Thursday, 8th May
Went down for breakfast at JSP, a pretty popular little shop selling breakkie around Xmd. Wanted to try it during the previous trip but it was closed.
Awesome beef burger with egg and cheese
Someone's bbq shit sandwich
Ck enjoying breakfast with his girlfriend
Returned to the lor ba shop to buy the meat for later consumption
Female circular shoe shot while waiting. Were supposed to take a public bus as per the itinerary to Jiufen but we just missed it when we reached so we took a private van for about 1000NTD for all of us. Unfortunately the guy overbooked the van and the 2 skinniest, Ck and Reagan had to squeeze into a seat for the 45mins ride.
Lots of scenery pictures with nothing nice to caption ahead
Nice mountain
Nice highway
Nice road
Nice mountainside town
Nice sea
Nice scooter
Nice buildings
aaaand finally we reached Jiufen
The van dropped us off here and we had to walk a short distance up into Jiufen Old Street
This place looks really similar to Japan
Sj with his newly purchased cap from Xmd
Photobombed by Prince Tim
More facebook profile pictures
Ck looking a little tired after running up the mountain by himself
Mse support combo of sand king and rubick. Cb zai nans
Fucking oily and salty lor ba and egg without rice. Immediately regret our decision
We also had to go to a 7-11 to get the bowl as they sold it to us in a plastic bag
More fb pics while we eat
Nice stain on timberland
Checking out the mountain view
Jin pretty
Acting cool for fb profile pic
Wear this side is Yong Ming
Flip this side is Yong Liang
Headed into the old street which housed many highly recommended foods
The streets were narrow but thankfully wasn't very crowded when we went, souvenirs were aplenty. Mostly food related like almond powder.
Famous ice cream peanut popiah. Disappointed there wasn't a cleavage baring 辣妹 shaving the peanut
10/10 Tourist photo
Ownself pay ownself take change. Sadly, a concept that wouldn't work well in Singapore.
Cold sweet ice cream with thin rice flour skin. Not really that spectacular for us.
Reagan with his laosai bin
How could we pass by this without buying?
Bbq mushrooms of all shapes and sizes
Juicy and fragrant. Nice la
Wild grape juice which we took free samples from, but didn't buy. Xiao gous
Another really famous stall full of celebrity photos selling teochew fishballs
Sadly fishballs aren't that unique in Singapore and none of them tasted special or extremely delicious
More "meatballs" but this time with a special pink char siew sauce
Nice q skin
This is a listed must try when you visit Jiufen. Ah Po's taro balls
I'm guessing it would be shiok to have a warm bowl during winter, but the ice cold version was superb as well for the warm weather when we went.
Quaint little stoney dining area
Spotted the kiap kiap machines when we went to the toilet
Once you see the machine, don't win cannot go home. Ck with his loot
Stunning view of the mountainsides
Facebook profile picture moment, with Tim's nose photobombing
Team cb zai nans
Step one artistic shot
Scouring the streets for Jh's lavender pillow
Stumbled into a souvenir shop selling wu eh bo eh stuff
Ck ji cute yi xia? but still no gf
More of the same scenery
#butfirst台贡takeaselfie
A mountain taking a selfie with his mountain brothers
??? Why suddenly Jh take picture with Yongliang??
That was the end of Jiufen Old Street, and so began the taking of photos with every single random thing
Abandoned building
Sleeping stray dog
Took a photo with a chiobu
Discussing which way to head
Pretty place to stay for a night
Sudd ask Sj climb up take photo
Went to a cafe to enjoy the scenery with a cup of tea like atas ppl. Seats outside were occupied but we enjoyed the air conditioning
Newest fashion coming autumn 2014
Sj giving his impression of Takuya san
Nice stone crack. This picture jitao no point
Yc and Sj romantic date. Like taiwanese drama. The drinks were left behind from a previous couple. They just sat down and used their leftovers as props
The sexual tension hen high
Display pic worthy
Chio bodoh
Perverse Wong at one with nature
Ck purposely showing off them biceps
Very beautiful place. Should have came later so we could see the night view with the lights
Outside view from the cafe. After a long wait and lots of jiaowei the drinks finally came...
Most average green tea latte of my life
Nevertheless, 干杯! Shoutout to the bowl of nuts that we kept fighting over
Sneaky Tim trying to snipe girls from above
Took a different route back to the bus stop so we wouldn't have to see the same things
Fking asian twists. Sj pose hen original
Our 2 fitzais. Too much muscle in 1 pic
The closest we will ever get to seeing Kat nude
The leap resembles how she leapt away from Reagan after o lvls had ended
Satki other ppl pose with porsche we pose with lorry

Jh's dream future profession
Twist here, twist there, Tim hiding his hair
Handsome gentleman Yc
Jh with his dream car
Cute cat
毛毛虫
Help other ppl take but ownself nvr take with the famous sign
Checking out some pastry shop before heading to the bus stop towards Kee Lung
Sj thinking about Qh?
There were 30+ stops listed to get to kee Lung, quite funny. Luckily most stops are at ulu places on the mountain so there were skipped pass. Also, stopped by lots of schools so there were plenty of schoolgirls aboard. Reagan steam. The whole trip was around an hour and a half.
A half fuck sunset while waiting for the bus
Arrived totally disorientated, but we just walked with the crowd and sure enough, we got to Miaokou/Keelung Night Market. Keelung is a harbour famous for their seafood but unfortunately we not 内行 enough to know where the good eateries are.
Our 5th night market in 7 days. Finding a toilet is pretty difficult here
Sj's wonderful discovery: Spring onion mountain pork
nomnomnom
"frog eggs" drink
Does this place look familiar? One of the reasons we came here was because Jay Chou's music video "退后" was filmed here.
Unfortunately the same stall selling fruit juices was no more so we couldn't reenact 因为你今天打架不乖啊
Peanut infused shaved ice
Perverse Wong with his pedo smirk
A snipe of Ck with the girl he thought he knew
A supposed must eat here called 营养三明治. The sandwich is deep fried and splashed with mayonaise. The irony.
Tastes like thai fish cakes. Pretty good
Tried this little stall with only a few seats but constantly full of people
This lu rou fan not simple. Very different style from Formosa's but it's very fragrant and robust in flavor. Good shit
And we got tricked into ordering frozen chicken again... I get that people like to eat chilled chicken with the gelatine but why on earth are there pieces of ice with it?
The temple that gives Miaokou Night Market its name
It's a relatively small night market and we finished it within an hour
Looking to do some shopping. We were starting to get bored when we saw our saving grace.
Kiap kiap machine heaven
With a pretty cute twmm tending it
As usual our no win no go home rule applies
Fucking ducks
and we went for bigger
and even bigger. 越玩越大
We had more ducks than we knew what to do with them, so Jh chose a delighted xmm to give it to.
Bought some 水煎包 to snack on
Weird that the lighting of this picture is so different from the previous one that we took just seconds apart
Trying to take a picture of the street when this guy looked straight into the camera and made things awkward for both of us...
Chio night view of Keelung harbour
Heading to take a bus back to Taipei
So many blur pictures here
Bus fare was around $2 sgd and the duration around an hour. Probably would have been shorter if not for the traffic jam. A shame we didn't have more time to explore around Keelung and jiak some seafood. So ends the last night of our trip. What a long ass post. Final day coming up.
End of an adventurous Day 7
