Day 1 in taiwan

Before departing taiwan, you might want to drop down at Taiwan embassy. Taiwan embassy (near raffles place mrt station) sometimes provides freebies to tourists visiting taiwan!!
They provide free concert tickets, and the tickets are not for those unknown artists but for quite well known artists such as soda green, fahrenheit ETC, too bad the concerts happen before/ after we reached taiwan. However we did managed to get the taiwan "MRT" card, which is 10% cheaper if you take buses/mrt paying by cash.
After which you can apply for digital tour buddy (only if you are below 30). Digital tour buddy package contains a phone and a sim card for you to use in taiwan. The sim card also contains NTD50 (~S$2.20), this is VERY useful when you need to call your hostel for directions.

YAY THEN WE FLEWWWWWWWWWWW.
Tiger air is really squeezy 0.0

After 4 hours of anticipation, we have reached taiwan!!! WOOHOO

We reached taiwan at around 8.30pm. We did not book a hostel for that night as we think that it is a waste of money and time. So upon reaching we went to the 'food court' at the airport for dinner! At termainal 2 of taoyuan international airport. 
My pork rib noodle (ignore the date, forget to set the timing on camera) 

Seafood rice 


After dinner we went on to collect our digital tour buddy package, which is only a sim card as they had finishes distributing the phones. The sim card is not compatible with iphone. 

We then wander around to find a 24hour cafe/shop and we found a 7/11 ! 

Drank this at 7/11 ~  Thought the drink at the right is coffee...

Taiwan 7/11 is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than singapore's. 7/11 there is like a mini food court selling all sorts of food! They have cup noodles, rice, spaghetti, pau, salad ETCCCCCCCCCC and they do provide places for us to sit and slack. And so we spent our night slacking at 7/11 until 4am where we called for a can to taichung train station......
