Day 2
 

-Ate breakfast and went down to the hotel lobby.
-Was told that we couldnt go up the bus.
-Imagine my horror when I realised that 99% of the tour group was already on the bus when we were finally allowed onto the bus.
-The horror got worse when I realised that my seat was just right in front of two little kids.


-The horror worsened when I almost fell through the emergency exit. Who builds emergency exits that are so dangerous anyway?!


-Went to Yehliu, the place with pretty impressive rock formations like this one, the map of Taiwan.


-And this, Nv Wang Tou.


-I have a love-hate relationship with bridges. Bridges are nice because they are damn romantic and nice to look at but I hate them because once I ascend a bridge, I can take an eternity to get down. I was practically sliding down the bridge I climbed up in Japan. In a skirt somemore!


-The sexy peek-a-boo toilet. One can practically see through the door lo! Although it's a guys toilet but still, wtf?! The toilet at one petrol station was even worse. The guys toilet had no door at all! As in for the urinals portion. I was originally very sleepy when I walked to the toilet and was immediately shocked awake by the toilet.


-Ate this fried seaweed snack there. Salty but good. I love anything seaweed.


-Saw Ayase Haruka at Yehliu!!!! Okay, not exactly her in real person but rather her poster. Tried to find Hiraoka Yuta's poster but to no avail. :(

-Next stop was Chiufen which I didnt like very much.
-Too many tourists, too narrow roads and too many large vehicles on the road. I really hate the traffic in Taiwan.


-Everyone had to run into a shop when this vehicle passed by because it was just impossible for someone to walk on the street without getting killed with this vehicle on the street.


-Ate fishball, meatball, sharkball, and whatever balls they had in this shop which was opened by a seriously narcissistic lady. I mean, who practically plasters her shop's walls with her own pictures?! I've finally found someone who is more narcissistic than Tony Khoo. Hahaha.


-Loving this woman's outfit.


-Next stop was Nantien Gong.

-Had to take a 3-hour long bus ride to Hualien.
-What is a 3-hour long bus ride compared to the 4-hour long bumpy bus ride I took before in China?
-It was worse because of the fact that half the bus ride was on a winding road.
-Seriously felt like puking in the middle of the bus ride.
-Contemplated getting some medicated oil from my sister but she was asleep.
-Felt that someone up there likes me very much when the lady(Denise) in front of me used her medicated oil. So, although I wasnt directly using it, the smell alone was enough.

-Had a great dinner at the hotel. In fact, it was the best hotel I've stayed in during this whole trip...and it had nothing to do with the cute bellboys/waiters in the hotel.
-Ate spaghetti, salmon and mango ice-cream. My favourite food~
-Traumatised the sushi guy because I chose like 2 out of the 6 ingredients I think he was supposed to wrap in the temaki sushi.
-The sushi guy traumatised me even more when he handed me my temaki sushi...without rice.


-Wen dao-yu told us that there will be a 7-Eleven near every hotel that we will be staying in.
-Felt damn cheated by him because 7-Eleven was like miles away from the hotel that we stayed in.
-Didnt help that a dog tried to follow us back to the hotel.
-Traumatised the dog by screaming because it appeared all of a sudden in front of me. Paiseh, who asked you to traumatise me first.


-H Alien City. Sounds damn wrong can...in Japanese.


-Caught the hotel people laughing when I was taking this photo. What?! Cannot box reindeers arh?!


-Have a habit of leaving the electricity on when I leave the hotel room so we originally used this book to hold the key in place because it kept popping out of place. Our always helpful tour guide, Victor, had a more indigenous idea of using the toothbrush in place of the key. Eh...what am I going to use to brush my teeth?

Walked around the hotel and I saw men wrapped around in bathrobes coming out of the spa place. Normally men in bathrobes are sexy...if they look like Domoto Koichi...but it's just wrong when their bathrobes are not tied tightly enough.

So yup, end of day 2.
