Greatest SNOW FLAKE ICE EVER!!!!!!
Sorry for not updating as much as I use to. I just got back from Taiwan/ Japan on Tuesday and I've been having a bit of jet lag...This was the trip I've been looking forward to for YEARS! It's been four years since I've been back. It's crazy how fast time pass us by.
Caution: Lots of food involve in my trip! Lots of eating.......
Trip details:
Day 1 & 2/ Thu & Fri: Left home around 630am on Thursday, Sept 1st to Dulles International Airport. Our plane departed at 9am. The plane ride wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was about 14 some hours to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan.
We got to Japan around 33opm their time and left Japan on our next connecting flight at 5pm. Arriving to Taiwan at 8:15pm. We got out of the airport at 9pm... it took forever to go through the immigration line and finding our baggage at the baggage claim.
We didn't get home until 1030pm-ish which was too late for us to go to the night market like I was planing to.
Day 3/ Sat: Went to a super long 83rd birthday party (Grandpa) at this seafood place. It lasted from 11am - 3:30pm.... I had to rush out so I can make it to my haircut appointment at 4pm. After haircut we went to have a super yummy hot pot dinner then head to my aunts Optometrist store. It was nice seeing all the family again!
Day 4/ Sun: We had lunch and uncle/ aunt drove us down to the Taichung! We didn't come back to Taipei until 8pm that night due to heavy traffic...... it was a crazy and tiring day
Day 5/ Mon: Hung out with families all day!!!! Temple and food! Great day!
Day 6 & 7/ Tue & Wed: Got up super early and rode the High speed rail to Taichung. Had to be there by 9am......... the rest of the day was annoying.... lots of photo taking. We got to stay at this super nice hotel tho! The avg cost per night is about $700 USD! It's called the Lalu.
And more photo taking the day after that! ugh. We had dinner with grandma & aunt on Wed night! That was nice =D Got back to Taipei around 930pm then stayed at my cousins house!!!
Loving the high speed rail! Makes everything super easy!
Bento from the railway!Day 8/ Thu: Turned my dress in for alteration in the morning and had lunch with aunt, uncle and cousins then went visit my grandparents grave! God I miss them so much. I couldn't stop crying. Hung out w/the fam again in Taipei all night long~ Another great day!
Day 9/ Fri: Hung out w/the fam then went back to Taichung in the afternoon to pick out pictures. Dinner w/the fam again in Taichung afterwards.
Day 10/ Sat: Zoo with my nephew in the morning and a dig dinner with all my family at night!! Yummmmmm.
Day 11/ Sun: Had lunch scheduled with grandparents then dinner scheduled with my cousin's family. It's also the final goodbye day with everyone..... sad sad sad
Day 12/ Mon: Departed from Taipei, Taiwan to Narita, Japan at 8:45am. We got to Narita around 1pm and got to our hotel at 2:30pm. Then headed to Tokyo/ Shinjuku / Harajuku by rail & subway. Super long and boring day.... Lots of travel! Not much to buy due to the weak USD =(
Day 13/ Tue: Departed from Narita, Japan at 11am (Japan time). Got to Dulles International Airport around 11am on Tuesday (EST).
Here is my trip! Going back to Taiwan again in June 2012! I can't wait! Miss my nephew the most!
