Left my footprints on:
Taoyuan Airport
Hong Kong International Airport
The Cityview (formerly YMCA)
Shopping centres/streets around Jordan MTR station
Experienced:
As if yesterday's mishap (forgetting to lock) was not enough, I actually dropped the breakfast vouchers onto the floor and no one noticed haha. Only realised they are missing when we are near the restaurant. Fortunately no one picked the up!
The im-gonna-miss-taiwan syndrome.
The shock when I stepped into the Cityview's room: the total size is probably less than one-third of yesterday's room. Then again, it's HK
Really hard to find a toilet. Luckily there's a KFC about 300m away.
Missed Taiwanese' way of welcoming you which sounded like "光临"
Experienced really good and terrible service in the same night
I became a walking discount coupon. Bought a Timbuk2 bag at 30% student discount by showing..my face

Depressing morning rain.
Tasty and good-looking pineapple tarts with a little egg yolk and tried some curry pastry.
A blurred experience in the National Palace Museum. No photo-taking, speedy tour, no memories.
Geomancer calculated my element without my birth time(时辰). He calculated a different element from my previous in-depth reading. He calculated the number of strokes in my name too, but at that point of time we couldn't agree on the number of strokes in 毅. In the end he tried to sell me an Oynx Pi Xiu (貔貅) which looked like this:
Had lunch at Five Dime Driftwood House, which resemble some of the characteristics of the famous Spanish architect, Antoni Gaudi.
Witnessed a changeover parade of the guards at the Martyr's Shrine. (There's a short video clip in the slideshow at the end)
The shopping mall at Taipei 101 felt like Raffles City.
A lone Falungong (法轮功) practitioner at 自由广场.
Our hotel room at Chinatrust is like a chalet - with kitchen, fridge, living room, dining table, etc
On day 2, we locked ourselves out. Today it's the opposite (or worse), we forgot to lock the door and left it for a couple of hours! Doors in this hotel do not lock automatically. We didn't lose anything fortunately.
Bought the single trip ticket to Shilin night market via their MRT. The ticket is actually a small coin-shaped token. When returning, slot in the token into the coin slot on the gantry.
