#TONG HUA KTV HOW TO#

she walked out to get me because i didn't remember how to get to their apartment. I got off the bus at the stop near this big hotel, which is also near my grandma's house. i didn't leave shilin until around noon, but i still got to taichung around 3pm. the drive to taichung is only about two hours. since there wasn't a lot of people, everyone could get on the next bus. since monday afternoon is not a busy time, you just go and buy a ticket to taichung, and then wait for the next bus, which comes every 15 minutes. these buses in taiwan are really convenient. but then after entering the kingbus station, i realized i just had to cross the street to get to the ubus station, so then finally i got to the ubus station. after his directions, i'm not saying his directions are bad just that this place is seriously this hard to find, i still wandered around a while (pulling my giant suitcase) before finally finding the kingbus station. i wanted to take ubus (tong lien), not kingbus (guo guang hao), but the guy pointed to kingbus which he thought was pretty close, and then ubus which he insisted could only be reached by way of a huge skyway across a busy intersection that involved a million little steps up then down (and i had this huge suitcase with me). finally i asked this guy that seemed to know.

i asked a few people, but they didn't seem to know where the bus stations were. i tried to follow the signs and at least exit from the correct exit (there are like a million exits out of taipei main station), but as soon as i left the train station, the signs stopped. unfortunately, the bus stations are not actually in the train station (unlike the mrt and trains, which are all in the same building). i pulled this huge suitcase with me (since i was bringing some stuff to my family in taichung) to the mrt station, took the mrt from shilin to taipei main station, and then had to find the greyhound type bus stations, which wasn't that easy. finally we settled on йќ’е±±е€Ґй¤Ё (qing shan bie guan), the reviews said it was affordable and clean, and later i would learn that, the reviews were right! we booked the hotel, it was 1800NT (~$60), a pretty good deal i thought! we started with a list of hotels i had found, and she looked up prices and reviews online. my cousin thought it would be better to book one first, and while at first i thought it wasn't necessary, later i was glad we went through the trouble. so this was my plan, just get myself up the mountain and then find a hotel when i get there. i asked if there were any he could recommend, but he just said there were lots and not to worry. he said to take the train up the mountain and then there would be a lot of hotels. on my train ride back from hualien, this guy suggested i visit alishan. what really held back my start to taichung, though, was finding a hotel for alishan.

first i ate a gui yuan (some kind of chinese dried fruit) cupcake, which tasted like a normal cupcake, plus a gui yuan flavor, and plus occasional gui yuan chunks. my arm looked pretty ridiculous.ДЄnyway, that day i planned on going to taichung, to visit my grandma (mom's side) and uncle+family, but didn't get to a very early start.

for some reason, this oval spot next to my watch was burned especially bad.reflection off my watch face? anyway, that part went through some extensive peeling in the last few days, became very white, and then got especially red due to the sunny adventures in bali/danshui and the children's recreation center. Monday i took a picture of part of my sunburn to follow up on hualien's mishap.
