Taiwan Adventure - Day 1 Taipei 101 (November 28, 2009)




After visiting Beitou, we decided to do night shots at Taipei 101. Taipei 101 is still considered as the tallest building in the world until January 2010 since it will be overtaken by Burj Dubai. Though not as photogenic as Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur because the building is not well lit, we still had some shots taken. We decided to have dinner at the nearby shopping center, New York New York.

Taiwan Adventure - Day 1 Ximending Market (November 28, 2009)




We woke up early so that we can go to a lot of places since Tin-tin and Hazel will just be in Taiwan for 2 whole days. We checked-out places near our "hotel" so look for places to eat and buy stuff. We ended up going to Ximending Market, one of the famous markets here in Taipei. The stores here are open from 1 o'clock in the afternoon until early hours of the following day. Ximending Market offers a lot of things especially those who are looking for clothes to buy.

Taiwan Adventure - Day 1 Simon Hotel (November 28, 2009)




We arrived in Taiwan around 1 o'clock in the morning. Very tired after the flight, we decided to go straight to our hotel (Lilai Hotel) but unfortunately they can't accommodate us yet since the check-in time is 1 o'clock in the afternoon. The reception in the lobby told us that we can check-in at a nearby hotel and then just transfer there in the afternoon. Since all of us are already sleepy, we decided to stay on the nearby hotel.

Upon check-in, we realized that the hotel is not an ordinary hotel, it's a motel type where each room has a theme. We got two rooms, the first one where I stayed is Japanese-inspired and the other one (I don't know the exact theme) has a chair especially for love making (boom boom! hehehe!)

Curious? Just check-out the picture here in this album. hehehehe...

Thanksgiving Party - Pormalan Theme




Spent the Thanksgiving weekend last November 21 with my headstrong behs at Katitay's house in Mandaluyong. This is like a get-together party since some of the behs don't usually attend the usual weekend gimiks.
