Fly Back from the Heart of Asia

Hello, I'm back!

Taiwan is amazingly awesome, I wish the time will just freeze at that point of time because I seriously do not want to come back :’( It is a total of 9D8N trip to Taiwan and our itinerary consists of Taichung and Taipei only. Some people might ask “huh, 9 days only Taichung and Taipei?” Yes, only Taichung and Taipei, me and my love enjoy ourselves so much!

I’m gonna write a super long-winded and detailed post about my Taiwan trip, you can skip only to photos if you think that this is boring (please don’t). This is a free and easy trip and we managed to visit every place we intended to and visited few additional places as well.

We had our itinerary after few months’ hard work on researching. I shall share with you the actual one for our 9days trip.

Day8   : Mr. J French Italian Restaurant – Taipei 101 – Wu Fen Pu – Mao Kong 
Day9   : Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport – Malaysia :’(

Some people suggested us to rent a car + driver to bring us around. But since there are only 2 of us, it is not worth it (and to cut budget) so we decided to walk on our own. After all it is very convenient because their transportation system is superb. Okay, let's get the journey started. 



It takes around 4 hours and 20 minutes from LCCT to reach Taoyuan International Airport. We brought 2 x 24" luggage and the checked-in weight is only 19kgs for both. We bought 35kgs :( We also pre-order meals, Terriyaki Chicken for the love and I had Chicken Rice. Each pre-booked meal comes with a 300ml Mineral Water. AirAsia being AirAsia, I wonder why they don't served pre-book meals first until we have to ask from them, and they are still blur and said they have to check whether they have any of this left @.@ If there isn't any left, so what is the meaning of pre-booked leh? Well, here's a pic of that "finally arrived pre-booked meal".


After 4hours of flying, finally, ta-daa.... Taoyuan International Airport!! Get to the immigration gate and claimed our baggage. Ready, get-set, go!!! These are some photos took in the airport upon the arrival. Welcome to Taiwan <3


Stay tuned for upcoming post and I will share with you my amazing Taiwan trip!
