First Trip to Taipei (19/05 to 24/05) - Day Two

I went to jog earlier on like FINALLY! 

I have to motivate myself to go for a run at least twice a week to slim down. I have been receiving a lot of comments from my colleagues and friends that i have grew fatter :'(

I admit ever since the day my braces removed, i have been eating snacks like tidbits and drink cups of bubble teas! :(

this is really bad, i need to replace all these junk food with only FRUITS! i hope i can! :(

*

That aside, I'm here to continue my taipei entry - DAY TWO! :D

Our itinerary for day two is to visit Hello Kitty Sweets, Wu Fen Pu, Taipei 101 and STAGE @ XMD!

We set off at around 10am in the morning and took a train to Zhong Xiao Fu Xing (忠孝复兴)



There's 2 Sogo department stores at this area.


We had a hard time trying to find the Porter store by looking at our 台北王! Its a book! 
Thanks to Ziqian for lending me this book else i wouldn't have known so many interesting places!
We have been relying on this book wherever we go! Forgotten to take a picture of it but you can purchase it at Kinokuniya, cost about 30-40 bucks!

Finally, we came to this lane - Dun Hua Nan Lu 敦化南路, Lanes 161, 177 and 187 - There's many small interesting shops selling toy cameras, graphic tees and ladies fashion wear and we found the Porter's concept store!





Took a couple of self pictures while they are deciding which design to get!
Its slightly cheaper in taipei and there's more designs to choose from. If you are a fan of porter, do remember to visit their outlet at Taipei! :D

ohh dun forget to claim your VAT at the airport


Sleeveless White Shirt Top available @ KissJane - Bugis in 3 colors!

White, Nude and Taupe! You will love the material used! <3


They bought 2 sling bags in the end! One for auntie and bro! :)


Since we are in this area, we decided to drop by Hello Kitty Sweets!

Here's the address!
No. 90, Da An Road, Sec. 1
(near intersection of Da An Road and Zhong Xiao E Road, Sec 4)

Its somewhere near the alley, look up and you will see hello kitty logo!

The hello kitty is so CUTE and SWEET that can make me SCREAM! 

Awwwww!!!










We managed to get our seats and the whole restaurant is covered with Hello Kitty!

Food there is pretty expensive, our bill came up to a total of NT 1500! 

Food is average only






i don't bear to eat this jelly away! so cute x10000!



Guess where am i now? 

I'm in the ladies! Its hello kitty again even for the tap! 

check out the princess like PINKISH sofa!







How level 2 looks like

Everyone is busying snapping pictures in the restaurant




Overall, its worth to make a trip down if you are a fan of Hello Kitty! Otherwise, i think you can give it a miss, save your monies for better food! :)

Our next destination is to TAIPEI 101 (台北101)!

Its a skyscraper in taipei so its a must go to gain some experience!

Take the Blue Line MRT to Taipei City Hall Station and we walked quite a bit of distance before we reached the tower.

We get to by pass a lot of branded stores such as LVMH, CHANEL, DIOR ETC




Cross the overhead bridge and you will see this green building and you are there!




teehee so sweet! Managed to capture it! :D


Hello Damper Baby! My colleague got me this damper baby in RED! :D


Purchase the tickets at counter




Up we go! 

View from 89th floor




We saw this photo-taking service and we wanted to keep it as memories!

The outcome of the photo turns out really good! :D


I'm falling down!! HELP ME! 

HAHAHAHA! so funny right? :DD


plus a certificate for you to keep!

Total cost about 30 bucks! :(



Its about 4pm in the noon by then and we headed down to Wu Fen Pu (五分埔)!

Don't head down too early cos all the shops are not fully opened yet, after 4pm would be a good timing and they closed around 11plus in the night! :)

Damn thirsty and i bought this packet of green tea at 7-11. 



Wholesale garment district area


All the clothes are folded nicely in a transparent bag, unlike BKK, clothes are unfold and just throw it in a plastic bag.


Here's my loots for my friends and myself! :D


We headed back to XMD after that cos its too heavy for us to carry our loots around.

So we went back to the hotel first before we head for dinner.

Night view @ XMD!


Oh before i forget, we went down to STAGE and my bf purchased 2 TEES and a coin pouch! Slightly cheaper as compared to Singapore.


bubble tea again! :/





Ah Zhong Mian Xian!

Its a must try if you are in Xi men ding! Highly recommended!



Extremely tired in Day Two cos we been to so many places!

I shall blog about Day 3 after i launched a NEW collection! :D

Tentatively, the launch will be on Sunday, 12pm! Hope i can finish editing the photos by then!

I love how the photos turn out this time, its all about BOLD colors!

Can't wait to post up preview once i'm done with it, stay tuned for my PREVIEWWW! <3

Love,
Jamie
