2012 Day 3 in Taiwan (Taipei)

Day 3 in Taiwan:-

Count Down in Taipei 101:-

We went Ximending which is located at (Xi Men MRT) on the 3rd day of our trip... I had my spectaculars done in a shop where it is owned by an old couple...

I knew my fiance not long after I came back from Taiwan (after praying to the "god of marriage and love"). We went back to that temple to 还神 (return to thank the god of marriage and love for the blessings)... =o That temple was introduced by my friend in Taiwan... During that time, we went there to pray for my friend's seek... Instead of me... =x We had the peanut & red bean soup with glutinous rice balls and the queue is really long... This place does not have any nearby MRT, we took the cab on the last time we went... This time, we tried walking instead... It is really a long walk...

After that... we head towards Raohe night market... Along the way, we pass by Wu Fen Pu to do a short shopping...

After we had some snacks at Raohe night market, we head on to our count down in Taipei... It is a very unforgettable moment as it is the first time I had count down under the stage... Aeron Kwok sang and dance quite a couple of songs... He is really fit given with the age he is having right now... =x
