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 soldAfter 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.
