17 Days Visit Taiwan for the First Time - Day 1

This is a trip with mom
This is our first visit in Taiwan
This is the first time I bring my mom
This is my mom first overseas travel
This trip wasn't planned ahead
This is never ending trip
First few days were wasted for getting lost
Last few days were wasted for getting tired

Day 1 Taipei

First thing first, settle internet with NT$1000 for 30 days Unlimited Internet, you can find this in airport after you exit from custom. All operator are selling at the same rate for tourist, so there is not needed to recommend any special one here, the maximum is 30 days here.

 of all, we took the train from Taoyuan International Airport to Taipei Main Station. It cost NTD160 per person, and 1 hour travel time. Then, checked into 3S Inn Cube for NTD 1063 per night, walking distance from Taipei Station is about 10 minutes, if you didn't got lost.

The room isn't big as you can see from the photo but at least is not sharing with others, you got your own "private space" after all.

The toilet is sharing with other ladies from the same floors, this was my favourite shared toilet among all hostel I stayed, why? Check picture below out!

After a day without a good sleep, we quickly clean ourselves and have a rest for 1 hour before exploring outside. The bathroom provide hair and body shampoo, is really convenient for traveller who don't bring their own shampoo, like me HAHA.

From our place walk to Ximending was just 15 minutes, anywhere got tourist crowd, should not be too bad anyway. So we bump into this shop called 鸭肉扁 (English translate as Duck Flat???), funny thing is they don't sell duck at all, they sell goose meat, goose intestine, and pair with noodles!

The way they order will be like: You want 200, 300 or 500? If I not remember wrongly, being first day in Taipei, the brain not sleeping so many hours, me and my mom were just confuse even asking for many times.

 End up just simple choose 300 and a noodle, it is really worth trying, the soup is clear but it's really tasty! The sauce goes with the meat was chili sauce and plum sauce.

Moving next, the Red House Theatre during my visit was under renovation, so we just went to the Carrefour in Ximending to get some groceries like face wash, detergent, I bought myself a FILA slippers and mom's a pair FILA walking shoes.

This Carrefour is one of the tourist hotspot due to it locate in heart of Ximending and 24hours business hours, this mean you can go grocerry shopping in midnight when you feel hungry!
