Taiwan Trip Part II KL-HuaLian

The day after i reached KL, i went to KLIA again but this time, i was with my brother and the two of us were about to fly to Taiwan for a 8days7nights trip.

Of course this time  i was travelling in Economy Class. Not rich enough to fly Business Class mah…( the Business Class i bought for KCH-KL was below RM270). This was actually my first time travelling to oversea by air and therefore, i am a total stranger to KLIA’s international departure terminal.

In Taiwan they called the train 台铁. It’s like KTM in Malaysia but trust me, KTM is nowhere to compare with it.

If we wanted to take a shortcut to go to the opposite side of the HuaLian station, we could buy a ticket to get into the train station and walked to the opposite side.

The place we stay in HuaLian. It’s not hotel, more like hostel for backpackers. In Taiwan they called it 民宿.

By the time we reach our hostel, it was already 2am ++ and the next morning we woke up at 8am. This was the open ceremony for the most tiring trip i’ve ever had in my life, yet it was fun.
