the Day to go home
Ah.. its been two months since I came back.. time to finally finish and close this chapter of my Graduation Trip. So.. it was Day 8 in Taipei, our itinerary for the day being the two memorial halls and finish up XMT! Last day breakfast was at a local stall outside our hotel, serving sandwiches and burgers which were quite good infact, and kinda felt like should have ate it more often... well, discovering a gem on the last day is far better than never discovering it at all.
We went back to SYS memorial to get the calligraphy book, and there were some problems as the author wasn't there but it was miraculously found hidden under the table as we were about to leave, so hmm, a little good luck on our last day. With us being the lazy sobs that we were =), we cancelled visiting the CKS memorial and went straight back to XMT for some walking around and eating... Shopping in the afternoon and on a weekday wasn't all that great, a certain vibrancy was missing but the food made up for it, and at least tried the 阿宗面线 + the shaved peanut ice which were famous...
Well, finally time to leave Taiwan and after checking in, we met up with the initial group of NUS people who did a different itinerary for the past 8 days and well, we were basically comparing notes and complaining how terrible Kaohsiung was =), before we headed off for some last minute shopping to clear the Taiwan dollars / coins that we still have. Only to be stumped later cos there was a vending machine which allowed us to bring drinks onboard, why pay 3 dollars for a can of coke when there's a bottle for 1 dollar! Although that made for many sneaky drinking involved. There was mild turbulence onboard the plane, forcing the flight attendants to be seated and that marked our dinner time. We hurriedly whipped out our donuts and drinks and could eat/drink without fear of getting caught. Gosh... hate budget flights!
A quick 8 days was over just like that, marking the end of my graduation trip.. it was definitely loads of fun and yup good memories all in all... and oh! my little present for myself.. a little doughnut for breakfast!
