5 senses.
The trip to Taiwan is a wonderful and memorable one. From wad i see, i can never finish talking bout wad i'd see, hear, taste, smell and feel in Taiwan, highlight some we in s'pore don get to see. For example, their sky start to get bright at ard 530am. it's real early ok. den their sky start to darken at ard 5pm plus 6pm. by the time of 7pm, it's entirely dark. Den their traffic is super messy. you have no idea which car is going towards which direction. especially at a junction, it is best to follow the traffic light. If we were to ask a Singaporean to drive on their road, i think they have no idea which way to head. haha. One word to describe: scary. Next is their mountain and scenery. In s'pore, everyday we see are HDB flats, MRT tracks and buildings. Once in awhile getting close to nature the feeling is really great. Our tour guide did told us dis: for those who appreciate nature it will be ' 好山好水好风景' , for those who don like nature it will be '好山好水好无聊'. does it make sense? haha.
From wad i hear is hokkien and mandarin. language is quite similar to s'pore but they don have those 'leh' 'lah' 'lor'. they have their ascent and i almost influence by the way of speaking. haha. oh ya, while shopping ard xi men ding. everywhere i go, i get to hear those latest music or songs. almost every shop is playing the same song. haha.
From wad i taste, their food is rather salty. i shld say very salty, cant use to their way of cooking. I can rmb, there's one day we went to a night market and we bought plum sweet potatoes which is actually sweet potatoes French fries. was asked if we wanna to add any salt or pepper. we chosen pepper and the taste is neither hot nor spicy, it's salty! haha. and i happened to order a fruit tea. thought it will turn out to be those sweet and tasty tea. end up is a cup of tea wif lime, lemon, oranges and it sour! omg! >_<''' really too sour till i went speechless. however whenever we go for lunch or dinner, they will always serve us tea. it's their culture anyway. ppl like me don drink tea in s'pore and i drank tea in Taiwan, weird rite? haha. another thing to highlight, i tasted their Taiwan beer. taste like those soda, soft drinks. the gassy taste will be tasted first den follow by the bitter taste. i think Taiwan beer taste better, maybe i like the gassy taste. haha.
From wad i smell, nothin much other than 臭豆腐！it's ok for me but not for my parents.
For the last sense, touch, i shall change to how i feel bout the country. The country is not as fast pace as S'pore. i can rmb when i was at shi lin night market buying 3 cups of fruit juice, i waited for bout 10mins. you can say tt they freshly prepared it, but at tt point of time i wasnt rushing for time either so i observed them and start to think... is iz their pace of life?
Everyday i reached the hotel, will tend to switch to dis channel, GTV, they showing 终极一家, 娱乐百分百 and all sorts of MTVs. the night before i return to s'pore, they showing these new dramas 美味关系 and 公主小妹. eventually on the last day, i had actually got hook onto those tv programmes and the country. sort of hoping to stay a little bit longer but anyway if there's chances, i will wanna to go Taiwan again. on our way back to s'pore, we experience several turbulence. i totally feeling very uneasy and uncomfortable. the pressure is going up and down. seriously sometimes i'm really afraid of taking plane. motion sickness? hopefully i can get back my photos soon. =)
waiting waiting and still waiting.
