Humid weather, is what we remember the most about spending last summer there (by us, i mean dad, mom , myself ). Ever since Hadi, my little brother being accepted at NTU, Taipei as an agricultural student there, our family only have one destination to go for summer vacay...
Hence it is my third time to be back again in Taipei, we're still trying out new things other than most tourist attraction.
( part one : Taichung)
me: let's take a family portrait using self-timer!
everybody: sure!

me: HAHAHAHA! too left side and there's no me..
third attempt

me: hahahaha wayyy tooo fasttt

(the phone flipped back)
the first attempt is indeed the best photo of us taking family picture
with just self timer and a wall concrete. :D
Taiwanese traditional shaved-iced will be indeed make the most sales that day...
(part two: Sun Moon Lake)
The sun by the lake; left: the sun already risen , right: the hint of colour created before the sun rise.
The Sun Moon Lake, famous for its boiled egg, despite of the hot weather, we still decided to hike the trail along the hill to get the best view of the lake.
Le brother taken before the rain started.
Ferry accomodate by the hotel, we crossed the lake into another island there. The weather is quite sunny, although suddenly started pouring rain...
Sunny yet bright and windy.
Aesthetically-pleasing-rest-stop.
Little brother being so happy for finding his favorite bamboo-shot baked mochi topped with sweet condensed milk.
Around the island accrosed the Sun Moon lake, there are many stores along the alley for little snacks, whether traditional or fusion.
(part three : Tianwei)
Visiting some relatives in Tianwei here, and they brought us to see a place where you can buy many kinds of plants, you named it from air-type plant to cactus and water plant... drooling over the plant and crying because you can't even bring them home :(
Dream garden... uh, I wished!
(part four: Beitou District)
Quite packed with any kind of tourist sightseeing, from a valley, the source of all hot-spring resort near Beitou, named 'Hell Valley', to museum and where you can see the mixing culture of Japanese invansion back in 1895 and Taiwanese culture, to the modern building of Taipei Public Library.
Geothermal Valley
Taipei Public Library - Beitou Branch.
Get back from Beitou - Taipei.
Train, is a popular and convenient public transport, to get along between city in Taiwan.
(part five: Shifen waterfall)
Pretty stores along the railway station.
(part six: Taipei)
The sunset taken from my brother dorm room.
Hands down to the best and cheapest milk tea bubble in Taipei. Fyi, it's only 1usd.. yet the bubble is so soft and chewy the moment it entered in your mouth and still warm cause it's fresh made.
Default - mrt - father - brother pose.
Taipei by night.
Quotes sticker in the mirror of the museum building.
Pretty dried flowers.
Brother attended a class that afternoon that day, we decided to meet Su Jen Ai at a bus stop, took a pic before Ai arrived.
The default order of walk: brother showing the right direction, mom missed talking with brother much, dad wandering around the surrounding, me; trying to capture the moment a lot... :)
(part seven: moments to remember with relatives and family)
Apoh, Dad and Apoh's son
Back again in Taipei 101 after 10 years...
with Apoh and her grandson.
Having a great time in Taipei and hope to be back here again soon.
:)
Hope you have a great day
