Tanjung Sepat 6 Nov 2011
We went early in the morning by using my GPS as a guide. Lucky that the route to Tanjung Sepat from Seremban is not so difficult and i did not lost my way there.
Our first destination is Hai Yew Heng to buy the paos there. I read in many blogs that we need to be there early to buy the paos. However, when I reached there, there were no one lining up. Anyway the paos are not ready yet. So, we went to have breakfast at the coffee shop opposite Hai Yew Heng. This shop is also selling the paos from Hai Yew Heng, so we also ordered a few to eat while waiting to buy the freshly made paos.
The paos bought at the coffee shop
The paper at the bottom of the pao also have the 'hai yew heng's name'
Fried crab- delicious ( i forgot to take photo of the fried crab before it is cut to pieces)
We also managed to buy the freshly made paos from Hai Yew Hing- so happy.. and i'm lucky that i do not have to line up long to buy them
Next, we went to a shop selling coffee powder. The shop owner is friendly and gave us sample of the coffee drink
After that, we went to the Lover's bridge
Pasar pagi near the lover's bridge
Lover's bridge- it's just a normal bridge. Dunno why it is called as lover's bridge
We had lunch at the restaurant near the lover's bridge.
My lunch
Our last destination is to the Mushroom Ganofarm. It has a homestay there, but we did not stay there. Just went to see the mushroom production and bought some product produced by mushroom from there

7th day/ Last day in Taiwan
On the last day, we did not go anywhere. We just had breakfast in the hotel. Since we have so much time before leaving for airport, we went out of the hotel to see if there's anything to buy/eat at the nearby shops. Unfortunately, we could not find any coffee shop nearby. It's either the area that we stayed at do not have coffee shops which start business early or Taiwan is different from Malaysia where we have coffee shops that open early.
Anyway, I felt sad that it's the last day already because i really enjoyed my time in Taiwan although I do not spend a lot of time in some of the places that I visited. Hope to go to Taiwan again in the near future!!

6th Day in Taiwan
The 6th day in Taiwan is considered the last day already as we will depart from Taiwan early in the morning the next day. On that day, we travelled back from Hualien to Taipei. On the way, we stopped at Chungte Recreational Area for a break. So, of course we took the time to take photo as we can get a clear view of the Pacific Ocean.
After that, we went to a biscuit shop to buy souvenirs and food to bring back Malaysia. There are many types of biscuits sold and the good thing is that we can test whatever biscuits that we want.
We also went to the fortune teller shop after that where many 'bixiu' was sold. You can have your fortune told whether it's for your career, love or others. After that, they will recommend you to buy a bixiu as a protective charm.
For the last place, we went to Xi Men Ting to do some shopping there before going back to hotel.

5th day in Taiwan
On that day, the first place that we went to is the Taroko National Park. On the way there, the bus parked at the roadside before going up the windy road for us to take photos of the entrance.
Then, we went up the hilly and windy road. After that, the bus stopped at a place where's there is place for tourists to sit while waiting for the others to walk up to a shrine on top of the hill. There's also a cafe there where it serves cakes and coffee.
I walked up the hill. There's already a trail for tourist to walk and we have to walk through cave tunnels. There are shrine in the cave for those who have died while building this place.
At last, we reached the top of the hill where there's hill water. The tour guide told us it is 'Long life water'. Everyone took a sip so I also follow and drank a sip of the water.
After that, we went to the Lingzhi shop. The lingzhi were sold by an aborigine tribe of Taiwan. I cant remember the name of the tribe but I met the princess of a tribe there.
Next, we went to the marble stone factory. Nothing much .. just that we saw many types of jades. After that, we went to watch a performance by the A mei tribe. It was quite enjoyable, and i see that the performers were having fun while performing too. But my camera is not so high tech. So, the photos came out quite blur.
The last place that we visited on that day was the Hualien night market.

Yes Sir, Sorry Sir
I have just finished watching Yes Sir, Sorry Sir. I was a bit disappointed with the ending. All the main leads do not end up with each other.. =(
Anyway, the story is on Moses Chan being an undercover in a band 3 school. A band 3 school in Hong Kong has many naughty students (this is what i understand from this drama). In the school, he met another teacher which is Tavia Yeung. Linda Chung was also hired by the school as the bowling teacher. In order for Moses to investigate a triad group, he has to court Linda as Linda is the sister in law of the triad head. From there,we can see how Moses tries to show a happy face while he is with Linda although the person that he likes actually is Tavia.
However, I do not really enjoy the show at the beginning as i feel that it is a bit over exaggerated but towards the end, the show became interesting. However, as I mentioned in the beginning of this blog, I'm disappointed of the ending.

4th day in Taiwan
On the 4th day, the places that we went to were mostly temples. The first destination was the Hai Bao pearl and jewellery where the shop sell pearl powder and nice pearl bracelets and pendants.
After that, we went to the Shang Di temple.
After that, we went to the Dragon and Tiger Mouth. According to our tour guide, we must enter the dragon mouth and exit from the tiger mouth. We cannot enter the other way because it will be bad to enter a tiger's mouth.
We went to Kwan Im temple after that. Next, we went to Fuo Guang San. We have to climb a lot of steps to reach the top but the scenery at the top is very nice.
After all the temples visit, we continued our journey to Lu Ye Hot Spring & Spa. I didn't go into the spring. I just soaked my leg in the spring. One of the uncle actually swam in the spring just like swimming in the pool!
After the hot spring, we went to put up the night in Little Bear resort. The room we stayed in the resort is not as nice as the hotels that we stayed in the few days before. However, we had a very enjoyable night as there were a few groups of tour from other countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore and we assembled at an open air court to have a gathering and games. It reminded me of during my school days campfire and I really enjoyed that night. Most of the people were so sporting also and joined in the fun. We ended the night with releasing the kong ming lantern and firework.

3rd day in Taiwan
Today, our trip is from Tai Chung to Kao hsiung. Our first stop was at a shop selling Shandi local products. The employees in the shops are Taiwan aborigines. They sell products such as royal jelly and flower pollent.
Next, we went to the Zhong Tai Temple. The place is so big and it looks more like a hall to me than it is a temple. There was a person in charge who brought us around and informed us on the temple's stories and histories.
After that, we went to the Sun Moon Lake. We paid 500 yuan to take the boat to a small island. The boat driver explained the buildings and places that we passed to us. In the small island, there were a small performance by also an aborigine tribe people. There is also an old woman selling herbal egg there and seems that the eggs are very famous.
Next, we went to Wen Woo temple. As I'm more excited to buy the souvenirs which were sold at the bottom of the temple, I only took photos of the temple from outside and went to buy the souvenirs. We also went to Peacock park just to take photos of the peacocks which were showing off their feathers.
Lastly, before going to the Luye night market, we stopped at the Dream Mall first. Our tour guide gave us time to go and sit on the ferris wheel but no one went as the ticket price is quite expensive. I went inside the mall to have a walk and the place is quite empty... i think it's due to the price of the things sold there. All the things sold are quite expensive which are more for rich people.
