we try the famous bao xin feng yuan, 包心粉圆, they actually have many branches over Taipei too.
this is the MUST TRY!!! |
p/s: We went to the night market on Saturday night, it's actually a long narrow street with tones of stalls, therefore it's soooooo crowded. OMG!!! I just couldn't line up for every single stalls, and it's so many delicious food over there. ( I didn't have the chance to try it! ) Well, luckily we still managed to try the dessert there. Hurray!
About the accommodation, our Yilan friend provide us stay in her house. I got to say this is just so awesomeeeee. SWEET FRIEND. She lived in 4-storey house, and her mum (a very friendly auntie) provide all the necessarily stuff for us. I saw many package of toothbrush and also towels inside the toilets. Her mum still ready two big plate of fruits, biscuits and also chicken soup for us! I got to say i'm sooo lucky! The night ended up with a sweet dream. (I share a big king size bed with a girl ) hahaa!
#Dec 30, 2012 Sunday
The weather suddenly drop 10 degree Celsius, and the early morning was just 9 degree Celsius.
(BODY SHAKKINNGGGG!!!)
 |
| the famous breakfast shop |
 |
| the train station! it's too cold for us!!! super windy day |
 |
| the saddest moment is SAYING Goodbye. |
 |
| It's a very happy moment when everyone keep on shouting SO COLDDDD.... |
 |
| winter sonata?!! haha |
 |
| look like i'm in Japan now. |
 |
| WAIT FOR ME. |
 |
ohya! the YILAN most famous food is cream rolls.
The local said this is the delicious one.
DONT FORGET! MUST BUY THE YILAN CREAM ROLLS.. |
 |
| I love the 牛尾巴. |
 |
| we were on the way to Taipei, it was just 2 degree Celsius. (JUMPING) |
 |
| the very cold couples. |
 |
| mercy look, raining and too cold. i'm just freezing. |
 |
I believe we're the craziness. on the way, it's so windy and cold. we forced to stop after awhile of ride,
and we were finding hot water and also hot stove to keep ourselves warm. |
 |
| the beautiful view in Yilan. |
 |
the bad weather caused we ride from 1pm until 8pm, and we just dare to drive 40km/h in the mountain roads.
this was a nice motor ride memory for me. |
Yilan county is a beautiful rural area, there is many paddy fields with many independent houses.
If you feel like so pressure living in the city like Taipei, so you must take your beg and have a ride to Yilan. It's a relaxing trip to let yourself breath a fresh air and start from the origin.
Get back your energy and be happy.
Conclusion, you can choose different kind of travelling experiences. For motor ride, you can feel the totally different feeling as it's open air travelling, you feel the wind, you feel the rain, and you feel like you are the bird flying in the sky.
MOTOR RIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SYIOOKKKK! COOOLLLLL!!!
