Day 4
- We took the bullet train from ZuoYing to TaiChung
- Met a kind uncle (about early 40s) outside the train station and ask him for direction to our hotel.
- The uncle turned out to be a taxi driver and offered to bring us to Sun Moon Lake (2-way) at a cost of NTD3,000.
- Since it's quite reasonable, we agreed and he brought us to the top of the mountain of Sun Moon Lake and even bought tea leave eggs for both of us.

Tw Trip Day 2 Part 1(4 Aug)

Day 2
- We had breakfast at Dunkin Donut (opposite Rainbow hotel).
- Headed to TP main station to take the bus to Yeliu.
- We had a hard time looking for the correct place to buy tickets to Yeliu.
- Anyway, at about 1pm we are on our way to Yeliu. Journey is about an hour.

- Yeliu is a very very nice place with good scenery
- We are lucky that the day has a very good weather, with strong wind.

Tw Trip Day 1 (3 Aug 08)

Day 1
- Reached Taipei (TP) CKS airport at about 6pm.
- Took KuoKuang Bus to TP main station and took cab to Rainbow Hotel (@ Ximending -XMD)
- Hotel is clean and big for both of us.
- Unpack our stuff and we head for Shilin Nite market at Jiantan Station
- Had their must try oyster omelette, guan cai ban, something similar to satay and also the hao da ji pai (big fried chicken).
- Conclusion: the oyster omelette and the guan cai ban are starchy. Spore's style of oyster omelette is still nicer. Realise that they like to use starch in their food, even the fried chicken also uses starch.
