Taiwan Trip Day 7
::Kaohsiung - Singapore::

finally, the 7 days in Taiwan has come to an end. it's the last day today T_T will be flying back to Singapore in a few hours time.

woke up pretty late again, did everything in a rush, and also to dump everything inside our luggage before pulling it down to the breakfast area. we were really late, being the last batch of people going down for breakfast, everyone has gone down to the lobby to wait for the bus.

ready to leave

last hotel breakfast in Taiwan

my breakfast

fast fast eat, fast fast go! haha

after eating, we rushed down to the lobby immediately, bus was already waiting for us. we were brought to 2 more places before they sent us to the airport.

first was to visit some kind of pearl making places. another tourist scamming place. damn, those people kept emphasizing the pearl is good for the skin, good for this, good for that. and insist us to buy it. well, the 4 of us the first to run away from them lol.

at the hotel lobby

boarding the bus soon!

attending the pearl talk

boring and scamming place, i fell asleep tho!

and next, we were brought to Vigor Boko, Kaohsiung branch. remembered we went to the same shop, but Taipei branch, during our Day 1. and a few of us actually did order pineapple tarts which we will be collecting on the last day of our trip!

went in and continue to try on those sample for free. haha. but still, i did not buy anything there. my bag got no space to put anything anymore though!

and yeah, before we board the bus to Kaohsiung Airport. time to have a group photo with the tour group including the tour guide and the bus driver. well, these 7 days together really brought us close together. glad to know 2 new friends and some nice aunties and uncles.

although the whole entire group has only the 11 of us, but it was filled with fun, joy and laughter. we enjoyed throughout the trip.

the young teens with the bus driver and tour guide

now with the whole entire group ^^

back to the bus, and off we go to Kaohsiung International Airport. checked in our luggage and bid farewell to our dear tour guide. he's one of the best tour guide i ever had.

well, there's like 2 hours more before boarding. we wandered around the airport, looking for feng shui area for wireless to be detected. and i did a last minute shopping of souvenirs for my friends. lol. stupid me to shop at airport. that's the worse ever place to do shopping because the price is always double from outside. it's a money scamming place, and they did it openly! haha.

Kaohsiung International Airport

in a few hours time, my handphone will not detect Kaohsiung City as my location anymore =/

our flight timing!

queue up to check-in

random stamping to kill time

we love Taiwan!

Free Internet found, O.o

entering the departure gate

wow, shopping inside airport haha

to board SOON!

our boarding passes

yay, after waiting for like 2 hours in the airport, finally it's boarding time. well, although it's still China Airlines, however the plane was much more smaller than the one we came with. there's not alot of passengers also, still got alot of empty seats left.

and i'm so happy because i got my favourite window seats =D and we must wait until the plane up in the midst of the air, then they will come and served us lunch. lol. wait until i fell asleep loh.

board the plane finally!

on the plane

time to take off

beautiful clouds!

our different set of lunch.

after eating, we fell asleep again. i have no idea why is it that it's so nice to sleep. as in, we really fell asleep, not that kind half sleep half awake condition. it's totally sleep and went into lalaland. i guessed we really lack of sleep for the past 7 days.

when i woke up suddenly, i was surprised that 3 hours plus have already gone. we're reaching in less than an hour time. looking out of the window, i kinda missed Singapore!

and we reached Singapore finally, the plane landed at around 6.30pm. we waited for the people to go off first before we slowly walked out of the plane, to the immigration checkpoint and then to retrieve our luggage. i hate this part, have to wait super long for our luggage to be out.

Singapore island spotted, and yeah, TOUCHED DOWN!

Singaporeans to the express lane.. ALL THE WAY ^^

back in Singapore

waiting for luggage

luggage retrieved back =)

well, Moo came to pick us up at the airport too. i helped him to buy his wine and then off we went to Popeyes Chicken for our dinner before heading home. and with our big bag small bag, i doubt we can make it back home by train or by bus. Ginnette called her parent to pick us up at the airport with their van. seriously, so nice of them !!

her father sent us back to our home individually since we lived nearby each other. so sorry for the trouble, but thank you very much =D

skytrain to T3..
for our dinner there

enjoying our first meal in Singapore after 7 days

inside the van..

ALL SQUEEZED =D

and back home is another torment. have to unpack my luggage, clear all my barang barang, and all the nonsense things i bought back from Taiwan. lol. everything in a mess, i had a super hard time to unpack all of them.

poured out everything from all my 3 bags, and yea i really bought alot. like seriously! hahaha

all my things to unpack

and yeah, i truly enjoyed my 7 days in Taiwan with my friends. although it was just the 4 of us, but we made this trip happened. a wonderful 7 days together, filled with memories which we will remembered forever. photos will witnessed all the fun and laughter we had together.

new friends made during the trip. complaining and complaining of those PRC people who totally got no manner at all. the super freezing cold weather there especially on our first day of the trip. we almost froze to death while standing on the road attempting to take a picture showing that it's out ah gong's road. the forever hunting of Taiwan milk tea. the escaping from the smelly-tofu smell, it really stinked alot. well, there's really alot more.

i remembered i came with 8.6kg luggage, but i am back with 21kg. hahaha. i bought alot, but i did not spend alot.

and now, finally i'm done with my 7 days of Taiwan post. so tiring, it's just a 7 days post, but it took me close to 5 months to complete it. can you imagine, i wasted 5 months, and only came out with a 7 days post of my Taiwan trip.

5 months for which i have piled up 39 more events post. happy blogging then :
