Day 4 - Kaohsiung to Taichung

First of all, Happy Daddy's Day to my dearest Daddy... we are unable to celebrate with him as we are in Taiwan... However, we already bought a very nice and special gift which will be hand carried and presented to him when we reached Singapore...

 
Early in the morning, we set off to Marine Life Museum which is a part of Chengqing Lake (澄清湖)... the special part of this museum is a 200-meter tunnel has a massive bomb-protection door that weighs 5000 kilograms.. after many years, it was turned into an aquarium, featuring all manner of ocean sea life... Next we went to a Pearl Center before settling for lunch at An Ping Old Street (安平老街) tasting their Tainan cusine...

We came across this nostalgic "Marble Soft Drink" where a marble is sealed on top by the aerated pressure of the drink. To drink the beverage – you pop the marble down with pressure and it goes all the way down, the gas escapes and you can then drink the bottle.


We also saw some game stalls and I choose this fishing game from a big plastic container... Mummy just need to pay a small fee and I can sit for as long as I can to fish and pour back my fishes and fish again.. at the end of it, I can choose a toy and bring back...


Our next stop is Qigu Salt Mountain (七股鹽山)... The salt mountain that looks like a snow mountain from distance was originally the place for Taiwan Salt Corporation to pile salt. We were being recommended by the tour guide to try the salty ice lolly... However, I do not like it and chose an ice cream cone instead...


The highlight for the night will be Fengjia Night Market (逢甲夜市) is one of Taichung's famous commercial business districts... We were being told that they sell cheaper sports shoes here... in the end, I bought a pair of Puma sport shoes...


We were being given quite long hours to shop here but there are so many streets to cover and it began to drizzle in the late evening... Soon, its time for us to gather and the coach will be sending us to the hotel.. in the bus, the tour guide told us that we will be staying in a motel tonight... we were all very disappointed but when we opened the room's door... it was a total exclaimation...


Every room had a different theme and everyone of us are so excited about each and every room that we are staying for the night... we then began to tour around each other room... then while Ah ma went over to Grand Aunty Belinda's room to use the massage chair... Mummy and I had a nice bath in the jacuzzi bath tub watching television program on the installed television in the bath room... nice!!


Updates on Kloey:

Daddy stayed home with Kloey in the morning, bringing downstairs for a short walk and buying newspaper... cooking lunch and playing with her...


In the evening, Daddy drove to Clementi and had dinner with Yeye, Mama, Sharon gugu, Pak pak, Pak leong and Chee Leong gor gor... they had a simple dinner downstairs to celebrate Father's Day for Yeye..


When Kloey was there, gor gor brought out his toys for her to play and played together with her too...
