Last day in Taipei

I'm leaving one day earlier than Jones as he has a seminar to attend to the next day. Days seem to pass faster when you're on holiday ahaha...

Went for Miramar hotel buffet breakfast.




Didn't eat much that morning, now come to think of it, a bit wasted coz I'm drooling just looking at the food now.

Shared Jones' cab to Taipei 101 where the seminar is and we split from there where I walk around while he join his colleague.




Taipei 101







There's shuttle bus from the convention hall to Taipei City Hall Station, but I decided to walk there.





 This park along the way to the city hall station looks so relaxing...



 Saw this 7-eleven with an unconventional colour of black instead of red-green combination.













Single trip token


From Taipei Main Station, I followed the signs to get to the bus terminal to buy the bus tickets to airport. Initially I thought the bus terminal was just nearby from the train station, and thought the one in the pic below was the one to buy tickets. But no...its way away...see my walk there...from the pics below...

Not this one...



Got this map which shows that I'm supposed to go to Terminal A

Gotta walk pass here...



and here...continue walking....

this is the one...

Went back hotel for a bath & a short rest before cabbing back to the bus terminal for my flight back.
Loved this getup  (dress from bonito chico & 2 pound cap from primark)


 Bags are loaded into different compartments depending on which terminal you will be terminating at.



 The bus - comfortable seats








Visited the e-library at Taoyuan airport, which is basically a small cosy room with ipads & ipods. A pity it was a little stuffy with not much air-conditioning, so I left shortly after (no wonder nobody is there)...

Flight to Hongkong
 This aircraft seems so much newer compared to the one I took ex-Sin & the one I'm taking later..

 The waiting area has a charging point for your gadgets...wow...impressed...proceeded to charge my iphone there while waiting for my hkg-sin flt.
