April 2 - GOOD FRIDAY!
(we all prepared and ready to leave for our R&R)
On a side note, i was sharing with some friends abt the significant of Good friday
while waiting for our bus to come, i rmb telling a couple of them that every year in s'pore it wld somehow rain abt 3pm onwards, this was due to what the bible said, "33At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour " And you know what... by 3pm EXACTLY we were in the bus to Taipei city and it started to POUR HEAVILY!!! Coincidence? i dunno, but after that i reminded my friend again abt wad i told him that morning, and i think he sure was surprise abt wad i said for awhile.
Our first stop! JANFUSUN FANCY WORLD !!! Never had such trilling rides in my life before!
(The first one the flying submarine G5! where we there was this 90 degree steep angle whooshing straight down at the speed of 110 km. You will be pulled down by the force of 5G, crash into the black hole, and experience the awesome special effects of gravity so strong that we clnt scream even if we wanted too!.... and the crazy coaster which had a double cork scew!!! amazinggg rides!)
(this hole was the DROP OF OUR LIFE to the unknown!!!!)
(we were just in time for the change of guards at Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall! They sure have a unique marching style!)
(SOCC 7709 at the wall of this Martyrs' shrine)
(Arun with B1 & B2!!!)
(our lasttt photo at the top of the shrine!)
That night! We took a cab down from our hotel to SHIHLIN NIGHT MARKET!!!
Ateee all kind of taiwanese food from sausages to the famous JIPAH( Chicken Cutlet) to bubble milk tea and all kind of other food!
(Some shots by the roads of shihlin night market!
3 April-
YELIU OCEAN WORLD
(Saw this preserve fish of the deep sea!)
(The dolphin /sea lion show was quite spectacular! There was this professional divers show after this... there was this guy that did a dive from abt 10 storeys of this ladder! It was the highlight of the whole show!)
(One of those professional diver actually went to the TOP of that tall ladder and JUMP!)
(The scenic rocksss and sea at the YELIU ocean world)
That night we took a trip down to "ximending" , its like the orchard/bugis of taiwan! The lights and buzz of the place sure starstruck us for awhile!...can't you find me in this photo! =P)
(some gothic people we saw there!)
(the supposedly famous toilet restaurant!)
April 4- EASTER!
Headed with brannon to this Church that his friend recommended him to go, so it was like some adventure finding this church just us alone in taiwan! and so happened both of us were really bad in chinese! And soon we found the church, it was NEW LIFE church a affiliated church with City Harvest and the atmosphere of the church sure was very similar to CHC, only that this time everything is in chinese! And the ppl sure was friendly as usual! As we met this taiwanese usher who tried to make us at home, she was quite excited to hear that we were from Singapore, but most of the time we had trouble communicating with her and her friends. I would say throughout the whole 3 hrs service i only understood less than 5% of it! And this really showed me how BAD MY CHINESE was! =/...
i think i will die in taiwan alone! It was so hard to order food without my friends!
(THE second tallest building in the WORLD..TAIPEI 101!!!... headed there for lunch after the church service before walking around the place for awhile before we tried the taiwan train back to our hotel!)
And after all those!!! Back home to SINGAPORE!!!!......
I think the main thing i would miss is the niceee COOL WEATHER in taiwan!
(The encouragment memos we wrote for B11 aka "TEAM BANANAS"!)
(I like this quote from lychee! It kept as motivated thru out the walk of our life!)
(ALL THE TAIWAN FOOD I BROUGHT BACK!)
