Finally starting on my true mission on this trip!

The Ark Royal started rehearsals for their mini tour around Taiwan and I played shaker & triangle under Kailin’s guidance. It was fun.

Taipei Fine Arts Museum

Caught up with Regina & Kailing for exhibition + dinner. I was so late for the museum that they didn’t charge me for entry HAHA.

This was a loooooong night. I had to go out and get an egg from 7-Eleven because they had an open jam and the jammers were so enthusiastic they refused to leave OTL

More photos here!

17th December 2016: Taichung

出發咯~ First time on the HSR (high-speed rail) and I wanted to read but I fell asleep (super soundly).

Our accommodation was a really pretty place called 台中鳥日子! (HAHA the name)

Taichung is a really nice place though! Compared to Taipei, the streets are a little wider, the vibe a little quieter – very relac la.

Dinner!

And it’s a wrap! Ahaha. From planning and organising this mini tour to actually seeing it happen, it was a crazy busy journey and I had fun, but I’m glad it’s over (till next year).
