1st Jan 2016 (Fri)

first thing of today is to go check out the way to bus interchg to Airport, so tt later wun so rush.. was worried abt getting the tix also.. and found out the tix can buy anytime of e day and can be used ltr in e day.. 

super tired as last night slept at near 4am after small snack and packing.. checked out before 12.. and went to last destination 西门町 for lunch and last shopping.. today is new yr holiday and the crowd is terrible.. had lunch at 鸭肉扁.. also need to queue.. ordered NT300 goose meat and 2 bowls of mee (NT50 each).. still e same feeling as i hv.. the goose meat is hard.. nt sure if supposed to be like this? was given breast meat thou.. 

Take home is available nw~

short shopping before flea market at 西门红馆..

time to go bk hotel and ready to take 1819 express bus (NT125) to Taoyuan Intl Airport via 国光 bus interchange.. the bus freq quite fast also.. took ard 50 mins reach T1.. 

nice weather

checked in and went to eat at T2 by shuttle train.. rem to cater some time as a lot of walking to be done in order to reach T2 foodcourt.. he missed McDonald's and only T2 has it~.. haa.. and we also found out the food court in T2 is so much better than T1.. and finally managed to eat 張鬍鬚滷肉飯 (NT50 large).. yums..

took bus to 二男 jap restaurant at 板橋.. journey ard 50 mins. who noes when we rch there, already gt long queue and is full hse for lunch.. wasted trip.. nw hv to spend another 1hr to go back Taipei.. 

二男 

in e end went to 忠孝敦化 to look for food.. and came across 度小月.. famous for their dan dan mian. ordering that as well as oyster soup, braised meat rice and grilled pepper pork slices.. 

after tt short cafe high tea at Cafe Lugo, next to SPAO..

went to cityhall station at near 5pm liao.. soo crowded already and train station is ready to close shop for crowd controlling.. went opp shop to buy bread in case hungry ltr.. slowly walk towards where the party is.. and feels getting high while walking towards e destination.. 

bgt one lightsaber as light stick also.. lol.. and managed to get a gd spot for Taipei 101 and a gd stage screenview..

6pm le.. had some performance by handicap performers on wheelchair.. den break till 7pm.. and finally the countdown party started and is recorded LIVE! hosted by 吳宗憲、納豆、Lulu..  started off with 谢金燕 with her 姐姐 song.. but surprised tt she looks v sexy and sang so many diff lang of songs with cute cartoon contents.. hmmm...  after tat are 温岚，潘玮柏，林育羣、畢書盡、韋禮安，some singers who are unknown to me as well as their songs.. only noe that our legs are sore and stomach hungry.. but still going strong. and my cough is getting bad.. haiz

even 台北市长 come out and sing song 

quite hard to eat our bread as crowds quite squeezy when the night is getting nearer to 12am... and the last performer is Elva  蕭亞軒.. 

and soon countdown started! all turn their back and face Taipei 101! ready their cam and phone and time for fireworks video taking.. nvr expect will hv chance to view firewrks from 101 in frnt of me since only able to view frm TV.. glad for the long wkend and managed to get this chance to 跨年 in overseas... firewrks are awesome and seems short.. nvr managed to tk pic with firewrks also.. sad..

been standing for 6 hrs liao.. one more hr to standing and here comes Ah Mei!! hving mini concert by her and the crowds are super high esp when she sang the High songs! enjoyable~

跳动！

and soon end of concert, I was glad thou.. cos end of standing and can go hm zz.. really tired and hungry and slpy and coughing.. the crowd dispersed fast and din expect the crowd control in train is so organised.. or maybe cos of nt much crowd when rch train? managed to catch train and reach hotel smoothly.. nt as troublesome as i tot.. at least we been recee the area at least 2 times, can get to mrt at e correct direction instead of keep search google map.. google map rocks!

the time then was 010116, 0153am..

Happy New Year!! Happy 2016!
