Day 4 (Evening) - Taipei & bits of Xi Men Ding

If you realized, my Taiwan entry went on a little mini break. This was because I left my external hard disk at home so I was without it the whole week I was at Funky Town.
Anyway, my last entry stopped at sheep farm.
And yeah, I was in great deal of pain! The plan was to take the bus down to the train station. But we found out that the cost of the cab was just as much as the bus would cost us so in the end we took a 6 seater cab.
Which I really appreciate given that I was too in pain to be sitting on a rumbling unstable bus.
Okay, enough with the whole pain thingy. By now you guys should be able to get the idea of how painful my PMS is. =P
We took the cab to the inter-city train station that will lead us straight into Taipei Main Station.

And the train station reminds me of the bollywood scene.

See what I meant??

Actually our ticket is a standing ticket but I was fortunate enough to get an empty seat. I guess the person who was suppose to take my seat just didn't turn up or something. We reached the Taipei main station after 2 long hours.
And frankly, we were quite lost in the station. It was underground with too many directions! But the picture below says it all. While all of us were lost, only one person is working super hard on the map to find a way out while the rest just took pictures and stood by the side.

Poor Pengsok! I think he silently swear that he will never go on trips with us again... =(

The many expressions of people while waiting to be rescued by the homestay staff.
Oh, brace yourself ladies and gentlemen. Out of so many homestays, this one at Taipei rock my world!
Wait till you see it!

Ta-Da!!! Welcome to Pig Home Stay. It was a small studio apartment turn beautifully decorated for us budget travellers.

It has everything. And it can fit 6 people! I super hate that alien on the LCD screen!

And I actually slept facing it. FML!

The mini kitchen.

Which has everything you need.

And let me take you guys upstairs.

To another bedroom.

It's like bedroom in the attic.

I guess everyone's ultimate favourite is this homestay too!

We also have an awesome bathroom that came with a rain shower.

The downside is, you can only use 30 minutes of the water heater and need to wait another 30 minutes before another batch of water heater can be used.
Confusing isn't it? Yeah, it is part of their saving the environment plan thingy.
We then went to Ximen Ding for dinner.

It was just a few stops away from Taipei Main Station.

Reminds me of a mini Time Square.

Its a whole street of fashion and all that

Spot us in ximen ding and till the next entry!
