Taiwan Exchange Trip Part 9

Went touring around the southern part of the island during the weekends because it was a public holiday on 10/09/2011. 

Work up at 5am in the morning and went to the train station because I had to catch a train at 7.10am.  

Looking good and all ready to begin our budget tour~!!

From left: Hanki from Korea, Ah Kit from Hongkong!!

Tried my best to pull off an emo shot!!!

After 5 hours, we finally reached 花莲! We meet up with Ah Kit's friend and begin our tour around 花莲!

Took a taxi to our 民宿. I think that our stay in the 民宿 was really worth the money. The staff were friendly and the rooms were clean. Furthermore, it only cost us 500NT per person for a night!!!

After unpacking our stuff, we went on a search for delicious food!!!

Our very first stop!!!

OMG!!

Even though it may look like wanton, but it is actually really nice~~!!!! Please do give it a try if you are in Taiwan!!!

Went to buy muah chee at this store. The muah chee taste really nice!!! Meiqing/Melvin, just get gifts for your friends and families in this store when you are in Taiwan. Their muah chee taste really nice and it is really affordable!!!

We bought 4 packets of muah chee but returned to get more the next day because we thought it was really nice!!

This is Hanki having to carry our muah chee for us after having lost the game of scissors paper stone!!! HAHAH. Throughout the whole tour, we used this particular game to determine who will handle all the chores!!! HAHAH. It was really funny!!

Went to some musem which was really boring.

We basically just camwhored!

OMG!!!!

PLEASE LISTEN TO ME.

If you are in 花莲，you definitely must give these 小笼包 a try!!!

THEY ARE HEAVENLY!!!!!

I really feel like having 20 of them now!!!!

After having our lunch, we returned back to our hostel and planned for our next itinerary.

Camwhored while Hanki kept fanning himself because the weather in Korea is never this warm and while my Hongkong friends were struggling to figure the way to the beach!!

We thought we could ride ourselves to the beach but we were terribly wrong!!!

It rained halfway...

Okay, we did arrive at the beach but it took us 1.5 hrs to ride there.

My legs were so fucking tired by the time we reached the beach!!! Darn!! Getting the bikes were a wrong choice right from the start!!!

It was such a coincidence because we manged to see our friends who were also touring around 花莲!

After leaving the beach, we headed to the night markets.

We had to ride to the night markets again because there is no cab that can accomodate 4 bikes! Darn!! We took another 1.5hrs to reach the night markets~!!! My legs were aching so much that i didn even feel like taking any photos in the night market. Anyway, we merely played and eat in the night market. There was nothing special.

Lastly, we rode back to our hostel again!!!

Can you imagine how tired I were when I returned to my hostel!!!!

Please heed my advice and not ride a bicycle when you are in 花莲 because it's a really really bad choice!!!!

More updates about my 花莲／台东 trip soon!!!
