Day 5.3

Xiziwan 西子湾

The staff at the KMRT stations are a friendlier bunch, compared to their Taipei peers. Maybe Taipei is too developed, people move to fast to bother about everything.

The stations in Kaohsiung are more pleasant to move around in.

I say this because a staff at the KMRT station near our place helped us with getting to our location.

Thank you very much.

Anyway.

I bought this cultured milk drink from 7-Eleven.

Photobucket

It tasted really good. I think the Uni-President brand can really come up with a lot of quality products.

Our first stop was Xiziwan - I don't remember how they spell it - Shihzihwan? Can't remember la.

It was kind of recommended to us by our landlady.

Photobucket

There were lots of scenery. As well as people.

We wanted to catch the sunset, but unfortunately it was too cloudy. =(

Photobucket

Saw some activities going on that are banned in Singapore.

Photobucket

Xiziwan is actually located within the property of a university.

Photobucket

But being a university, usually anyone can enter.

It's just that hardly anyone bothers to tour NUS, you see.

Photobucket

See, the sun's gone.

Photobucket

And we walked on a pavement along the coast.

Photobucket

Photobucket

People fished there.

Photobucket

It actually is a restricted area, you had to climb over some barriers to get to this part.

The university.

Photobucket

Looks more hilly than NUS.

There was some museum that we didn't go to.

Photobucket

And we hopped on the bus to head to our next destination.

Photobucket

The buses are very friendly.

Photobucket

Every time the driver makes a signal or hit the brakes, you'd be warned.

We got onto a special KMRT.

Photobucket

It was so romantic, we decided to play along.

Some people choose to go in pairs.

Photobucket

Some...alone.

Photobucket

They even tied ribbons to the railings.

Photobucket

Buay tahan.

Photobucket

I don't really understand the point of the whole thing, but quite special also la. If this is gonna happen in Singapore, I can expect the ST forum to be flooded with letters telling the authorities that the whole idea is sick.

But I think I like such ideas =D haha very cute ma.

Brings a smile to your face, no?
