planning my timetable now...
this is indeed a long overdue post but jus wanna share some pics i took in taiwan wif u guys...
had a pleasant experience, great tour guide and leader, great tour mates, n taiwan is a really great country... lots of delicious food n great buys, esp at e night markets like shihlin and xi men ding... n most of e ppl there r warm n sweet! great services, makin us feel at home. when we were tryin on e clothes, most of them wld start a conversation wif us, instead of stonin over there. n no matter wad happen, they always serve wif a smile~ e food r nice too, different frm wad we had in sg.. n we had so many cups of bubble tea and papaya milk! overall it was fun, except for one incident which i totally snapped... let's jus say i was so furious i walked out of e store and slammed e door behind me... not sth i shd b proud of but i'm definitely not regrettin it...
