20130610 Taiwan Day 9 - leaving Taipei for Singapore

Last day in Taiwan.

 

 

Po po said that she would never want to go on long trips again.

 

K said that she would never want to go to the mountains again (after she threw up).  Even the idea of seeing snow in the mountain does not tempt her.

 

 

We had a leisurely breakfast at Keymans Hotel before we checked out.

Me spreading butter on my bread!



Do you know how did the coffee turn into light brown?  First, the coffee was dark brown.  Secondly, mommy poured the creamer into the coffee.  Thirdly, after the creamer had mixed with the dark coffee, the coffee became ...... light brown coffee!

Charlie felt uncomfortable the moment we left the hotel (well, at least the kids took turns to feel sick.  Imagine if they all fell sick together! :P).  So while the rest of us went for lunch at this small eatery in the Taipei station (where the Kuokuang buses were), yi yi had to let Charlie rest and brought her bread for lunch as she had no appetite.

Mommy bought tickets for the return express bus to the airport.  Luckily for us, this time round, there was no timing for the bus (we could take any bus so long as we had the tickets) as Charlie had to go to the toilet in the last minute!

At the airport, Charlie felt hungry again and si yiyi , yy and Charlie went into one of the Chinese restaurants along the corridor to our departure gate.  The restaurant served food very promptly and they later declared to us that they had eaten the most delicious meal in the whole Taiwan trip (ahhh..irony!)

The plane took off in the afternoon.  While we pre-ordered the meals for gong gong and po po (mutton redang.  Thank goodness mommy did not order for everyone!), we ordered instant noodles (the menu showed that they have Haagan Daaz on selected flights but sorry m'am, not this flight) and (no prize for guessing the right answer), K felt asleep after that and did not wake up until the plane almost landed.


Me on the plane going back to Singapore



Me on the plane, closed the window, didn't even open the window, asked for the shawl, closed my eyes and went to sleep. Then, it was nighttime, I woke up. Yeah! It is the end of the Taiwan holiday and we were back in Singapore!

When we landed in Singapore, we discovered that our luggage was badly damaged.  Unfortunately Jetstar Asia did not compensate damaged luggage and so we had to see what the insurance company said.  A not-so-pleasant ending in an otherwise good and fun trip.
