which made us went back again

Out of so many things which I bought there was one which is really memorable.

Can guess what's in this 2 bags?

Yup, all these in that 2 bags

I bet the staff at Kinokuniya situated at Breeze Centre got a shock when I requested for 4 of Fahrenheit's photobook. But I got to clarify here. Only one book plus that magazine belong to me. I bought the other 3 books on other's behalf cause it was cheaper there.

I said that this items are the most memorable because after I bought all that Queen and I walked all the way back to our hotel from Breeze Centre. With a bag in each of our hands we walked at least 30 minutes.

Anyway, this trip to Taiwan was really nice. We got to enjoy the concert, enjoy the cool weather (minus the rain), enjoy the shopping for idols stuff and enjoy the food.

To end of, just 2 pictures of Taipei Arena which I took:)

2nd Trip to Taiwan (23 Oct - 27 Oct) - Part 5

27 October 2009 - By the time we finish packing the night before, it was already almost 3am in the morning. And since it was the last night there we decided to chit-chat. So we only fell asleep at around 6am.

9 plus we woke up and refreshed ourselves as well as prepare for check-out. Since our flight is at 7:10pm we only need to be back to catch our bus to the airport at around 3:30pm.
Our first stop for the day was to Taipei City Hall again to get more of the delicious bread that we both liked and to walk around more.


After that short walk around, we took the train to Nanjing East to do some shopping around. Since there was a craving for chicken, we walked around looking for a place selling chicken cutlet.

But haha.... what we bought in the end wasn't cutlet, it was chicken pieces. At least it's easier to eat while walking.

With some help on the directions from the locals, we found Breeze Centre, the mall that we wanted to go.


Since most of the things sold in the mall are branded goods, all we did was simply walk around and to get the stuff I needed from Kinokuniya situated at the top floor of the building.

After getting the things, Queen and I each with 2 carriers in hand walked from the mall back to our hotel and prepare for our journey to the airport.

This marks the end of the 5 days 4 nights Taiwan concert trip.

2nd Trip to Taiwan (23 Oct - 27 Oct) - Part 4

26 October 2009 - After a very good rest to around noon, we decided to do some serious shopping. We took the train to Yong Chun Station in the hope of finding 五分鋪 so that we can look around.

Before we started our shopping, we decided to have our breakfast/lunch at one of the shops.

After lunch which was not really satisfying, we walked along the streets in the hope of finding our shopping place. But we just could not make our way there. So in the end we changed our plans and walked to Taipei 101 instead.

Random walking can sometimes prove to be good, cause we found something that we have wanted to look for when we reached the city!


What made us take note of this shop and want to visit that badly?

Reason below:

After eating the fries, we knew why it was so popular. Cause the fries is rather delicious. Even as I'm typing now and looking at the pictures it's making my mouth water.

Different flavours sold
After taking our snack, we walked over to Taipei 101. On display when we entered the mall was my favourite car.

Since there was nothing much we could buy in 101, we simply just took a walk in the mall before we walked over to the other side of Taipei City Hall to look for a bread shop which we wanted to go as well.

After we got what we wanted, we went to Eslite bookstore and roamed around for some good books or magazines. However we left empty-handed to our next destination, Ximending.

The minute we stepped onto the streets of Ximending, our attention was caught almost immediately by a shop. Although it was situated at the 2nd level but since they had posters pasted on the first floor, we decided to check it out.

When we stepped in, it was like heaven for us. It was a shop selling idols merchandise and there were like plenty of things available for the one we love.

We stayed in that shop for like an hour or so before we paid for the things we bought. But after seeing another poster on our way out we made our way back and stayed for like another 30 minutes.

Since it was already close to 8pm when we finally stepped out of the shop, I decided to get some food from a famous shop nearby.

Our original plan was to take a walk around Ximending then leave to shop and eat at the local night market. However there were just too many distractions at Ximending that we only managed to shop there before we return to our hotel at 10 plus.

Since it was already our last night there, we packed our luggage, took photos of the things we bought in that one night out at Ximending, ate the bread we bought and decided something.
We'll go back to the bread shop before our departure! Haha... One last part coming up and let's see if I can post pictures of whatever I bought there in that same part.
