Taiwan Part 5~ 淡水 (tamsui)

淡水 (Tamsui) is located at Northern part of Taipei City. is literally a port.
is relatively easy to go, u can just take the train and stop directly at Tamsui station. (last station)
estimate 45mins from Taipei train station.







the famous street snack at tamsui, 阿給 (Ah Gei)
it taste like toufu in the outside and there is glass noodles in the inside.




And also i found that the pepper bun (胡椒饼) in tamsui is very nice.. (but i forgot to take picture of the shop. ) The 胡椒饼 at Taiwan is made with the traditional way like the naan. 

This 葱油饼(spring onion biscuit) and 萝卜饼(carrot bun) from other stall is quite nice too.. 




tadaa~~ a hello kitty shop!! 
only food is available here.
and everything (i mean everything, biscuit, cake.... is in hello kitty shape)
i didn't close my eyes. just my eyes look so small... 
this is the kitty at the entrance.

instruction on 'do' and 'don't' when take picture with the kitty.
so cute..
small hello kitty soft cake...


The next interesting things is....
the long ice-cream!!! the one that i'm holding is a mix flavour.




there is even more interesting stuff here!!
a whole shop that sell OWL decoration!! and is handmade
and yes!! of course i bought it too.. hahaha






Interesting toys at the toy stall.. this thing caught everyone attention !
(not only us, all the other tourist to) 


cute and playful stocking.. 



natural ingredient shoe sole...


In Taiwan, they appreciate art too..

is a real man.


 i like this, it looks so real.. haha..

there is also bicycle to rent and cycle around but we didn't rent it.. kinda regret that.. haha
but is really fun to visit tamsui.. 


After done touring tamsui, we stop by another station. which i forgot which station is it.. haha
is a place where everything is about art.. hehe


Always took a 'sampat' picture.. 


the rice in Taiwan is so yummy.. is different from the rice we have here.

A gallery.
there is basically no one is this building.. no even a security guard and we were the only visitor there. 
In Taiwan, everyone trust each other and is very safe to walk around the street and to take any public transport.


Beautiful pictures of Taiwan.

ceiling made of plastic bottle.. (amazing huh? haha..)


there are models of future construction.. i m not sure too..
or it could be just art.

on the right.

view from the balcony.. feel so relax.. haha

outside of the building...
ECOARK - the name of the premise we just visit.

wonder how we took this pic?
we were taking group selfie for.. i lost count how many times, then this foreign tourist was like 'give me ur camera and i'll do it for u' 
so he help us to few picture.. haha..

walk further down the road...

Lets take a magazine cover photo..


more picture with us playing around it..
my bags and others things is at the place we took the picture above
and is so safe that we don't care about it at there and ran further away to take more picture.. LOL



Another random piece of art.


check out the bench at the park. 
so sad for those homeless... 

i guess they r preparing for some events.. held in 2016?

Heaven of Preowned goods


  • Do u love shopping?
  • Do u have lots of unwanted clothes in your wardrobe?
  • Do u have items from lucky draws / indoor goodies that u don't need?
  • Do u get unsuitable gift / present?
  • Are u creative but have no platform to sell your product? 
  • Wanted to owned a personal business but no time to manage?
The phone apps that i'm going to share today is going to solve all of the problem above.

INTRODUCING CAROUSELL


This it the platform where u can sell / buy preowned or preloved (secondhand) items .
It's so easy that u could make a deal within minutes.

set your location and it will browse the nearest seller around you.
u can also meet up with the buyer/seller for COD (cash on delivery)

Other than buying and selling, u can also swap with other user. which is a win-win situation where u get rid of what u don't what and get what u want for both party.
Is a great apps that u can get things when u r in limited budget. Or u just need to use that things once or few times only.


Here is the few categories that i view from my phone.
Different phone model may view it differently, so don't freak out.

My favourite is the design and craft!! Love to check out what hey have there.. teehee =)
I also like to check out the antiques section, there r some real old and u-thought-u-will-never-see-this-things-again items there! very interesting..

Don't forget to check the ticket and voucher session... u may find any interested concert ticket there!! or voucher. ( i m giving away free voucher too. As i don't go to these places often so better give it to someone who want it. )



It's so easy to use.

#1 Take the picture of the items that u want to sell. (click on the middle button that looks like a camera).

#2 Add description/details about the product. (size, material, selling price, used/brand new) and match it with a category.

#3 Your item is now up for sale! Just wait for interested buyer to message u. 



I used this apps almost 2months ago and i sold 3items!! is like the first 3business in my life!!!
I AM SO HAPPY!! This feeling is awesome!

The 1st items that i sold!!! so freaking happy
Check me out!
I would just give away vouchers that doesn't suit me or is located at places that i don't go always.
it feel great to share things with others especially when they need it!! or in this case want it.. LOL


Give those preloved item a second life! Don't let the fashion go to waste!! 
Instead of letting those unwanted items (in good conditions) to rot, why not let others that like it have them? that i item deserve a better life like u! 
Besides, u can also earn some money from selling it! haha...
