A day stroll around Taipei with Angeline
My longest bestfriend, 20 years friendship, was just coming to Taipei. She has been chosen as one of Indonesia Finswimming National Team for 15th Finswimming Asian Championship delegation. She wasn't expected that this year venue is in Taipei, me neither. However as soon as she heard that the venue chosen for this year is Taipei, She immediately contacted me and told me that she will fly to Taipei. soon. So, here she is in Taipei. Manseeeeeee 👩❤️👩👩❤️👩
As soon as she was arrived in Taipei, she line chat me "lets meet up" bahahaha. But, I visited her hotel at her second day, "Sorry Line I couldn't come for your first day as I have overtime also in office". After a whole week full with her championship schedule, finally she has an empty schedule, her last day in Taipei. So I decided to be her best tour guide that day 2015/11/08, well not the best actually. I was late 30mins to pick her up at her hotel. But hey, please pardon me. Her hotel is in Tianmu, Mellow Fields Hotel to be exact. Dang, Tianmu is like more than 1hour away from my house in Zhongxiao Fuxing by bus. The bus stop even located at one before the last stop! However, right after I picked her up, we directly go to National Palace Museum.
National Palace Museum is a must, IMO, for a tourists. People can learn Taiwan history briefly. I personally love this museum architectural design. We took a photo together at some spot.
Hahah, just look at Line's eyes.

After we gladly finish our National Museum tour, Angeline asked to have lunch first. Can't blame her, athletes metabolism seems just as fast as Shinkansen. It wasn't even 12.00 pm yet. She want to try modern toilet restaurant due to its unique concept. I was the one who suggested this restaurant to her since I know she likes to visit a theme restaurant. She looked so happy and excited with this restaurant and able to capt a lot of photos.
Modern Toilet restaurant "quite ewhhhh"

After a full tummy, we were heading to Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall, another must go list in Taipei. Chiang Kai Shek is the former president of Republic of China (a.k.a Taiwan).
The Gate.
Your photo isn't complete without a jump pose photo, rite.

Conquer Taipei
Don't you think it seems like I've conquered Taipei?
In the top of Elephant Mountain (象山), you can see a whole Taipei. It is best to hike before sunrise or sunset time. The hikes took me around 20 minutes to the top, the hike trail includes a lot of stairs so it is totally save and comfortable for the hiker.
How to get here: MRT Taipei red line, to Xiangshan station (象山站）Leave from exit 2 and then continue walk along the edge of the park. There are some street signs that will help to show the way to the entrance of this hiking trail.
