cultural immersion program in taiwan

day 1
we met at T3 @ Changi Airport early in the morning. oh god i was bloody sleepy and i overslept by 30mins. like a pig as usual.
as its a morning flight, we'd only reach taiwan at the evening and goodluck to me, coco (roommate) swapped her seat with chloe (junior) so we sat together through the 5h flight!


em food tho



flights are boring so... i watched {LUCY} its a really cool film that i definitely recommend!

soon, we alighted at taiwannn

while on the bus to taipei city


and soon, we went to have our dinner at See-Join Puppet Theatre



right after the dinner, we checked-in to Charming Hotel.

we got bored so we decided to go to the convenient stores near the hotel for instance " Family Mart" and i got this bc the bottle is damn pretty ahaha


day 2

we had breakfast at the hotel's restaurant and the food available there was completely not what ive expected, so i only got that little food in the morning.


after gathering we did a short tour around Taipei National University of The Arts.
this place is HUGE ahaha.
after the tour we did a program. guess what? its QiGong. like this involves flexibility and strength. ofcourse, i failed horribly LOL
after that. we head towards National Palace Musuem & Taipei Fine Arts Musuem.

some photos i took at the musuem!




we then left to TamSui Old Street for dinner, we also went to Fisherman's Wharf 



the java chip there is like 2 bucks(sing dollar) cheaper like YAAAASSS ahaha

day 3
breakfast in that morning 


before we  had a really long day at Taipei National University  of The Arts occupied with 2 programs which are Wushu & Traditional Oprah , i got this really cute hello kitty icecream its really cheap like its only 3 bucks  (sing dollar).


after completing those courses, we proceed to XiMenDing that we only had 1h to shop. COMPLETELY NOT ENOUGH TIME that i only got a piece of temporary tattoo, a black crop top, grey sweatpants & a black tie string bag.
*rolls eyes*
right before heading to shopping, we had dinner at the Modern Toilet. not dining in the toilet but something you may not have seen before. its basically a toilet themed restaurant and yes, it ruined my appetite tho. 


the toilet tho:


day 4

we checked-out of Charming Hotel and headed to Yilan. Jiao-Xi Hotspring. to soak their feet.

on the way to Yilan, while we're still at Taipei, we stopped by a field near Taipei 101 and took afew photos where personally ive been into the building in 2009 ahaha.


my outfit that day tho. FULL BLACK.



at the hotspring, i skipped the activity since we're only supposed to soak our feet lol also due to the fact that im a clean freak and just the thought of sharing the same water other people's feet had soaked in (you dk what they have done to their feet) it just completely disgusted me. 
so coco & i decided to have coffee at their cafeteria. my hazelnut latte completely taste like milk and i paid 5 bucks for a cup of milk ?!?!?!


we then left there to check-in at Yilan Toucheng Leisure Farm. i swear the spiders there are f*cking huge and it is damn dirty but thank god theres wi-fi there as well.


upon arrival, we had lunch at the farm then we took part in a DIY activity which is to decorate an environmental- friendly tote bag with leaves. 


we then made a tour arounf the farmmmm.
it was damn warm and tiring and dirty, i hated it there omg tho it was really pretty.


we had BBQ dinner with tablemates ? (idk id theres such word but basically is people that sat at the same table as us). theyre boyu, audryn, coco, zhiming, chin kong, vernon & kenneth. all i can say it did not went really well. wtvv.



 after dinner we get to release KongMing lantern 天灯 with out written wishes. ahaha i simply just wished something really simple, 4 characters:
 "我要开心"
which translates to "i want to be happy"
and its really beautiful!



that night, which is also the last night of the trip, im roommates with coco, audryn & boyu.
we got really close with the 4 juniors: jasmine, ethel, chloe & xinyi that we had a mini party in our room ahahaha. we watched chucky together as well as it was halloween night and it was really fun that night!

day 5


a crew picture keke.
these are basically my favorite people during the entire taiwan trip!
right before we board the plane back to singapore at the departure hall, ms weng (our tour leader) & us took 9 polaroids yes, we took 9 times ahaha.


pretty soon after that, we board the plane and left for our home sweet home. i meant them. AHAHA bc right after i took my luggage at the arrival hall, my friends are already waiting for me outside! what for? hmm.. do read up on my post further down! kekeke.
