it was raining heavily the whole of last night. scary, we could hear the rain and wind hitting the windows and rooftop.

woke up, washed our face, ate breakfast with 刘阿姨.

and we walked up the mountains with 刘阿姨 to go to a bus stop to take bus to Keelung. the walk or rather climb is abt 30 mins. slope, stairs, name it all...

exhausted is the word. i kept panting (erm, din know if my face turned pale? hahaha), ok, blame it on my no-exercise and weak body..
but mind you, we were carrying our heavy haversack on our back ya!

worst walk in my life so far.. hahahha!



finally caught the bus to Keelung. then we took bus from Keelung to Taipei main station. from taipei main station, we took 捷运 (mrt) to ximen station (ximending), where rainbow hotel （长虹大饭店）is situated.

it was around 11am. we were lucky that there was room available, we checked in and put our stuff and it was way to xinbeitou, hot spring!!!



90 minutes of hot spring. wah, my 1st experience. hmm, the water was quite hot, but after sometime, we found the temperature bearable..

then it was way to 淡水。 actually wanted to go 淡水漁人碼頭 but the bus driver said it was closed due to typhoon and so din want to pick us up.

went 淡水老街. ate 阿给鱼丸，阿婆铁蛋，and a super long (or rather high) ice cream!!

started to rain when we finished walking. ran back to the mrt station.

back to ximending. we walked around and had korean food for dinner.

went back to hotel. watched the news on the typhoon. seems serious. well, im more afraid that my parents will be worried. they called me, but seems that the typhoon news have not got to there, and so we chatted for awhile.

we were worried.. as though no mood to do anything else. and so, we went to bed at 1030.
