Taiwan Dairy - Day 5

Day 5

Got on train at 9.30 and took a 2 hour ride to Taipei. It was fun! The views were amazing and I ate lots of junk food... hehe! When we got to the Taipei Main Station we bought these One Way Travel Cards. If you want to travel on the underground train you can by a One Way Travel Card or a Easycard which you can use heaps of times. We bought the One Way Travel Cards (OWTC) and took a ride to this department store,out of the 12 levels 7 were selling clothes..... yawn. We saw these people selling these stickers with your name printed on them. It was NT$100 (New Taiwan Money) for 300 stickers. There was millions of designes, like Doramon, Disney etc. etc... I picked Naruto, my mum these cute disney characters and my sis Hello Kitty! I've also bought Brians present. The bad news was that we had to wait 30 min, then 1 hour, the 2..... later we found out that they were unexperienced and the perfessional was in a traffic jam. So after like 2 hours of browsing we gave up the waiting and told them to mail the stickers. We bought more OWTC and took another train to Kun-Yung(There's like lots of little citys in Taipei, kinda like Manukau in Auckland but there's like 50 little citys!) where my cousins live. They live in this apartment obviously but my sis thought they lived in a castle... LOL! We got in and said hi and had somethings to eat. After we watched "Click." I cried. It was very sad, I'll give it 5/5. It's a cool movie but it's random that all the dogs like humping that duck...... random! After watching me, mum, dad and my sis went to the Trainstation and took another ride to watch the countdown and fireworks at 101. When we got to the other station it was swarming with people! (We later found out there was 500,000 people at 101!) We soon got bored because we had to sit on the dirty street for 2 more hours. So we came back and watched "Drumline," it was pretty good, I'd give it 3.5/5.
