The mad trip as playing the hooky(In Taipei, Taiwan)

 

 

 

 

 

 The rain stopped well.

 On arriving, I went into the station then went down to metro.

 I was gonna buy an one way ticket at metro but I was confused how to buy. so I requested a couple how to buy a ticket.

 Anyway, let me go to the hostel by the subway!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 So I arrived ah the metro which is nearest with the hostel.

 But it was difficult to find the hostel. on that time, a woman was passing.

 I asked her how to get to the hostel.

 The woman looked into the address written on the note then escorted me kindly herself.

 She asked me that I study.(Gee! thank you to regard me as young! thanks! lol)

 

 

 Finally, I got to the hostel thanks to her.

 Meaning as an appreciation, I gave her the remaining Hungarian coins.

 (Ah! I should have got friendship with her. :( )

 

 

 On press the buzzer, the manager went outta. but there was already fully occupied.

 

 

 She went onto the printer then gave me a handout that is presented the location of cooperated hostel.

 I was obliged to go to the hosten after took the map.

 It was humidity and hot like the Korean weather of July through August.

 Uaaaaaaahhhh!!! It was really annoying weather!! lol

 

 

 Suddenly, I got hungry.

 At first, I was to go to the Family mart then eat a triangle rice covered with seaweed.

 I was eating the rice and there was an elder beside me.

 The kind elder asked me in English.

 And he liked Korea and said that they are affected by Japan but don't like it.(Ow ow, sir! thank you! :) )

 After got full, I bow to him politely then went outta find the hostel.

 

 

 By the way, I gotta lost my way on a cross.

 So I asked a couple how to find.

 But, the man said to me sorry and ignored me heartlessly.

 I was gonna say a curse to him but there was nothing I could say because it is so in also Korea.

 

 

 The shower was going again.

 And the map was getting a rag.

 I could find the hostel in the end of the lost of the way.

 At the hall, a cutie female staff welcomed me.

 Fortunately, there was vacated seats.

 She explained me about the rule then assigned the seat for me.

 She requested me to pay the deposit and fee, OMG!! I had only cash of Euros.

 I told her I'll pay next day then went into the room to get cool.

 

 

 In the room, a blonde guy and a strong guy welcomed me.

 The blonde guy's is Alex, and the strong guy is Alan.

 Alex suggested me to go in a circle around the night market with himself.

 Above all, I was tired because I walked a lot but it wouldn't be bad finding out the night air.

 I was full of energy in that night.

 I wanted to be with also Alan but he walked for whole day and was to climb a mountain next day. so I wasn't with him.(I was sorry... :( )

 

 

 The night market's air was same with Korean one.

 Diverse to eat, accesory, and with displayed clothes so on...

 Because of them, the market smelled affectionate.

 When we finished going in a circle, the heavy rain started to go.

 We obliged to go back to hostel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When I finished taking a shower, a more guest entered at the room.

 She is from Japan.

 When Alex talked with her, he spoke in mixing Japanese a little.

 Yeah, he studies in Japan.

 

 

 I felt too tired so I went to bed.

 I turned on wi-fi then chatted with acquaintances.

 Buy, it was already over 4:00 A.M. after I finished chatting with D.

 It took 5 hours.(It's so far than couple's one.)

 For tour of the next day, I was to close my eyes.

 

 

 When I was awoken, it was already 11:00 A.M..

 OMG!! I discard this morning by the sleep!! :(

 Anyway, as I was awoken, I washed roughly then went out to withdraw local cash.

 

 

 When I got to the bank, I felt that my pocket was vacated.

 Gosh!! I left my password in the hostel.

 When I went into the hostel, my locker key was disappeared.(Oh no!!)

 Though I looked for here and there, I couldn't find the key.

 But I was sure that the key would be absolutely somewhere of the hostel.

 

 

 On giving up finding the key, I found the key on the sofa.

 (Hooo, god helped me!)

 As I found the key, I got ready to go on a tour.

 First, I exchanged Euros to NTD(New Taiwanese Dollar).

 

 

 

 

 

 Before I went out of the bank, the flip about money was exploded again.

 It's the flavor to show the money in the crazy like this. LOL

 As I exchanged, I went to opposite the 7 Eleven then ate a breakfast roughly.

 In the convenience store, there was Korean Shin ramen. LOL (you can also see this on the peak of the Jungfraujoch)

 

 

 First, I went to the Zhonglieci temple by subway.

 As I got off at the nearest station, I could see the park and gym.

 But, I didn't know where to ride the bus. so I asked two women how to get to the way.

 The kind women told me how get to the way in poor English.

 As they said, I went onto the art museum to ride the bus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When I arrived, it was already 1:10 A.M. but the ceremony of changing the guard was going.

 Oh, It was timely. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Their action was slow but so sharp.

 Tourists followed the soldier and photographed them what is so interesting. and staff and guides are so busy to control tourists.

 

 

 After finished the ceremony, people garhered to the guardians at the gate.

 Let me also certificate by the photo. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Salute to the Taiwanese soldier!!

 

 

 After finishing tour, I went to the bus stop.

 Around the bus stop, a interesting bird was at there.

