Taiwan trip Day 5

We set off early from the motel at Hualian to Rui Fang as car ride takes abt an hr and we need to be at the shop for water rafting at 8am. On the way we saw ppl selling watermelons and decided to get 1.

Taiwan's watermelons are long not round!!


Went to 7/11 to buy breakfast. The cold noodles. Tasted not bad..a bit like the Japanses cold soba

Look at the boxes of milk and jucies. Arent they cute?

The owner's dog; Xiao Bu Dian. Haa.. like happy, Xiao Bu Dian is also a greedy dog. Keeps on coming up to us when we were having our breakfast.

Its actually my first time doing water rafting and i totally LOVE it!!!!!!! Its fun. The whole journey which includes lunch break takes about 4 hrs. There are 10 of us in 1 boat and our boat consist mainly of females. We are suppose to paddle the boat when there is no rapids and hold on to the boat when we are at the rapids. There are altogether 4 boats from the rafting company which we went to. With the 4 boats, there are 2 more instructor cum life guards who would follow us throughout the journey. Their job is to save us when we are stuck at certain shallow part or to save us when we fall into the water and is unable to get back to our boat on our own. While paddling through the calm waters, knowing that we would be bored, each rafting boat are equiped with water shovers...haha its for us to play water war!! We can also used to paddles to splash water. There are certain part whereby we are stuck at the rapids and water are pouring into our boat like nobody business and at that pt of time we tot we are gg to sink. But miraclously we didnt!! haha..wanna sink also cannot.

Haa..can spot me in the photo (hint i am one of them with the victory sign :P)? From the photo, u can see that we must keep 1 leg in the boat and the other one outside..as a results, both my legs are badly bruised from the bumping!

After the rafting

While on the way back to Taipei, we stopped over for a late lunch.

Hnmm..cant remember what this Bing (ice) is called..but tasted not bad.

All the tasty food

Its was alr abt 9+pm when we reached Taipei. As its still early, we went to Xing Meng Ting to shop ard. Hee..manage to persuade Bernard to pierce his ear!

Ta-da! Nice right....not painful at all....

Also at Xing Meng Ting, there is this very famous 3 story high bra shop with glass walls, called Easy Shop. Its a MUST GO when u r at Xing Meng Ting. Their bra sets are very nice and prices are quite reasonable. Too bad the salesgirl doesnt allow us to take photo...Me bought 2 bra sets from there.
