Day 1 and 2 in Taiwan

Day 1

Arrived at Taipei around 6.50pm, it was way dark here around that time, thats the different I noticed when I arrived, it turns dark here past 6pm, well I was stopped by one of the entrance, I guess they sensed that I carried bacteria over from Malaysia, I went through some basic medical check up and thank goodness I was through, the lady just told me to drink more water thats all =P After check out, I went to pick up my luggage, it was pretty fast finding it! huh! As I know Amber will be waiting outside, as I getting nearer and nearer the exit, my heart beating pretty fast, as I met her, my heart burst! Gave her a nice tight *hugs* After that, we sat bus back to her rent home at Min Sheng East Road.
