Amazing Taiwan - Day 8 (Wufenpu - Eye of Taipei Ferry Wheel)

Last day in Taiwan!  Of course I would want to fill up the empty luggage bag I purposely brought over.  Hahaha...  

We headed to Wufenpu wholesale market (五分埔) after breakfast.  We were early that most of the shops were not opened yet.  So we hang around the playground nearby, let the kids had some fun before the shopping game began.  

It was winter in Taiwan that most shops were selling winter wear, but it was not an issue at all for an experienced shopper like me who could accommodate any forms of shopping experience.  LOL  I managed to get a few summer skirts, dresses and blouses for myself and some tees for the kiddos.  If you enjoy shopping, do drop by here, you will be spoilt by choices.  

We then hired a taxi to Miramar (美麗華百樂園).  Miramar is a shopping mall which houses cinema, specialty store, departmental store and also an entertainment park.  This is where the remarkable Eye of Taipei is located at too.  We had lunch at the food court, which served yummy food at reasonable price.  The environment was clean and cozy.  After lunch, we headed out to the shopping mall.  Sister Bear and I got some new swimwear - bikinis for both of us. :)  We then headed out to another part of the building for the Eye of Taipei ferry wheel ride.  
Eye of Taipei

Looking out and down... wow... 
As we had been to Mao Kong gondola on day 3, so the Eye of Taipei did not impress us much.  Kids enjoyed the ride nonetheless.   We spent some time at the indoor entertainment park and then went back into the mall to visit the supermarket.  We would like to get the popular cooking ingredients  such as sar char jiang and mar lak jiang.  We also bought some local snacks as gifts for friends and families back home from the supermarket.  

We reached back our hotel at 4.30pm, rested for awhile and headed out to Rao He night market (饒河街觀光夜市) for food.   We prefer Rao He night market compares to Feng Jia night market.  Rao He is in smaller scale, but it has everything you need to eat or buy and definitely less crowded.  

We came with one big and one small full luggage and went back home with two big and one small super full luggage.   Thank you Taiwan for your great hospitality.  :)

The Sparkling Snowy Korea (14 Days 13 Nights Itinerary)

Image
Kids did not have enough of snow from our last New Zealand trip in June (read more of our New Zealand self drive trip  here ).  Since we had got all our winter apparels readily available, so we thought why not a winter holiday in the sparkling snowy Korea.  After checking through all flight fares, we decided to fly with Malaysia Airlines again.  This trip was a very relaxing trip, as we only use 3 places as base, which were Seoul, Alpensia Ski Resort and Jeju.  We were lucky that all planned and scheduled time set in perfectly (not too early and not too late).   So here's our another kids friendly itinerary for your reference. :)   Day 1 -  touched down Incheon International Airport, Seoul.  We then  purchased the T Money Cards from 7-11 and shuttle bus tickets (KWN29000 per person for adults and half price for children) to Alpensia Ski Resort at Gate 9C, before our hotel picked us up.  Initial plan was to visit Hongik University area for people-watching and shopping.  But w

Western Australia Road Trip & Farm Stay (9 Days 8 Nights Itinerary)

Image
One of our favourite family picture from the trip.  :)  We had a very wonderful trip to Western Australia in September covering Perth, Pemberton, Margaret River and some other small towns/attractions.    It was early spring and the weather was perfect to our liking - it was fairly cold with beautiful sunshine and lovely wind.  It rained a little on one of the days, but it didn't hurt, as we still managed to do quite a bit by checking the weather forecast beforehand.   So here's the itinerary of our super relaxing WA road trip and farm stay experience.  I'll write more on our each day's adventure as soon as I can.  I actually couldn't wait to start writing as I miss the wonderful time we had so much!  We ate well, slept early and breathed in lots of fresh air!  Hahaha...  I shall stop writing and let our amazing pictures do the talking.   Day 1 – Touched down Perth in the late afternoon and headed straight to our rented apartment.   We had dinner at a n

Beautiful China - Chaozhou (潮州)

Image
Year end exam was over and the schools had requested for kids to return all textbooks, which spelled school's out, well, almost.... :)  So I made a decision that all of us to tag along Papa Bear's business trip to China.   We spent 9 days 8 nights in China and we visited Xiamen, Chaozhou and the Tulou in Nanjing.  Here's the entry of our visit to Chaozhou ( 潮州).   The ancient Chaozhou city. We were very lucky that Papa Bear's business friend volunteered to be our tour guide for a day trip to Chaozhou.  Chaozhou is about 3 hours drive from Xiamen, it's a city in the eastern Guangdong province.  Renting a 7 seaters MPV with a private driver will cost you around RMB1600 to and fro from Xiamen.   It was an easy drive on the highway to Chaozhou city.  Our first stop was Han Wen Gong Temple ( 韩文公祠),  which is located on the foot of Bijia Mountain ( 笔架山) at the bank of Hanjiang River in Chaozhou.  It was built in the Song dynasty to commemorate Hanyu ( 韩愈),
