Taiwan Trip- REI

Rachel Chew from 3C

Wow...I still feel this atmosphere of surrealism.
I know I'm going to set of to the airport to fly to Taiwan...but...it still feels so surreal.
My mind has seemed to registered that we are going to a totally foreign land, but the rest of my body doesn't.
So somehow, I am in a daze.

But!

That doesn't mean I'm not going to have fun~!
The most important thing...is to build lots of unforgettable memories with everyone and make the best out of youth(?)! And yes to learn as well...

I haven't went to anyplace further than Malaysia...so this is going to be a huge turnabout for me.

My only issue is that I might actually have communication problems even though I'm a Chinese, how embarassing. O///O

But that doesn't mean I won't try my best.

For the trip, for the teachers, for my friends, and for myself.

With that, let's all have a great time together!!!

P.s: It's a pity the Muslims have Halal restrictions... From what I've learnt, one of the best things in Taiwan is the varieties of glorious, glorious food. It makes me feel rather...sad? Or dejected that they won't be able to savour these delights. Oh well. There's no way shaved ice has any pork in it right? XD

NIGHT MARKET!

Night Markets

These collections of street stalls, sidewalk vendors and small canteens are a major part of the Taiwanese social scene.

In Taiwan, night markets are known for its specialty xiaochi food items. Xiaochi translates broadly as "small eats" or snacks. Such foods are either served as carry-out or sometimes at small tables with stools for seating.

Specific foods will often change from year to year with passing fads and become characteristic snacks of Taiwan, such as oyster omelet, Taiwanese Fried Chicken Breast, and stinky tofu persist.

Not only is food served in night markets, but also a lot of products are sold. You can buy many inexpensive, high-quality products, such as clothing, shoes, accessories, toys, CDs and so on. In night markets, you can eat delicious Taiwanese cuisine and find marvels everywhere. You can experience special and memorable trips
in Taiwan.

Well, tomorrow is the day!!! I hope that we will all have a meaningful trip in Taiwan.=)

多几个小时就要到机场搭飞机到台湾了。现在的我心情复杂，又开心，又紧张。这是我第一次自己出国，所以难免会感到有点不安，可是有朋友的陪伴让我感到不那么害怕。

到了台湾，有很多美食可以品尝，也可以观赏很多新加坡看不到的风景。想到这里，我就感到兴奋。不只是那样，还能够和当地居民交流，认识和了解台湾的文化，让我迫不及待。

希望这次到台湾，可以有很大的收获。

Taiwan trip 2010!
I cant't wait for tomorrow's trip.
Its so surreal!
Most importantly,i am going with my friends!
It would be a wonderful experience as you would be sharing a common experience with your friends.
I am sure that this trip would be full of unforgettable memories and it will take us away from our hectic studies schedule in school for a while to relax and just have fun!
I heard of the delicious food in taiwan and the crazy shopping experience you will have there.
Also,i can't wait to go visit the Yehliu National Park and the natural rock formations as this is a rare sight that we don't get to see in Singapore.
The Xiaoyoukeng Volcanic area is also not to be missed,one of the highlights i would put on top of my must-have experience list in my Taiwan trip.
Kuo Yuan Ye Museum of Cake and Pastry and the Miniatures Museum would be a great enlightment to me as can you imagine a museun just for cakes and pastry and can you also imagine a museum full of miniatures?
To end of the trip,the shopping there would be just perfect.Forget about the Great Singapore Sales in Singapore,the taiwan shopping there would be madness,it would also be one of the highlights too!
To keep it short,I CAN"T WAIT TO FLY OF NOW TO GO TO TAIWAN!!!

Tomorrow is the day! 15June2010=)

I researched on the computer about the places we are going to go..

Since everyone has posted on the famous places and famous foods, i am going to post about the first night hotel we are staying in.

[SHANGRILA YILAN]

I am surprised at the facilities there. We were said to go for farm play and playing traditional games so none of the ideas brush through my mind that it is so high class and so NICE.

Imagine us eating here with all our dear friends, it will be the most memorable.

Wow!! This is the first time i see such a BIG swing. I find it really interesting. It is also a very good place for memories. There, we can relax with the beautiful scenery infront of us. Looking from afar, breathing the fresh air after a long stress from school. It is also quite a good place for going with families. This time, with friends, it should be a WONDERFUL experience.

zzz.... Sleeping!! Everyone's favourite. How nice is this place=) It is so big. I am sure everyone would have a good night stay. So sad that it is only for one day.. I will miss this place!! I also wonder how is it like to have a day without parents, but only friends. No one who nag for our own good, no one to help us with luggage and tidying. How is it going to be? Lets see...

Shangrila Leisure Farming is one of the best leisure farms in Yilan. It features gardens, farming paths, Chinese style courtyards, and many kinds of fruit farms and folk activities. The Shangrila tea shop and restaurant serve delicious cookies, dishes, cuisines, and buffet dinner, offering either Chinese food and Western food to satisfy visitors' needs. The farming also provides the outdoor coffee shop with a tranquil atmosphere for all visitors to relax during their vacation. Other on-site facilities in the farming include a conference room with a capacity of a hundred and fifty people, a KTV singing room, parking lots, high speed Internet access, and some other facilities. The staff in the farming will delight each visitor with warm greetings and exceptional services.

Taiwan Shaved Ice!!!

好期待到台湾阿！

说到台湾的创意氛围就应该少不了台湾的冰品店吧！！！

台湾的卖的冰品都是材料满满的，就像一桌山一样，让人就想马上买一碗来吃。
看到这一汤次匙的冰，就让我想马上飞到台湾吃一口。

我也像试试看那里的面线希望和新加坡有很大的分别，因为我知道面线来致台湾所以应该会比较好吃。

我希望会在台湾学到很多东西和他们的文化。

Before we depart for Taiwan..

Dear all,

Are you excited? There is less than 18 hours before we depart for Taiwan!

In order to have a great trip, here are some gentle reminders for all of you before we depart:

1) Taiwan's weather changes easily, so please get ready 1 jacket or sweater although it's summer.

2) 1 set of full school uniform.

3) If you get motion sickness easily, you may consider to prepare some motion sickness pills.

4) Bring camera if you have one. It's needed for the project work.

5) Make sure you have 1 scrapbook, which we'll use it almost every day during the trip.

6) Prepare at least 1 gift for your Taiwanese friends when we visit their school.

7) DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSPORT!


So we'll see you at CHANGI AIRPORT TERMINAL 3, 6.30am tomorrow (15 June)!


* Please contribute by posting some of your feelings or leave comments in this blog. We need all of you to make our Taiwan Trip's blog wonderful!

Taiwan here I(We) COME!

Isn't it a nice picture of TAIWAN-Taipei ?!
Although we are not going to Taipei 101 but this tower
has served as an icon of modern Taiwan ever since its opening.
-
I'm looking forward for this Taiwan trip. I doubt everyone is.
One more day and I will be in Taiwan, waited for so long.
Have been wanting to go to Taiwan, every holiday I will always
ask my mother '' Can we go to Taiwan?!'' but we never have a
chance.
So a big thank you for teachers who choose me to go to this trip.(:
-
I'M SO EXCITED!
Watching taiwan idol drama make me want to go to
National Taiwan University and explore their campus more
than anything.
Night market and Ximending (西门町) is the next love,
because is shopping and eating time.
I doubt it will be a great trip with teachers and friends!! ((;

TAIWAN HERE I COME!
