Taiwan diary

Tired from an uncomfortable 10 hr transit in Kulalampur and a 2 hour drive from Taipei to taichung , i was totally exhausted . I checked into Splendor hotel around midnight and one look at the king size bed , i immediately fell asleep.


Everything looked good after a good night's sleep. To say that my room reeks with opulence would be an understatement. To top it , it has got a lovely view . Lazily lying on the couch , sipping hot coffe taking in the nightscape of taiwan skyline is a gr8 way to end a hard day at the office. The complimentary buffet breakfast is very good . It has a fair share of veggie dishes along with oriental delicacies.

Solitude and loneliness are separated by a very fine thin line. Time drew out like a blade this weekend. Decided to take a stroll in the streets nearby and also check out the Sogo departmental stores. The streets reminded me so much of korea . Garish signboards screaming for attention , quaint little eateries , 7-11's at every other corner and so many tea shops . Tried a tea nicknamed Pearl harbor. Itz a milk tea served chilled with lot of black pearl like objects at the bottom. Surprised to find three indian food joints around my hotel.Traffic rules are not so strict here and ppl park their vehicles wherever they feel like. Jay walking is also much common. And there are so many motorcycles almost equalling the number of cars.

Currently hunting for a package tour which would take me to the must see places around here. Till then , this is the only view of taichung i get to see.
