MS LEONG JOANNE: Taiwan 7D6N trip - DAY 1

This post actually is being in my draft for almost a year but i feel i want to publish it no matter what..

Me and my family has been traveled to Taiwan from 17 ~ 23 March 2017 (and now is December 😂) with Golden Tourworld Travel (GTT) (TAIWAN FLORA TOUR) and the price is around RM3500 per person.

Day 1 - 17 March 2017 (Taoyuan - Taipei - Taoyuan)

KLIA ~ TAO YUAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT ~ YANG MING SHAN NATIONAL PARK ~ HOTEL FULLON JHONGLI

Ready for group check in

Our group is made up of 4 families of 16 members in total...so there's plenty of space left in the bus later on

poor girl, need to wake up at 3am and catch a 6am flight

nugget for the good girl

We are on flight and we are flying with China Air

Breakfast on plane

Lasagna (look not appetizing & taste not good also)😣

This one is slightly better, is like Rendang but not that spicy

While people is busy eating, this girl is busy sleeping

Hello, im awake!

1st time on flight, peeking here and there

It looks quite hazy but is actually dew from the low temperature down there, the temperature which i remember is around 14~20℃

We had arrive to our destination. TAO YUAN INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT. it takes us around 4 hour of flight to reach here.

The 1st stop, Hi-Life convenience store, located at the bottom part of the airport lobby.

Upon arrival to Tao Yuan Airport, lunch and dinner is not included, so we do need to feed our self and our Taiwanese tour guide bring us here. We grab some onigiri and bread.
Lets take a look around this shop, honestly, i feel like wanna grab everything in the shop...everything looks special and nice in this shop and this kinda shop is everywhere in Taiwan.

Hot breads and sausages on a chilly weather is 👍

关东煮 Kanto Cooking (Steamed skewer) in clear soup or spicy soup base.

and so so much variety of drinks

Credit to Miss Mabel for the pictures, i didnt manage to capture any image of the shop because im very occupied with my kids and luggage ☹

After all of us buy what we want and we moved to the buses where the driver is parked outside the airport.

This is our Mr tour guide. He is a very friendly and also caring person. He takes care all of us for the whole week and will prepare us some hearty hot taiwanese tea every morning, and he also bough us fruit which he planted himself. ☺☺

He is a very good tour guide. Highly recommended and above here is his contact

Lets look around...Taiwan view from the bus

The fly-over is very very very high

And shoo, we are going back to our hotel and dinner is not included...which means, we need to find food our self..lets go~~~!

This is our 1st night hotel...FULLON HOTEL JHONGLI located at Tao Yuan city...there is lots of food and shop nearby...is quite convenient for night explorer like us...and never mention, their room is ginormous...they have tubs in their bathroom. Not like others hotel we went later on...The tour guide told us that the land in Tao Yuan is slightly cheaper than Taipei and Taichung, so the room are bigger here...

Hot Herbal jelly soup

Never in my life i drank this hot herbal jelly soup...is my 1st time have it in Taiwan and this is the 1st shop...and now i fall in love with it, ill drank this at least twice a month in Malaysia. Guys, if you guys never tried before, you guys can find it in any local Taiwanese desert shop in Malaysia which i know they have in Pavilion KL's Snow Flake and i always have it in Yam Fresh Kepong.