 The bird's color was blue and its beak was so big.

 

 

 

 

 

 What is that bird's true color?

 

 

 Then I went to the Lungshansi which is the oldest temple

 Outside was too humid and hot as annoying but inner metro was so cool.

 There was same with the heaven. and no illegal vendor. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 Taipei Easy card, this is same with Korean T-money transportation card.

 

 

 A little later, I arrived at the Lungshansi station.

 The underground market's air was about same with Korean one.

 

 

 As I entered the temple, incenses were burned inside the temple and at garden, people gathered.

 There was no wail and sound of a wooden ball, but peaceful song.

 The incenses made me tight but the peaceful song made me calm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Beside the temple, there was the night market like Wangfujing night market.

 At the market, many people were crowd and complex.

 Cuz I walked for a while, I got hungry.

 I was to eat the meat noodle as the late lunch.

 

 

 I found the restaurant by asking people.

 The restaurant looked old and shabby.

 Inside the restaurant, so cool.

 First, I ordered a spicy meat noodle.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Smell from the meat noodle was owful like the Vietnamese rice noodle.

 

 Nevertheless I was so hungry so I tried.

 I didn't like that the noodle was greasy but mild taste and the meat was glutinous.

 

 

 After I was fulled with the noodle, I told the owner that their restaurant is introduced on the Korean travel guide book to Taiwan and blessed them. then I went to the central station.

 

 

 When I arrived at the central station, the Camera battery was almost all exhausted.

 While I charged the battery, I was gonna connect to internet but it was neccesarry for ID and password.

 On the time, on both side of me, there was 2 women.

 I asked my west side girl about the internet certificate then I letted her keep my camera at a moment and approached to the information center.

 The staff told me to go up to first floor to get certificate.

 I was gonna take my camera then go to get certificate but the kind girl showed me the way to the internet certificate office.

 

 

 Thanks to her, I could find the office and made the ID and password.

 Then I certified wireless internet.

 

 

 At a moment, I opened my wallet and checked on my balance.

 Because the cash wasn't enough to spend, I went to the ATM and withdrew the more cash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 After withdrew, I went around the central station at a monent.

 The kind girl didn't leave yet.

 So I approached to her then gave her the some remaining Hungarian coins then took some pictures with her. :]

 

 

 

 

 

 She looked prittier than her pictures.

 

 

  Her name is Cherry Huang.

 She was waiting her friend.

 As the appreciation to her, I told her I ll treat her something to drink.

 At first she said no thank you but I went to the cafe with her.

 Mission success!! 'v'

 

 

 Cherry's tongue skill was so poor but it was no problem.

 She was so cute because of her poor tongue skill.

 She photographed my belongings from Europe how interesting they are for her.

 And We talked about entertainers, Kim Taehee, Vivian hsu.

 She was so cute and brilliant when she presented Hungary as 'hungry'

 

 

 After finished appreciating a tea, I said to her good bye then I went to the market for jades.

 The asshole spirit offered me a valued friend.

 

 

 As the guide book's script, I walk straight along the viaduct.

 But though I walked straight over and over again, I couldn't see the jade market.

 As I walked continually, the jade market wasn't appeared but another metro station was appeared.

 So, finally, I was to go back to the hostel.

 (On later time, when I looked into the guide book in the library, I learned that the jade market is open only on weekend.) 

 

 

 When I was back to there, Alex was awoken.

 Alex suggested me to visit the night market with himself.

 I was so tired cuz moved to here and there, but I never die!!

 So I accepted his suggestion again.

 

 

 It was Shilin Yeshi night market that I visited with Alex.

 The night market was more many things to see than night market near the hostel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 As I went in a circle around the market, I could see the Korean 'bad cat'

 

 

 As we walked straight, we could see the Japanese restaurant 'Yoshiniya'.

 Alex admired on seeing the restaurant.

 He said when he was in Japan, he used to visited there.

 First, I was also hungry so we entered to eat something.

 

 

 Both of we ordered Gyudong(Japanese rice mixed meat).

 I ordered Kimchi as side dish as I'm a Korean.

 The Gyudong was more cheap than I thought.

 

 

 Alex teased me lightly as called me the Kimchi man.

 (So I got the nickname 'Kimchi man' from Alex. lol)

 The quantity of Gyudong was so enough to be full.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Stylish Alexander!!

 

 

 Cuz I had not eaten rice foods, I ate the Gyudong as fast as I ran away.

 (Actually, I had stayed in Europe for only 5 days.)

 

 

 After finished the late dinner, I went around the market a bit more.

 Taiwainese night was quite humid and hot despite less than in the noon.

 

 

 On coming the last subway time, we finished sightseeing then hurried to go back to the hostel.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 When I came back the hostel, some guests more joined.

 They are from Singapore.

 I was wholly covered with sweat so I taked a rest at a moment, then took a shower.

 Aaaaooo!! What a tropical country!! lol

 

 

 After finished a shower, I took care of my baggage then came to the hall.

 A new German guest was in there.

 I talked with the German man and Alex, then went to bed.

 Ah, the next day, I get back to my home...

 And in a couple of day, I must attend to the college class...
