Taiwan trip 03-09JUL 2013 Part 2
Day 3:
It's time to check out.... and head to Taichungggg.....
No breakfast included for this nightstay....
So we went out to grab some breads...
Say Bye Bye to Minimi Inn
From the minimi inn, just have to walk across the road a little, there's actually a bus which will head to the Gao Hsiung's HSR but will take nearly 3hrs?
So, a driver approached us if we wanna catch his ride which will take only about 1n half hr?
If i'm not wrong, it costs about NT300 per pax or lesser?
So we finally reach the HSR, so we quickly get the tickets to Taichung which cost NT790 per pax, about sgd $34...
We spent quite some $$$ on travelling for this taiwan trip.... But well well... we enjoyed it, that's the most important thing....
So this time round, we DIE DIE must EAT the BENTO LUNCH in their HSR!
However, we still bought some food, in case we dont get to eat any again in the train....
yummy yummy soupyyy...
This is the CHICKY bento lunch...
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMILICIOUS!!!
This is the PORKY BENTO, i personally like this porky meal... its pretty tender....
The side dishes were pretty delicious too....
Regardless of the soupy and snack... we managed to finished up the 2 bento lunch!
Cos its yummy yummy yummy!!!
So we finally reached Taichung station about 45 to an hr roughly....
We have also engaged a driver for 2 1/2 days for taichung trip.
You can add him in FB, 劉基洪
1 day tour is NT3000.
The last half day, he'll drive us up to taipei and cost only NT2000.
So in all, the 2 1/2 days cost NT8000, which is about SGD 350, per pax about sgd 87.5, for all travelling all for the travelling neh..
And i tell you... all the attractions were pretty pretty far from one another.....
A pretty nice guy...
So, he brought us to RAINBOW VILLAGE first, no entrance fee....
Its pretty near the HSR, around 15-30mins trip bah, if i'm not wrong....
But the weather was so freaking hot... we just took some photos and offff we gooo....
The security guard there was pretty friendly and insist on helping us to take a grp pic while our driver went to park his vehicle.
We saw a few wedding couple having their photo shoot over there...
But seriously.... its so so so freaking hot like MAD!!!
Who is this Lao Ye ye~!
blends in pretty wellll...
So, next we decided to go to Monster Village....
Of cos, before the trip... i have researched some places to visit....
And so, in my blog... i'll feedback on the various places that i've been to, so that probably when u are planning your itinerary, you might wanna skip it or add them into it.
Monster Village was pretty far from rainbow village, it was about 1 to 2 hrs drive....
When we reached there, it started to drizzle a litttllleee.... oh noooo... whyyyyyy......
Hubby wanna try their taiwan beerrr....
They have a monster logo on it.... Soooo Cuteee~!!!
Watch out, YOU!!!
So cute, really thought of buying this back.... but hmmm...

And hubby kept warning me not to add on more things to the HOUSE!!! :(:(:(
Let's send our letter to the Monster world.
Bleahxxx....
Pumpkin carriage...
3 little pigs loghouse...
steamed bamboo rice
pretty cool.... taste so so.... just like some glutinous rice... not very tasty though..
But can just try since u are there....
Yam Icecream...

Can forget about buying this... hah..
But its cute though... haha :)
Time for some souveneirss...
Are you looking for me?
ghostyy train...
Can you spot me?
Face painting... isnt it cool???
Overall for Monster village, i'll rate a 7.5/10.
You can do some souveneirs shopping for your friends. You can take some cute pics over there.
There's some cafes and restaurent too.
They actually have a famous bread shop there, but the queue was pretty long, so we have decided not to buy any then.
Cos it was raining super heavily.... :(:(:(
We have no where to go, but to just have our dinner and head back to our hotel....
And cos, hubby and the rest of them wanna have beefyyy noodles... so well... shall grant their wish lo...
go eat go eat looo...
outcast me....
Cold Tofu with century egg and floss... yummy.. i like...
My dunno dunno what vege with minced pork .... like mee hoon kuay...
taste quite not bad.
My hubby's Beef noodle soup..
He said its nice, especially when he seldom get to eat beef when he's with me...
After dinner, we went to nearby supermarket to get some snack and drinks incase we might be hungry at night!!!
So, off we went to the hotel....
It was a super duper faraway ulus place....where our driver have also never even went up there before...
So we were teasing him... becos of me... you get to know this place!!!
lol....
I found this place went i was googling and saw a blogger who recommended this... with very nice pictures...
But never would i know that its super duper really far.....
There's some plus point and minus point about this hotel night stay....
+points - its really very nice and comfy...
- its nice for a couple nightstay, there's a big bathtub... u can do your own hotspring....
- not very expensive for such big rooms
-points - its pretty far, definitely need a driver
- far from the city... no shops around, have to buy some stuffs before hand....
- breakfast included... but it was in the fridge!!! its cold bread with some jams and butter... there's little toaster there for you to use too.
Happiness Town B&B
No. 100 Hu Men Alley, Cingjing, Nantou, Taiwan
$82.74 per night
Pretty nice and cosy isn't it....
This is the hotspring that i mentioned... looks alittle old... but works pretty fine....

And to take photos and to the temple...
Second stop just slacking around and makan makan....

Probably, you got to take a helicopter, high up there... then u can tell bah...
Basically, sun moon lake is just a place to eat.... and take pic with tt STONE "sunmoonlake"
Hmmm, u might wanna skip this attraction too? hah....

But our driver promised to bring us to the rest of the places that we quoted for the next day before heading back to taipei :):) yipeee....
So our hotel night stay in Taichung should be as shown below.
However, becos the booking couldnt be made for 4 ppl, so i actually made 2 bookings under my name.

$65.81 per night
This is the room, and the toilet is not connected to the room.... hmmmm.....
