Other Interesting Sights of Taiwan

No visit is complete without visiting some of the national sights of Taiwan. Thankfully, our hotel is located within walking distance to the 228 Peace Park and Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial, so we managed to complete that in one morning.

Other than these, we also went to see the guards changing at the Martyr's Shrine and had tea at the nearby Grand Hotel. We also took Ning for ferries wheel ride at the Miramar Shopping complex.

We had some pretty interesting adventure here and there. Like how the taxi driver drove us to a betel nut shop and taught WF how to chew-spit-chew the betel nut. And nope, we didn't see any scantily dressed betel nuts ladies (you see them in the south, not the north part of Taiwan).

Plus Ning playing hoops at a 'tikam' store and won two little prizes whereas WF only gotten one. I must say, she's quite good at throwing hoops.

And the most interesting incident of all was bumping into WF's secondary 2 classmate who was also staying in the same hotel! After 20 years, they met and in a foreign country, staying in the same hotel (in fact, we took the same flight as well!). What is the probability of such things happening?

So that sort of concludes our Taiwan trip. We had a positive impression of Taiwan (in fact, its a much more child friendly place than HKG). We probably might visit the place again with the kids some years down the road.
