Day 6 of our trip.
Another gadget day for bf.

We woke up pretty late that day. I think probably around 1pm, cant remember. We took the train from JianTan Station(劍潭站) to Taipei Main Station(台北車站) for the Nova Computer Mall (台北中正區NOVA資訊廣場)!

Opening hours: Monday-Friday：11:00am-10:00pm, Saturday 10:30am-10:30pm, Sunday 10:30am-9:30pm.
Address: No.2 Guancian Road (next to Misukoshi department store)
4 storeys high with approx 120 shop

It will be a little confusing on which exit to take when you step out of the train. We got a little lost and so frustrated that we decided to just step out of the station, then locate Nova. Seriously it is so much easier.

Its pretty easy to spot Nova. Just look out for this messy building.

After buying all the gadgets Bf wants, we head over to Daiso which was located nearby. Daiso is cheaper there, around SGD$1.60 for each item as compared to Singapore which was SGD$2 per item! Hehehe. And its huge!!

The whole level was Daiso and Daiso alone!!

We didn't get much things there. We were pretty exhausted, so not in a mood to walk around that much.

For late lunch we had Macdonald. We thought that we should at least try how the burgers taste like there. And also the experience of ordering our food by looking at the Chinese menu. Who the hell knows what MacSpicy is in Chinese. Hahahah!

Here we are playing with the little tripod we got from Daiso!

When we were heading back to the train station, we came across this underground mall, so we decided to walk walk see see a little before going back to the hotel..

Random picture. :p

So here our purchases from Nova and Daiso. Not much la. Can you see the tripod? Its so cute!

Tripod again..

I think we were back at the hotel at around 6pm or so. After resting for a short while, we headed out to Shilin Night Market again.

We bought some clothing and shoes. And we also got our supper before heading back once again.

I bought myself a cup noodle from the convenience store. To my surprise, there is meat! Real meat inside! Damn shiok. And it is quite cheap too!

Why dont we have something like this in Singapore?

This is Bf's supper from a coffee house downstairs our hotel.

Mash Potato that looks like ice cream!

Beef burger!

Cheesecake!

This is what we bought from the night market! We love cheap shit man!! :D

Today we actually plan to go XiMenDing and also some other places. But we were just god damn tired. A simple day in Taiwan is also one of the best way to spend a holiday.

Everyday, after we had supper, we would watch some movies on the TV before heading to bed. Did I ever mention, the air con in the room can be adjusted to 10 degrees!!! Hohoho!! We normally set it to about 14 degrees, and I will tuck myself into the bed with a comforter and a jacket. I love that man!!!
