With Mom! =)

Supposed to go US... then bcos no available dates suitable, we signed up for Jiu Chai Gou.
Then kena Earthquake!! - Just a week b4 departure!!
*hope that situation there will improve soon!!*

So emergency diversion- Taiwan! =)

It's my 2nd trip with only mom! the previous was b4 i started uni, so it's quite quient to end uni with another.
it's great travelling with mom! cos she does most of the nagging and worrying abt stuff and all i do is have fun irritating her =p
We went for a round-taiwan tour (whole island), so it was alot of travelling.. (which i hate cos looong bus rides give me motion sickness).. and the typhoon rains kept ruining moods as the night markets won't open... but comming back and looking at the photos, i really enjoyed myself v v much! i love mummy!! =)

roughly sum the photos (for my memory's sake):
1st 2 pics:some beach to see the queen's head rock (can you see?)
3rd: golden ma zu
4th: taroko gorge - v loong winding bus ride
5 & 6th: in the mountains of hua lian - beautiful scenery
last row first2: some pics in temples

Taipei

First 3 rows: Taipei 101!!
They have these characs called Damper Kids!! hahahaha.. ref to the big damper ball located at the top of the building to to counter-balance and sway it back to eqm when there are strong winds/earthquakes bcos it's so tall.. .. but who cares, they're cool to take photos with =) 3rd row: views from above, which seriously ain't anything great lah.. but for the damper kids- super worth it! hahaha.. also go to the 91st floor where they allow you to step outside: it was soooo windy! DON'T WEAR DRESSES!! reveal all!! hahahahha

Last row pics: first 2: with our Tour Guide Yao- she's really experienced and respected among the tour guides in taiwan, everywhere we go ppl know her, even guides of other groups will greet her. i love her explanations when we visited the museum abt the jade bai chai.. and she speaks PERFECT chinese- i couldn't understand fm958 djs when i came back!

Last 2 pics: Taiwan's mrt map! we took mrt to wu fen pu, but it was closed!! it's only open in the afternoon!!!
so we went back Xi Men Ding (last pic) which was near our hotel to shop and eat ah Chong Mian Xian & drink bubble tea again!! =)
