on the 10th day of taiwan, my true love sent to me...

(30th May) - Taipei // Jiufen 九份 >> WufenPu 五分埔

our first stop was to Jiufen, the town which Spirited Away was inspired by.

would love to see the nightscene of jiufen when the lanterns light up.

九份

can notice from the last picture that Jiufen is situated on a mountain, so its alot of stairs and narrow alleys. 叶爸爸 told us to be careful not to fall lest we fall on someone's rooftop!

pardon the weird angle, i rotated it to show the how the house look like exactly, tier by tier.

a fantastic view of the ocean from the mountain

and they have tea houses like these that brings u closer to the sky and the sea.



how can we forget FOOD.

shellfish


芋圆仙草. chingchow with yamballs.

maggie n eu thinks you will not want to know about our shopping at WufenPu. I was too distracted to take pictures anyway. In short, it was humongous (imagine bugis street x 5 and its ALL CLOTHES) and we basically got ourselves lost within, esp without the boys as shopping time = the gender divide.

eu: "gie, will u be scared if i told you we're lost"
gie: "its ok, normal ah"

after dinner it rained heavily and we had to seek shelter in shops, alleyways which offers the littlest shelter from the rain. In the end we gave up and no choice but to scurry home to ye mama.
