hey guys, sorry i took so long to update. Was having a hard time locating a computer in the hotel. Finally saw this one yesterday so came here right after my breakfast. How's my trip so far? well, oki i guess. the weather is a little chilly and the nights are longer than the days. My hotel is located right in the heart of Ximen ding. its sorts of like the bugis street in Singapore. yup. Went to Shilin night market yesterday. Sigh.. it was filled with people and its like you need to squeeze through tons of people to get to the shop that you want to go. They sel all sorts of things there. But currently, its winter here is Taipai, so most wares are winter scarf, coat,cute ittle winter hats. I didn't buy anything thought. The stuff found there can either be found in Singapore, or the weather there isn't that cold, till you need like a really thick coat. But they are quite cheap, nevertheless. Walking with the crowd made me feel like one of them. The atmosphere is right, the number of people maybe one too many, but i guess its part of their culture. There are about more than 5 night markets here in Taipei.
Yesterday was the one day tour. We visited the National Palace Museum, where they are having a jade exhibition. Did you know that if you place a jade on your chest, or hang it there for quite sometime(i mean on a daily basis) the jade will change colour? Yup, it will. It will shimmer or grow into a dark black colour.This is due to the changes in our body. If we're happy and our body is feeling healthy, the jade will look really nice. However if it grows into a dark murky colour that is really ugly, its a sign that there's something wrong with our body, we should go and see a doctor. Jades are actually used to let us 'hear' our bodies, when they need the care and concern that they should get.
We also went to this fortune telling shop where we realised that the number 13 is actually not unluncky number, ON the contary, its a really good number. Just by counting the strokes on your chinese name(fan ti zi) you'll know if you'll be successful in life or not. hehe. i've taken down notes on this one.
Today, i hope to go to Taipei 101, where it is located near the largest Eslite bookstore in this region. aww.. i really hope i can find what i came here for.. oki,will try to blog tmr. toodles!!
yi xin bu ke mi
GOD BLESS!!!
