Taiwan Trip 27th Mar - 6th April

Been back for around 2 weeks and I really miss Taiwan. Actually I miss any place that I don't have to work. Hehe.. Nevertheless, Taipei was fun, the sweet ending to the end of our 11 days Taiwan Tour. We went to Taoyuan, Ilan, Hualian, Kaoshiung, Tainan, Taichung and Taipei within this short period. Weather in Taipei was weird when we were there, super cold now day, and the next day you can walk out in short sleeves, then cold again the next day. Only part that pissed me off was the hotel we booked ourselves in Taipei, super lousy and cramp. Here is the photo diary of our 11 days tour.

Sakura!! So pretty in pink. This was our first and only close encounter with a full bloom tree of sakura. The sakura in other parts of Taiwan were more or less withered when we reached there. So sad..but dear promised to bring me to Japan to see the real deal in time to come.
