went for a holiday to Taiwan with my family last Dec ~
the trip was overall an enjoyable one and I got pretty much stuffs over there .
shall start blogging on the happenings on the 1st day .

board the plane at about 10+ am in the morning ,
had lunch on board the plane .
arrived at Taiwan at about 3 pm in the noon .
due to the traffic jam ,
we only managed to reach the hotel at about 5 pm in the evening .

washed up once we checked in to our room and off we left for shilin night market .
note : alight at jiantan (剑谭) station instead of shilin (士林) station to minimize walking distance .

walked around in search of food .
finally settled down at one of the stalls over there .
after dining ,
we went to walk around shilin night market ~
loads and loads of pretty clothing were sold there and pretty low price and i really regret not getting them on the 1st day as I thought there might be more at other night market .
:(

went to tian lan xiao pu (天蓝小铺) @ shilin known as Bigi in search for buyers' bag as bigi dont accept overseas order that time .
was at the shop for a pretty long time while waiting for the shop assistant to help me check on availability of bags .
got myself a bag over there !!
:D

headed to another outlet next which is located at da nan (大南) to collect some of the bags which I reserved at the shilin store .
luckily its within walking distance .
collected the bags and off we went for a mini shopping trip while carrying more than 20 bags on hand .
:(

got myself a pair of jeggings at 250 NTD only !!
headed back to the hotel next as it was pretty late .
webcammed with love back at the hotel and turned in past midnight .
that sums up my day 1 in Taiwan ~
