Taipei, Taiwan November 2009

Well, couldn't believe my luck when I managed to get some really cheap tickets to Taiwan this year. The trip last year was really rush and this time we spent 9 days in Taipei :) Yes, a really long time. Would like to thank my good friend Sam & his wife Rudy, and his lovely kids Peter and Rita for having us stay over at their home all this holiday.
We just traveled mainly to places accessible by bus mostly. On weekends, Sam did bring us to further places such as Jiu Fen and Yingge. So I will elaborate more in the pictures that follow. I have uploaded these to my gallery and each picture is accompanied by comments.
I would like to say that its really easy getting around Taipei via their public transport. Bus is cheapest, at TWD15 per sector to a maximum of TWD30 per trip. Draw back is that its slower. MRT is fast but goes to limited places and cost minimum TWD20.
As for food, this place is a food haven. The amount and variety is just so great. Over our 9 days, we were eating like crazy. The favourite we think would be the buffet steamboat which has Haagen Daz as dessert. Yes, free flow quality food and dessert at a very affordable TWD 480 per pax. Absolutely a bargain.
Because of these experiences, I would like to propose to couples, if any would like to have their pre-wedding taken in Taipei and its surrounding counties. Its really a beautiful place. Just pay for flights, accommodation and food for 2 person and photography is free from me. For enquiries, do email me.
Cheers and enjoy the pictures.
