Ok, Day 1. Flight to Taoyuan Airport from Singapore.
Whole family came and sent us off. Luggage weighed at around 15kg. *Phew* I thought I was going to exceed. =P
The flight was smooth! I came to hate flying after the flight from Kuala Lumpur. Turbulences really freak me out. During the flight to Taoyuan, there were little turbulences and the ones that happened were minor. =)
Managed to touch down at around 430pm. I was just telling PX that I was afraid my luggage would disintegrate under the weight when my luggage handle broke! I was trying to heave my luggage into the feeder bus to Taoyuan High Speed Rail (HSRT) when there was a really loud crack and the handle came off in my hand! Super unlucky!
We kept laughing about it and PX called me a jinx. =P
Had MOS Burger for dinner before our ride. Had so much time to spare that we camwhored quite a bit at the platform.
Finally! The super fast ride from Taoyuan to Zuoying Station.
We reached Zuoying at around 11pm. Had to rush to take the MRT to our hotel coz we didn't know what time the MRT closes.
But we had to wait for half an hour for the MRT to arrive!! It was really unexpected! We still had to change trains at the Formosa Boulevard station. In the end, when we reached that station, the MRT had closed. We had to take a cab. Luckily, the ride was quite cheap.
Finally, we reached our Kaohsiung Hotel - Kaohsiung Toong Mao Evergreen Hotel.
Our real Taiwan adventure started the next day. =)
*Things that amaze/surprise/shock/disturb me*

~Taipei turned dark at around 6pm
~A route may looked like a short distance on a map but it actually covers a great distance
