Taiwan Day 5

Day 5.
When we were still planning for the trip, we had a big headache trying to decide where to go by taking the High Speed Rail.

The tickets for HSR is very expensive and plus throughout the whole trip, we only stayed in one hotel. We hate to keep changing hotel. So we were quite restricted by that fact. We only wanted an experience with the HSR, but dont want to waste time traveling 1 hr to GaoShiong too.

So end up, we took the HSR to Taoyuan and we visited Window on China and Taimall (Largest shopping center there). The journey there cost us $16(two ways), 20 mins journey.

Our tickets!

Interior of the train!

Ooooh! Our Reflection! I like....

So here we are! We had to take a cab over from Taoyuan HSR station! Its like another 45 mins journey.

Our tickets! Cost us around $23 bucks each!

So here we go, everything is miniatures okay? Surprisingly, they look so much prettier in photos than in real life.

Weather was very hot that day, we dont even need to bring our big ass jacket. But hey, sun was damn bright, thus very beautiful photos!

GIANT!

This one look so real.

Mini water damp.

I like this!

The pretty sun rays....

Another photo that I really like.

We even went to feed kois!

I like this! I am a Giant. Like Gulliver Travel!

Great wall of China..

Spot doramon..

Doramon world is located in Window of China.

Doramon house!

We had to take the train to the other part of the themepark.

Seriously, the sun rays are so beautiful.

Baby insisted in taking a photo of this. He says it is a miniature of nothing.

They are our Taiwan friends we met there. It started when the guy ask us to help them take a photo and we asked them to help us as well. When we were queuing up for the Nile Adventure which is some water ride, they asked if we wanted to sit with them. So there you go, we finished the rest of the day with them. So funny but kinda cool..

The ferris wheel.

The overview of Window on China.

After we bid goodbye with our Taiwan friends, we cabbed over to Taimall. Reason why we keep cabbing in Taoyuan because the places where we go are not very accessible by public transport.

I think we spend around $80 in total on cabs that single day man.. Haiyo..

So this is Taimall. It is so big that it has a indoor basketball court, golf course and a inline skating ring!!!

Then we had our dinner at this Japanese Restaurant. Food is so cheap. We each ordered a set meal for about $10 each and we had a side dish for only $3 I think.

My Pork Katsudon.

Baby beef thingy..

Milk pudding which I don't like.

Tickets back to Taipei..

Our purchases for today..A lot of miscellaneous and dogggie stuffs.
