26Jan-1Feb 2013 | Taipei Day 1 - Ximending


JayJay and I have decided to visit Taiwan as our first overseas trip ever since we got together.  


This is my 2nd visit to Taiwan but its our first overseas trip together. We are not familiar with each other's travelling preference and habits. Hence I was both nervous and excited at the same when I planned the itinerary. To be honest, this is the first time my itinerary has ever been executed and there


We arrived at Taoyuan Airport at 12 noon via Jetstar . At the arrival hall, there were cab drivers offering airport transfers and for that moment of weakness, we paid TW2000 for a 2 way transfer in a Mercedes car. 

After looking through Agoda's reviews, we decided to stay at Ximen Citizen Main Building for 7 nights. It is a stone throw away from the shopping district and 10minutes from Ximen Station. The reception area was spacious and there was a surfing corner  and some desserts for the hotel guests. The receptionist generously upgraded us to a superior double room and this room is spacious enough for 2 person and still have our luggage lying around the floor.
