← XiMenDing
There were so many people and were so crowded, but there were a lot to see though. The stores are mostly for young people, selling clothings, accessories, and toys.
← 紅樓劇場
This is one of the landmark in XiMenDing.
不經不覺黃家駒已離開我們１２年。我印象中第一次看演唱會是Beyond的﹐以Beyond裡面我最喜歡的就是家駒。家駒離開後﹐我再沒有聽Beyond的歌。我永遠不會忘記我的偶像…黃家駒.
In Memory of 黃家駒:
海闊天空
曲：黃家駒 | 詞：黃家駒 | 編：
* 今天我 寒夜裡看雪飄過
懷著冷卻了的心窩漂遠方
風雨裡追趕 霧裡分不清影蹤
天空海闊你與我 可會變 (誰沒在變)
多少次 迎著冷眼與嘲笑
從沒有放棄過心中的理想
一剎那恍惚 若有所失的感覺
不知不覺已變淡 心裡愛 (誰明白我)
原諒我這一生不羈放縱愛自由
也會怕有一天會跌倒 背棄了理想
誰人都可以 那會怕有一天只你共我
Repeat *
# 仍然自由自我 永遠高唱我歌
走遍千里
Repeat #
← 故宮博物院
This is the entrance way to the National Palace Museum. It is probably one of the most famous place in Taipei. Inside you will find lots of ancient articles; some of which are very interesting indeed.
← 至善園
This is a garden next to the National Palace Museum. It is a nice place where you can feed the fish and the geese.
← Miramar
I know it’s not a great picture; coz I was just passing by. This is a shopping center with a giant ferris wheel. I hope I have a chance to really go there and take a look. It is stange though, since the ferris wheel is just in the middle of a residential area.
Other than going to the above places, I went to look at condos with my friends. They were looking in the district of DaZhi, which is a wealthy area. We looked at a new condo of approx 1600 sq ft and it costs about $26,000,000 NTD (approx $6.5m HKD). It was really nice though. It has 3 bedroooms plus another small room/den and a servant room. The view was alright too, with nothing blocking on both sides. If I am rich, I would like to live there too.
This book is written by Spencer Johnson. I finished reading it within an hour while I was in a bookstore. I think it is a little cheesy. The things it say are quite obvious, but not sure if it is as useful as the book presents them. The whole summary of the book would be, "Live in the Present, Learn from the Past, and Plan for the Future." Truly, not that interesting; can’t believe it is 2nd on the bestseller list in Taipei.
你相不相信有一見鐘情﹖也許他就是你的夢中情人﹖能令我看一眼就有深厚印象的人真是不多﹐但就偏偏讓我遇見這個人。六月二十四日的下午在Subway吃東西時看見一個人﹐到了今天都沒有辦法忘記他。不知道為甚麼對我來說這個人真的很有吸引力。不知道有沒有機會再遇見到他﹖
← 二二八和平公園
The 228 Memorial Peace Park is named after the Feb 28 incident of 1947, the military suppression that resulted in the death of thousands of people in Taiwan. There are actually quite a lot to see in the garden.
← National Taiwan Museum
If you have to choose one day to stay home, choose Monday, coz everything is close on Monday! This is one of the museums that I would like to go in, so if I have time left, I will come here again.
← 總統府
It looks really grand and nice.
← 台大醫院
The National Taiwan Hospital is probably the most famous hospital in Taiwan. There’s nothing special about it though; it just looks like any other hospital.
← 東門 (The East Gate)
I have been to the North Gate, and now the East Gate. This one had been restored, and is clearly nicer than the North Gate. The West Gate would be at XiMenDing, but had been taken down. I will go to the South Gate the next time.
Interesting Fact! At night, 228 Memorial Peace Park is the place where gays and lesbians gather. What I don’t understand is why would they choose a garden to gather.
該是你的 歐得洋
點了兩杯可樂 你嘴角還是苦澀
成全他的自由被鬆綁了 你卻被困住了
幸福 被留級了
也許給愛是甘願的 哪天他才會懂得
想到他體貼的對象不止一個
你算什么呢
說穿了 每段愛 都直得依依不捨
可惜啊 誰能說 對 那應該是你的
心碎了紅著眼看那段拉拉扯扯
除了你誰有資格決定你是犧牲者
天亮了 他走了 你學會什麼心得
聰明人才懂得 該你的才是你的
這首歌唱不完戀人的曲曲折折
幸福并沒有 非誰不可的角色
← 烏來
A village with lots of hot springs; it is also the home of the Native Tribe people. It is a nice scenic area surrounded by mountains and rivers; a nice area to go for a walk and enjoy the evening. You will also find food and snacks of the tribe people, as well as their arts and crafts.
← 瀑布
This picture is taken in 烏來 as well. It is a miniature waterfall, nothing compare to the one in Niagara. It is nice though, since the water is running down along the mountain.
← 京華城
This used to be the famous landmark/shopping center in Taipei, until Taipei 101 came into existence. This one is famous for its building structure, with the circular dome. It’s unique but not that beautiful.
