Taiwan 2014 Day 5 - 第二市场, Sun Moon Lake, Yi Zhong Street, Partyworld

Tuesday, 6th May

We were supposed to get up early in the morning for our trip to Sun Moon Lake but everyone was very nua, so we got ready at around 11 and headed to Taichung 2nd market for our breakfast.

As usual we cabbed over


Home to some very famous lu rou fan, we had the less famous one but it was also awesome


HOLY FUCK GOOD

Perfect company for the braised pork rice

Pig trotters


This one quite funny. Some funky leaf soup

Explored a little and found this 肉圆 store listed on the web. Photo obviously took by Reagan


Enough hor

Control leh


Walao


可以塞几根?


So good, why sg dun have? The pink slime was some chilli sauce


抄手, one of the best dumplings we had there


Wanton soup


Moar dumplings



Just around the corner, a carrot cake shop that we can't figure out why it is so famous

Literally tasteless kueh with orange sauce on top. Even the egg got ruined by the sauce 

Internet recommended this. Quite funny


Average until crappy. No way is this 肉包 famous


Another 'famous' 潮州鱼圆面'

Literally tastes the same as the mee pok here. Nothing special


Eat food also can wink. Ridiculously photogenic Yc


Took the 1pm bus to Sun Moon Lake, which was really late by the usual standards.



The bus ride was pretty nice though, trip was around an hour and a half, and cost around $10+ i think, can't really remember. Not very crowded and we had snacks to pull us through. Lots of scenery shots to follow that i will try my best to caption.

Going into tunnel

Cloudsss

It's a really beautiful place, a lake among the mountains. The whole place looks different depending on whether it's sunny or misty

It was raining slightly when we reached but we weren't bothered much by it.  

Spin spin spin press out your memory coin. Bought ferry tickets that stop at a multiple places at regular intervals, so you can stay at a stop for however long you want.



Secret snipe of our good bitch of the day. More of her to follow.


Most of us brought umbrellas but i don't know why we didn't use them after halfway through


The harbour where we board the boats. 

Jh posing with the famous Sun Moon Lake sign. There were too many tourists taking with the real one so this will do.


Aw good bitch took a different boat from us

More little girl snipes. This Reagan zzz


The only selfie that had everyone looking into the camera

Ahhh such beautiful scenery, reminds me of a poem by Confucius..


"饮水思源,冲凉不严。懒叫咸咸,爱情不甜。"


First stop at a 玄光寺 that's popular for the tea leaf eggs. And maybe a temple but we just came for the eggs


Chio bu on poster gian steal home fap fap fap


8/10 tea leaf egg


lol only climbed to go toilet

lol didn't go see the temple. Ah tiongs were everywhere it felt like we were in Singapore


Oh it's her again. Kept seeing her everywhere we went even though our boats were different. Obviously her mother gian pia die us. Tim keep hope her mother fall into the lake so she will sad then go club drink with him.

Dp worthy shot of Yc

Ck and Sj bromance pose


Si ginna pi how old liao still play gang hand signs


Bth Ck act cute face


Group photo taken by ah tiong bu, they're not all bad



After our stop of only eating tea leaf eggs, reboarded the boat to our next stop 伊达邵






We planned to take the cable car here and visit the aboriginals museum as well but it closed at 3pm so we just had a walk around their town area.

As soon as we alighted we saw this guy strike a catch


korkor fishing pose jin satki

Big freshwater fish

Apparently he didn't even use bait. The hook just caught the fish on the tail and it got reeled backwards onto shore. Unluckiest fish of the year




Nice reflections from the wet boards






Their 'town' area mostly selling food and souvenirs. Unfortunately many shops were closed as it was late so we literally had nothing to do.

Slut 土鸡 open legs wide wide

Bought some yam rice wine from this nice auntie to ensure we didn't return empty handed




Random bug on the boat.


So many pictures that i won't bother captioning all of them




Clouds in the middle of the lake


Ck left the zoom on and this was the result


More selfies by Ck




More group shots with the ferry manager threatening to run off with our camera


Headed back to the bus stop area to waste some time before our return bus arrives







There wasn't much too eat at the stop so we just had some of Tim's favourite food



Garlic to 配 the sausages, goooood. Dem stray dogs peeing all over the place though..

Took a 2 hour ride back to the hotel. Bladder was exploding

At a library themed souvenir shop right opposite our hotel. The prices were really expensive funny though


 I think this was part of the display picture period where they took pictures with almost everything



Then must take so many photos here


Rest of us were more interested in the ice cream shop right beside though

Even let you pick 3 free toppings to go with the ice cream. It was good but we couldn't finish the huge pile they gave 

A short trip back to the hotel for another toilet break. We have bladders like senior citizens

Photo rage time


How many display pics you all need?


Act cool lah hor


Yc fit poses


Take so many then never use la hor

Sj with his Porsche

Yc with his ign


They saw this picture of the cute receptionist with the 食尚玩家 voice guy. Tim wanted to steal it back home for whatever reasons.

When Tim does this pose he looks like he owns it

When Ck does the same pose he looks like he's stealing it. 很奇怪. We were about to set out for Yizhong Street when one of the receptionists asked us where we were from. We actually asked them about nightclubs in Taichung the previous day and they thought we were bad boys or something. Suddenly, some small talk and we got photos with them.

Finally no longer stuck with aunties, moving into the pretty girls bracket. Joan and Candice are their names, our first Taiwanese friends obtained


He helped us to take the picture so we took a picture with the male receptionist, Larry as well. Give him our picture 让他留念新加坡的帅哥哥们. Reluctantly left the hotel and our new found friends to Yi Zhong Street which was a short distance from the hotel.   


Looks like a pretty happening place, lots of food and shopping



Knn chicken cutlet again



Some red tea to wash it down

Knn even more chicken...

Some underground shop selling clothes at low prices

Jh with his favourite ite red shirt

Perverse Wong playing with hairy stuff again

It looks like a great place to eat and shop but sadly many shops were closing as it was near 11pm. So we went back to the hotel in hope of seeing the receptionists before they ended work for the last time since we were checking out the next day, turns out they already went back home. Went to Partyworld nearby to celebrate our last night in Taichung. Remember to bring a student card even if it's expired to enjoy discounts. 

Huge ass room with 6 hour sessions, free snacks and private toilet, what's not to love?


As usual Ck had to sing the female parts cause we have no girls....

Jh's favourite 半岛铁盒 rap


自high. Returned to the hotel at 4am or so, and the sun came out before we went to sleep. Fucking vacations feel so good.

End of an exciting Day 5
