"To love someone is to understand each other, to laugh together, to
smile with your heart and to trust one another. One important thing is to let each other go if you can't do this."
"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best--" and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do,
there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. -- A.A. Milne, from The House at Pooh Corner
Before Hui Si could even finished her supper at the living room the previous night, I have already drop dead on my lovely bed which I will spent 5 night with. Woke up in the morning and we took turns to shower and getting ourselves ready. Met at the lobby and breakfast on the go.
I can only said the itinerary that day was very rushing, we kept running for buses or trains.
1st stop: Jiu Fen, 九份 From the moment we took the train to the destination train station, to the bus station to board the bus. We were running, all right half running. Most of the time you could heard Hui San saying "Faster, 快点 bus/train come already". Good chairperson *thumb up* :D
On the bus, Shu Ting and Hui San trying to take a photo but Weien and Junsheng tagged along :P
Before the bus start moving
A group picture, Shu Ting is professional in this field. She manage to capture all of us inside :D
Their version of ez-link card
九份 is actually located like the top of the mountain/hill? The bus I saw with Hui Si during the bus ride up. We kept swinging from left to right, right to left, front to back that kind of feeling. In short, the road is bumpy. Reached the place around noon time, snap a few photos before we proceed to our food hunt :D Seriously 6 days trip with them, been eating and eating from 11AM to 11PM (like some kind of opening store hours).
Some of them went to the washroom. What does the remaining people do? Take picture :D Shu Ting, me, Wilson
Me, Hui San, Hui Si
Shu Ting, me and Hui Si. Playing with our hookie.
The view there was really nice :) Sunny and cold.
While waiting for Shu Ting's camera to set up. We took really quite a lot of photos. Hui San is always quick for camera ;)
Me and Hui Si! My mum said, we do look alike. Do we?
Weien and Hui Si
Me, Hui Si and Weien
Me and Weien
Me and Junsheng, look how windy it is by look at our hairstyle.
Me and Hui San
Me, Hui San, Junsheng, Weien
Hui Si joined in ;D
Wilson joined in :)
Shu Ting joined in once her camera has been setup.
I don’t know what I'm doing here.
Picture again!
Candied shot!
Last picture before we hunt for food
九份 is more of the place for food where you can find many many local food there to be brought home. My mum warned me, do not bring food back from Taiwan. I did listened to her advise, I brought food back for office instead :P But I was doing tea hunting with Junsheng from the start of 九份 to the end of 九份. It's actually quite tiring , sampling all the different tea ;) Until someone in the group said "Haiya, see they went sampling for tea again!" lol
Alert! Food photos ahead!
First stop, fishballs soup. I like the fishballs there. The soup is refreshing and unique, unable to describe it. (I'm actually craving for it now)
Yum yum!
Must take a picture ;)
Hui Si is craving for corn, it's doesn’t taste that nice Xi Men Ding
One good thing I like was, every food we brought is shared by 7 people. So we can keep eating all kinds of different food there.
Guess what's this?
Junsheng brought smelly tofu!~
I like the purple one, till now I still don’t know what is that.
Beancurd with ginger soup and many other items
2nd stop: Shi Fen, 十分 Next we head back down to a train station to take a train to 十分 for sky lantern. It's was so rushing that we rush to purchase the tickets and the next train leave in 4 mins time. Ran to platform and got stuck in between all platform as we don’t know which platform should we go to. All I knew was we kept running and running for trains.
On the train, Weien, Hui Si and Junsheng
Shu Ting, Wilson, me and Hui San
We reached! Weien and Hui San
Everyone beside me, cause I'm the photographer :P
Me! With my mum oversize jacket
At the train station.
We were at 十分!
十分 is a place for sky lantern. We selected a store there and we begin our Chinese wording drawing (Yes drawing, most of us have forgotten most of the Chinese words except our names. I admit, I'm one of them) We choose the muti color where it represent Hope (Blue), Career/Studies (Yellow), Health (White), Family/Love (Red).
My chinese is lousy spot the mistake I wrote
All done :D
Group photo
We wanted to take more picture with the lantern lighted. Then, we heard the train sound, boo boo. We have to quickly release the lantern.
Up up and it go!
With sound cracker too ;)
And we have a series of mass spam photos with the track ;) But most of the photos are blurred.
Whoo, here come the train!
On the way back to the train station, we stopped over at the bridge area and took more photos. Heading oversea, everything also must capture right?
I like this jump shot but a failed photographer skill
Shu Ting, me and Hui San :D
ME and the new hat I brought :D
We saw people place firework there.
It's 5.30PM and the sky is so dark!
Look how much stuff we have brought from Jiu Fen
Since we brought so much stuff from Jiu Fen, it's kind of impossible to go to 士林夜市. We made a detour back to our hostels before we head to 士林夜市. We took the train back to the train station, transfer to another train, to another subway train, change subway train and finally we reached our hostel. Place our stuff and off we go to the 3rd stop ;) Oh yar, we were rushing to catch our train all these while.
3rd stop: Shilin Night Market, 士林夜市 :D Basically, what we did there was shop and eat and shop and eat and shop. But there wasn’t much things to buy , cause all winter clothing.
We are queuing for..
This :D
As big as our face
Eat and eat and eat
Junsheng played these, shooting balloons
Not really a fan, but worth to try. Quite different from what we hard here.
Food heaven here :D
We took the last train back to hostel, okay and we did all the running again. :P in order not to miss the last train back.
We took a video, if you are unable to view it. Please go to my Facebook :) Credit to Hui San!
