Aiesec winter explore day 24

Day of adventure Saturday!

We slept in till 10 and set off to zhongxiao fuxing to take the railway to jiufen. Wasn't expecting much because the last time we went, the tour guide introduced us to many of the "famous" food that we had to try but it was terrible. :0

When we arrived it was raining (cold!) and there were people with umbrellas everywhere.


If the view is clear, our face is dark and if our face is clear, the background is white =.= guess face shots are more important then haha :)


I was pleasantly surprised because any random food we picked this time was so much better than what I had last time! Totally Yums.

This is a popiah thingy with ice cream and peanuts (that tastes like those that usually goes with muahchee). Totally an awesome combination.


This shop sells super pretty flutes!

Look at the crowd!!

After that we took many scenery shots! All in Jocelyn's phone (stay tuned to her blog ^_^). We kept comparing who was the better photographer and Jocelyn would keep saying it's her and I would say it's me lol. I focus on the person in the picture but she focuses in the scenery. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I guess? Haha.

Next we took the railway to luodong! 
Before that we had to take a bus to the railway station. Somehow the bus didn't have the "all passengers should be seated" rule like the other buses I took. We thought it was 4 stops so should be okay. No!!! It was 4 uber long stops :(

Excruciatingly rocky ride down the mountains. Both of us grabbed on for our dear lives.. I was rocking a lot more than Jocelyn.

High center of gravity.... #tallpeopleproblems

Reached luodong feeling half dead.
Bored while waiting for railway~~


My crazy shoes are leaking blue dye!!! It leaks everytime it gets drenched in rainwater. The worse part is that my feet becomes blue too...

Our first stop at luodong night market was this desert shop which had a crazy long queue. Quite okay only.

Next we had sharks fin and crabmeat soup and prawn balls. This little boy is helping his grandpa, so cute!

Jocelyn waits in anticipation of her chocolate crepe.


This, is the highlight of our night! Egg and cheese prata with some special chilli sauce. 40 nt but sooo fabulous!

From this shop!

The shopping here is not bad! Bought 4 tops and 1 bag (despite depleting cash)

We haven't shopped the whole area yet but had to leave to take our bus back to Taipei. >< wanted to use the toilet so we went back to the train station first... As expected of the unfortunate duo Angela and Jocelyn, we exited from the opposite side and walked further and further from the bus station. It's actually Jocelyn's fault cause I was going to exit from the correct side but she said it was the other one. But admittedly I'm not very trustworthy when it comes to directions so we went the other way... When we realized our mistake, we sprinted the opposite direction at full speed (while my blue feet became bluer by the second) and... We missed the bus by 2 min. OTL

We had to sit in the (loser) people-who-missed-bus line and wait for the next bus to pick us up. Thankfully it came in 10 min...

Overall it had been an awesome day out! Church tmr :)
