Yehliu Geopark and Ocean park!

Yeeay finally to the ocean! We went to Yehliu Geopark and Ocean park last sunday, just the two of us haha.
It was really nice to see the ocean, the weather was not really hot but still hot.
First, we went to Yehliu Geopark. There are so many rocks, beautiful rocks and one of them is
shaped just like a queen's head. So it's called the Queen's head :D
We took so many photos in there :)
Here some photos that I took in Yehliu Geopark!










It was really beautiful and really cool :'D
After exploring in Yehliu Geopark, I went to the Ocean park. It's just beside the Yehliu Geopark.
Ocean park's just like attractions from animals of the sea and some swimming dances.
It was really great and awesome. It was raining at that time, so I can't took some photos really clear.
I got a free ticket again from Boon Yee, so it's free again :D



 After that, we went to a small aquarium in the Ocean Park. There are so many fishes in there,
but I just took some of them that looks really unique :)



There's a souvenirs shop too, and so many cute dolls. It's too cute, Taiwan's doll are really cute :3


It was really a tiring day, but still got so many time left. So we decided to go to
a night market near Yehliu and go to Shilin Night Market.
I've bought so many things in Shilin. The price was really affordable, and many souvenirs from Taiwan too.
I want to go there again later :D I want to buy some souvenirs for my family and try foot massages in there :D




  

I had so much fun on Sunday, and really tired of course. Taiwan's have so many wonderful places.
You should come here too! :) That's it, wait for the next post! cheers :B

Saturrrday

Last saturday, I went to one of shopping center in Zhongxiao rd. Boon Yee had something to buy
so I just come along with her. So many expensive things in that mall, of course all of them were branded
stuffs. Even when they on sale, it's still expensive. So I didn't buy anything in there, but there are so
many great stuffs like clothes, trousers, blanket, bags, and etc. Taiwan's stuffs have successfully attract me.
Some of their stuffs are really cheap, and expensive. Still I have to think about my bagagge, I won't exceed
my bagagge anymore :B

After that, at night we went to Long Pu residence. There was a celebration in there, some of
their chinese tradition to celebrate their God's birthday. So we were invited by Mr.Chen to attend the celebration. There were so many foods in there, and so many people too. The foods were free, so I ate a lot.
But some of them were porks, so I didn't eat them. I just ate the seafoods :D it was really delicious!




We watched some performances and fireworks. It was really good because the fireworks were
too many and exploded in every minute haha. I watched some of their tradition performances too.
I really had a great day on Saturday. Thank you Mr. Chen for invited me to a free dinner and watched
so many awesome fireworks :D

Leofoo Village Theme Park!

Yesterday I didn't teach the children, mr. Chen give us a day off soo we went to a theme park.
Leofoo village theme park located in Guanxi, not really far from where I lived.
We went there by a rent car. It was a sunny and hot day, so I sweat a lot.
My hair was messy again arghh.
There are many kids in there, the games weren't too scary so the children can ride it safely :)


The ticket entrance is 900 NTD. But I got a free ticket from Boon Yee specially for foreigners.
So I didn't pay for the ticket yeay! haha. But I think with the price like that, it's worth it guys.
There are soo many places you can go, many good facilities too.
I went there with Boon Yee, and there's another 6 people which is Li yang's friends.
They were really nice and excited too haha.
There are some scary games in there, like rollercoaster or something similar like that.
I can't follow-up those game, it will make me vomit for sure.
So I just took some semi-scary games, and it was really fun haha.









There are 3 different theme places in this theme park, there's South Pacific, Arabian kingdom and African Safari.
First, we tried South Pacific first. Games in South Pacific are just like in the photos above.
Just like a jungle, vintage restaurants, and many dinosaurus too. 
After that, we tried Arabian Kingdom. It is so beautiful. 
It's like we went to another far places, have a different atmosphere. 
The people clothes just like Aladdin and Jasmine. The songs too, arabian songs everywhere.
The games are fun too, and we watched a performance in there. It was really great. 
Actually it was beside the South Pacific side haha. 




