Has been almost 6yrs since I last came to Taipei Taiwan. Touched down early today at 530pm and decided to go take a stroll at 士林夜市, the city famous night market where you can find anything and everything from food, fashion (With 80% woman fashion, it feels more like a "woman's market!), handphone accessories, winter gears, toys, ornaments, imitation products and LV & Prada are must haves'.
I've never seen that many people in my life. Everybody was walking on the road and clearly there was no distinction between vehicles on the road and pedestrians on the pavement. Everybody is walking everywhere....nobody seemed interested with the hectic traffic except for getting the best bargain from the flea market. Unbelievably, I bought 2 pairs of jeans at S$19 each and a belt for S$2.90. I must get the rest of the team to come visit this flea market in one of the next 3 days. Taxi ride was cheap at S$2.30 one-way. When it was almost dinner time, I was reminded of Ammiel's 香鸡排 and sizzling black pepper steak with macaroni and corn soup! I was determined to search it out & I found it hiden at the corner of another bustling street! At S$6.90, I get a set of the sizzling codfish (prefer fish to red meat) hotplate with soup, bread roll and lipton tea. Not bad for that price & it was yummy!
Got back to the hotel to clear some emails, called my parents & josh. Had a good msn chat with Egwin....he is one great guy! Any takers?? just kidding!
Gotta sleep....important meeting coming up tml & my day starts at 7AM. That means I gotta be up by 530AM. Yawn................
It will be a good week ahead!
