So here are some of my pictures from the Taiwan trip. Don’t laugh hor!
My Taiwan trip was awesome! Experienced many first-times during this trip, however, it nearly did not materialise…
On the day of departure, 25th of November, went to the airport happily. We reached the airport and handed the passports to the tour-leader for her to help us check in. When we were asked to go check in our baggage, the woman at the check in counter started counting with her fingers and asking her colleges in Chinese about something 6 months. Decked in a green blazer and having green eyeliner and eye shadow to match, she looked like a fitting “wayang” actress. All she needed was a hideous high pitched voice and some awful music. She said lamented to us in Chinese,
“This passport holder does not have 6 months validity! Kaohsiung will not allow it.”
Upon hearing this mum, uncle and the tour leader protested and started counting the months on front of her. It was like an armada of kindergarten students counting for their math teacher. It was indeed valid for six months but if u counted the days it was 20 days short. She said that even if she allowed me entry here, the immigration authorities at Taiwan will not allow me entry. My mum was flabbergasted. She was really worried and upset about the tour agent because she asked the agent to check the passports twice, to see if any needed extensions and the agent said mine was fine! My mum was so angry, you should have seen it. It looked as if the entire trip was over. We asked if there was any way to extend my passport and we were advised to try SAFRA tampines, so we zoomed down in a taxi. When we reached there, we went straight to the counter. The lady let me go first and explained to everyone in the queue that my plane was going to take off… The people agreed and some mumbled to each other in chinese ” wah! ta men de fei chi yao qi fei le”
After that we left for the airport and luckily we made it in time! Yay! But my mum was furious! She was so so so so angry that the moment we were got our boarding passes she turned to the tour leader and expressed her unhappiness about the company.
Another major highlight of the trip was the Alishan part. It was a 2 hour journey bus ride up to beyond 2200m above sea level. Temperatures dropped to 3 degrees! Brrrrrr… We managed to catch the sun set on arrival and on the next day we squeezed onto a cute little train to watch the sun rise at some place. The tour guide, a Taiwanese guy, not the SG tour leader, warned us not to be too optimistic about catching the sun rise as the was only a 3 out of 10 chance of getting to see it depending on the weather conditions. Guess what, We saw it! It was like a pearl rising from behind the mountains. Cool, first sun-rise I ever caught!
Another first for me was experiencing earthquake. On one of the early morning, my bed suddenly shook violently. At first I thought someone was trying to wake me up but later I heard my maid scream and we realised that it was an earthquake! Later the guide told us that it was around 4.5 and earthquakes were common in Taiwan. Cool! Earthquakes!
On the last day, I visited Taipei 101, currently the world’s tallest building. The lift took 37 secs to climb 89 floors. World’s fastest lift, my ears popped! Panoramic views.
And on the flight back to Singapore, I was so engrossed in the in flight-entertainment provided by China Airlines that I left my Discman in the seat pocket. SHE was inside the Discman. Sighs. 
So sad!
