Hey boss

 Went to XiMenDing in the evening again to finish our purchases and I really don't want to regret not looking for Show's shop since this is the 3rd time I visit Taiwan! And so here it is! If only I can work part-time there while studying in TW..

Ok, and here's some self-shots of my OOTD which can be ignored HAHA!

HI GUYSSSSSSSS!

Yes yes I know that I'm a lazy blogger that doesn't do daily blogging on my overseas trips.

I apologise for that but still, I would like to share with you guys regarding my December trip to Taiwan which ended just yesterday :(

Thought that I would like to share more about Taiwan before I get back to reality and get started on my school and church stuff!

And as usual, Taiwan is still on my no. 1 list when it comes to traveling overseas! (despite going there for 3 times already)

Ok, so let me list down 10 reasons why I love TW so much.

1. The people there are very friendly and approachable, and this equates to the place being tourist friendly

2. My complexion gets exceptionally good when I am there. Probably cause of the dry (non humid) climate over there, I just need to apply a good amount of moisturizer and my face will be protected! My pimples automatically subside when I'm there. And another reason may be because they don't provide as much chili sauce at the eateries.

3. There is NO language barrier there, except that I have to brush up my Chinese communication skills because realise in SG we always mix a little bit of Chinese and English when we talk.

4. The people there dress up so nicely and up to fashion and you won't get judged even if you doll up a little bit more! Cause it's a norm to doll up there! Esp when it comes to winter, you can just put on your boots together with a nice scarf and also your coat! There's just so much more room for dressing up! And when you walk on the streets, you seldom see people who dress sloppily/ underdress.

5. There are so many provinces for you to explore and each province has its unique aspect! Taipei provides more of a city life where you can shop like mad at their night markets for cheaper stuff but of course at the expense of the product's quality. Whereas places like Hualien, Miaoli, they are more of a suburban/ outskirt areas, where the pace of living is much slower, air quality better, and people naturally live longer there. With a simple lifestyle. And those places are ideal for retirement life which my parents are really keen about!

6. Love the music & entertainment industry there. It's so developed there and music artists are normally well groomed there before bringing their career abroad.

7. Animal-friendly place! The people there are allowed to bring their pets especially dogs around even in restaurants, trains, banks etc. It's just so normal! And I guess that's why their pets are normally very tame. And they really love their pets so much that they even doll them up! Especially during winter, when you look around they'll normally put on winter coats with hoodies for their doggies! Whereas in SG, we can hardly bring our pets out except for outdoor places such as parks. And I keep thinking to myself, if only we were living in TW, we can bring milo out more frequently and he will be so much more tamer!

8. 9. 10. I guess I will only be able to fill these up the next time I visit TW again. ;)
