Taipei Day 4

it was a slacking day, as prof samuel had a meeting scheduled in the afternoon, he brought us for brunch at Xi Men Ding.. Most shops were not open yet.. hence, i couldn't shop. Anyway I felt bad shopping with 3 other adults waiting for me.. so i din shop much.. In taiwan, motorcycles have the right of ways, they can ride on small lanes, n even those alley like what we haf in bugis village!!

The top girls sch in taiwan.. Their uniform (green). Selina from SHE studied there
I was told by Prof Samuel that this is the famous Oystel Mee Sua in Taipei.. People had to stand, squat to eat.. the q was about 8 pple when we finished lunch at abt 12pm
After lunch, Prof Samuel dropped us a Wu Fen Pu to shop.. n i managed to get 1 blouse, 1 baby doll dress, 1 3/4 pants, 1 pair of shoes and a bag. The weather was too hot and after 2 hrs, we decided to go back n slp since I spent all the money already.. I'm delighted with my Taipei Trip and may return BUT defin NOT DURING SUMMER.. I will totally melt here lor..
And so.. off to New York tml.. Hurray!
