Fun Taiwan

Waking to a totally different view was pretty great and I was really caught by surprise when I opened my eyes this morning and saw a giraffe roaming around and seeing the birds chirping at our window. I did not notice any glass windows last night when we checked into our room as the sky was already dark. 

The kids were super excited and can’t wait to be out feeding the animals after our breakfast. We headed for breakfast but it was rather a disappointing one though the spread was not too bad. I guessed it was the taste that I am not used to or familiar with coz’ I really did not enjoy the food at all. 

We took a stroll within our resorts after the breakfast and both kids and elderly enjoyed looking at the animals at close distance and they too wanted to take some pictures with them too. As there weren’t much to do in the resort, we went to the resort theme park which was just a few minutes’ drive from our resort. 

As my father in law wasn’t feeling too well, the elderly decided to sit at the café while we brought the kids to explore the park. It wasn’t crowded and we managed to take some rides the moment we entered the park and we went for the bird show which was quite educational in my opinion. They talked about saving the wild animals by keeping the environment clean and not to destroy the nature. It was quite good and though it was in Mandarin, the kids were able to relate just by watching the birds and the animals.

We returned to the resort after 2 hours of fun at the theme park for Zoo Safari where we were taken onto a designated vehicle to the African Tribe Herbivores Speacial Area and observe the different animals’ behavior in their habitat along with the professional, interesting introduction by the guide, bring the adults back to the fond memories of entering to zoo over 20 years ago.

The Zoo Safari was quite a cool experience where you get to see the animals up closed and the closest was the zebra which roamed around the zoo and came close to our vehicle. That was really cool!! The tour lasted about an hour and it was totally worth the visit if you are staying that this resort.

We checked out of the resort in the mid afternoon and headed back to Taipei city. Our guide took us to the nearby popular Feng Jia night market where we had our dinner at one of the restaurants. I heard so much about the night markets in Taiwan from friends and they always mentioned to try their local street food which was pretty tasty. Yes, we did. Hubby brought the smelly beancurd to try but did not give the thumps up while I took the safer choice which was the Gai Dan Zai Taiwanese Style and it was pretty tasty. 

Honestly, I dun supposed that will go wrong anywhere in the world! The kids were more interested in wasting our money on the vending machines than to try out any street food. Out of all the street food we had tonight, my favourite would be their milk tea… hahahaha…. Thumps up!
