Beijing (北京) – Part 1
It took 28 hours to get from Shenzhen to Beijing. Supposely 24 hours, but the train got delayed another 4 hours. This was the worst experience on the train as the following day, the train’s water supply was depleted. The experience worsens when this is in China. Reminds me of the Shinsengumi’s bacteria episode of Gintama.
Vacation Recap + LOOT!!
I don’t have jetlag! The flight back home felt a lot faster. Well, I was watching movies non-stop on the flight.
Ok, while I was queuing at my flight gate in HK airport, I had to go through many security checks. Two HK border securities asked me questions, and as I handed my ticket through the gate, a Canadian Border security asked me questions. I was the only one being asked. But, I figured it was because I am one of the few younger passengers and also travelling alone.
Here is a post of my thoughts on my LONG vacation.
Don’t worry, there are tons of pictures that I haven’t posted before. I will post my China adventures later.
Oct 14th!!!
Woot!!! I will be back on Oct 14th, not Nov 1.
Now to celebrate!
open source video, online video platform, video solutionTaipei – Last days
I mentioned that locals in Taiwan would easily recognize that I am not from around here. When I went to TaiChung, a girl thought I was Japanese. Just yesterday, another girl thought I was Japanese. Then my cousin’s girlfriend says that I do resemble a bit like Japanese or Korean. Hummm….
Anyways, this will be my last post before I leave for China tomorrow.
Miaoli
My aunt took me out to Miaoli, which is located inbetween Taipei and TaiChung. We took the bus and the ride was longer than I expected; 2 hours of sleeping and another 2 hours back.
Taipei – Lin Family Mansion & Garden, Shilin Offical Residence, Danshui (2)
Having no internet sucks. I am behind by 1 day.
Speaking of technology, my camera is taking a beating during my vacation. It is all scratched up and I can hear popping noise whenevever I squeezing my camera. But nothing is wrong interally. I don’t remember if I mentioned this, but I bought a spare battery for my camera two weeks before my vacation. And, I only used it a couple times before I accidently left it in my pants for the washer. I think I only had to change batteries twice. Great use of $6.
I left for Fuzhong station where you can find Lin family mansion and garden.
(more…)Taipei – Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, Dahu Park
Another hot sunny day in Taipei. Today I visited two places.
Now, whenever I take public transportation, I wear a mask to protect myself. I hate when people cough and don’t cover their mouth.
Taipei – National Palace Museum
After I ate lunch, my aunt took me to National Palace Museum. The museum contains a lot of sculptures and artworks from different dynasties. The only thing that I was more interested was the Buddha section as I have taken some courses on Buddhist art.
Taipei – Day…the 2 days after Kaohsiung
I just realized that all of my posts titled as Taiwan are wrong. Actually, they should have been labelled as Taipei to be more exact.
