Takao aka KaoHsiung

Fulfilled one of the items on my to-do list by taking the High Speed Rail down to KH. It takes barely an hour and a half to get to KH from Taipei. The same amount of time I take to get from my house to ulu NTU.

Travelling together with Machiko and me, is her Taiwanese schoolmate from Shi Da and her mum. Thanks to her our itinerary was pretty much taken care of. Throughout the whole trip there was not a moment where our tummies were empty.

Our first meal was a XX-course (i lost count) chinese cuisine - there was sashimi, dang gui and pumpkin soup. Always on a tight budget coz I'm a poor student, this is the most luxurious meal I have indulged in. We then went to our hotel called City Inn which is a stone's throw away from Xin Jue Jiang - shopping haven. The convenient location, two queen size beds and 42 inch LCD tvs all come at S$150 a night. Though it says the room's for 4 people, the budget conscious can squeeze 6 people or more in the room. (Nope I didn't book the room.. and yes that's another story)

Throughout the next two days we were chaeffuered around first by a "big sister" and her dslr guy friend (unsure of their relationship status), the next day we were ferried around my "Mei Nu" Ah Yi. Yup her name is literally Mei Nu as in beauty in Chinese. Thanks so much for your hospitality!! :)

Will let the photos do the talking. (To upload)
