woke up at 6+ AM again .
plan of the day was to head to Taiwan International Floral Exposition (花博会) .
sales of the ticket starts at about 9am .
had to wake up early as we need to queue and get the tickets .

had our breakfast in the hotel before leaving .
took the train down to yuanshan (圆山) station .
the crowd there really shocked us as it's christmas eve and schools are bringing students for an excursion .
managed to get 4 more people to join us in buying the group tickets as it's much cheaper .
got the tickets and waited for the hall to be opened .
had to squeeze with so many people that was there in order to get in .
took a group photo with the other 4 person before parting .

first hall that we went to was EXPO dome (争艳馆) .
the hall was all about christmas decoration .
took pictures over there and walked around after that .

decided to have lunch first before the massive crowd comes in .
didn't manage to find any table thus all we had was sushi and takeaway boxes .
walked around after that to see some of the countries' exhibition .

left next as the expo was too big and we were lazy to walk around .
adding on it was raining heavily which make it real inconvenient for us to walk around .
took the train back to taipei main station and walked back to the hotel .
rested in the hotel till late noon and we headed to xi men ding (西门町) .

took the train down to ximen station (西门) .
first shop that i visited was a shop that retails many idol merchandise .
got things for yiting .
went to some street stalls to eat after that .

bought yan su ji (盐酥鸡) and in my opinion ,
singapore one tasted better as there's bones in those sold in taiwan .
had ah zong mian xian (阿宗面线) too .
it's one of the popular street stalls in xi men ding .

got some sweet potato balls (地瓜球) too which tasted super yummmmmmmmmy !!
shopped while we ate .
didn't got much stuffs as there's not much of variety and things were pretty expensive compared to shilin night market (士林夜市) .

saw BBQ mochi and being greedy ,
i bought the cheese mochi which tasted soooo good !
went to search for shops which retail guys clothing and my brother bought several pairs of jeans and top .
back to the hotel next .

shopping loots of the day was a black hooded tank , a white tube , several pairs of socks , a pair of flats , a hip hop pants and a pair of furry shorts .
that's all i can remember .