The last one, we went to African Safari. It is a zoo with so many attractions in it.
So we saw many animals like white tiger, lions, parrots, rhino, zebra, and etc.
We ride a monkey trail too, it's like gondola but we ride it by ourselves. Just like ride a bicycle.
So we can see everything from the top, it was really fun and we stopped for many times 
to take a photo of the animals. 





We took a tour bus too, to see the Carnivora animals. We saw lions, monkey, tiger, and bear.
For the Herbivora animals, we just took an open train, and it was really slow so the guide
explain everything while on the way. 





Fortunately, there's no panda huft. I really want to see panda argh.
After thaat, we went back to the South Pacific side. All of them were trying the games again and again.
The games were really scary to me, although it's not really that scary and the length of the game was really short. But still, I just waited for them and I don't want to try another things.
At the very last time, they forced me to ride 1 scary games. I refused so many times haha.
But in the end, I just follow them and ride one. It's like kicir-kicir in Dufan, Indonesia.
It was really scary but I tried to calm down and enjoy it. Well, it was fun haha. 

Leofoo Village Theme Park was great. It has so many fun attractions, and you won't be bored in there.
That's it for my post. I hope this will be an useful guide for you, i f you want to go to Taiwan :p
Okay bye then! :)

Kids and kids!

And todaay! 5th of august, we decided to just stayed at home. We don't have any guide, Li yang's not at home and Boon Yee only know shopping places. But we don't want to shopping anymore haha.
So today we just had a lunch, bought cakes & drinks, and repaired Andy's bicycles.
From now on, I'll ride Andy's bicycle. But it's too heavy and the distance's really long.
I think i'll faint everyday haha.
Maybe next weekend, we will explore Taiwan's places again! Just wait okaay! :)

Tommorrow, project again! We will teach them some new lessons, hope they can get along with it.
Last friday, we taught them dance actually. But they didn't want to dance.
They always play around and I told them to coloring some pictures, but
they just get excited at the beginning. After that, they play around again haha.
But they do like singing and some simple games. They just happily singing the numbers song.
So everyday we always sing some songs about the lessons, and they always sing it so loud :)

Well that's great, it's one of way to get them recognized with the lessons. Singing some easy songs to them, and they will recognize it really fast :)


Well that's it! I was going to upload some videos of the kids singing the numbers song,
but the file is too big and I don't have the converter. My small laptop's cannot handle too many programs :p
I'll upload some videos of it when I go back to Jakarta! Okay cheers! :)

Weekend! Ximenting and Guting

Well hello! It was weekend again so I can traveled again to some places in Taiwan :)
This time I went to Ximen or Ximenting, shopping place for anyone, and it's really crowded.
Some of the prices were affordable, and I bought some stuffs too :D
There are soo many things to buy in Ximen, I can't help it but have to save money!
If you want to go shopping in Taiwan, you can go to Ximen. There's so many stores in there
with variety stuffs! :)


After that we went to night market again, in Guting. We took MRT again to get there, and while we were walking there's a girl suddenly asking me "Is this National Taiwan University? What about there? Is it same?"
Wew don't ask me haha. So I just let her talk to Boon Yee, and she didn't know too.
She was a tourist too actually, she surprised that we're tourists in Taiwan too haha.
She's korean anyway, so that's it. Later Boon Yee said to me "I'm not a Taiwanese, but I lead all the way to here haha" True story. Boon Yee already like a Taiwanese, she knew every places in Taiwan.
She already recognized some buses number, and etc haha. So she's my guide now in Taiwan, thank you anyway Boon Yee XD



Well soo, we went to night market in Guting and have a dinner in there.
There are so many clothes, bags accessories stores in there just like a mall but in the street.
Because I didn't really interested to shopping and Boon Yee too because she wants to save her money
so we just went home after that. It was a fun and tiring day. My feet was really tired, too tired haha.

Thick bihun :p , and Tofu.

Some stuffs that designed by the seller itself. :)
Okay then that's it! See you! :)
