Some Hotspring, Wharf, Museum...and mainly museum~

In my opinion, a relatively uninteresting day, until a very interesting event which happened before the night ended. Allow me to reveal it later in my entry....but yup, we went to Beitou and Danshuei district at the north part of Taipei.

Take the MRT to new Beitou district, just a 10 minutes walk from the MRT station is the thermal valley. Beitou district is very famous for their hotspring even before the Japanese colonization~

Gosh~ my bet that you get cooked instantly when you jump in~

Beitou Hotspring Museum~A few blocks away from the thermal valley~

Have to change into their slippers

It was once used by the Japanese during their colonization...so the architecture and structures are mostly Japanese style

A rare mineral stone that can only be found in Beitou District... Mind you, is radioactive~

Here is the old pool.......

Another must visit in Beitou...why? merely because it is an award winning architecture~

Hmm~ I am not really an art guy la~

Anyway, at least we came~ ha!

Ketagalan Culture Centre~ Another aborigine's Museum

No camera beyond this point~ But to our surprise, alot of words and culture are very very similar to our Malay language and culture~ Even the Ketagalan itself sounded so Malay-ish~ No offence though, I don't know much about Darwin's evaluational theory to comment~

Nothing much left in Beitou, so we took another round of MRT to Tamshui district. Being the centre of colonization, alot of European Colony building and architecture could be found here.

Belongs to a Qing Dynasty officer

Dan Jiang High School(淡江高中), the place where Jay Chow film his "Secret" (不能说的秘密)

A Dutch building

Very similar to those found in Malacca

Solitary cell

Used to be the work place and residence of a Dutch officer

Old canon from Qing's Dynasty

The dining hall

Martyrs Shrine

An old fort with a canon launching battery

Walk all the way here just to see an empty fort......

Finally, the fisherman's Wharf (淡水渔人码头)

Alot of couples are here to watch the sun set

The lover bridge

Serenity~~~~

At night, we went to Shilin Night Market （士林夜市） to meet up with another 2 friends who did their electives in Taipei

Merely interesting~

Quite ok~ but as I said, interesting~~

Here are the love birds~

Another round of food~

大饼包小饼(Big pie covering the small pie)

First, crush the biscuits and then cover it up with a piece of cake batch

Nothing special~ Just a glamorous name~

Just when we were about to leave, a very familiar figure caught the attention of my friend~ Guess who?! Is JOLIN TSAI!!!! OMGOSH! She was quite alert as she quickly noticed our gaze and ran away with two of her assistants. The next day, appeared in the newspaper, Jolin was dating with her boyfriend in Shilin Night Market~ Syiok~~~ =P
