3 guys, 3 girls; 6 friends, 6 crazy days in Taipei!
We'll take some time to do up detailed blog entries about what we did in our six days in Taipei, but for now, here are the links to the albums containing selective Taiwan photos that Evelyn has uploaded on Facebook. There were almost 3000 photos so it was a tough job choosing the nicest/funniest/craziest ones!
The best part is - even non-Facebook users can access the albums!!! :D
But of course, the blog entries will be worth reading too! Coz' although pictures are worth a thousand words, sometimes they just aren't enough. You just have to read about the story behind each photo! Hahahaha... We just have to find the time to blog, coz' there are really too many photos!
And now, presenting the album links!

Taipei Day 4 [Part 1]: Fun at the themepark!
Day 4! Our hotel very kindly helped us arrange for a private bus to take us to LeoFoo Chun themepark, which was about 1.5hours away!
Our driver turned out to be this very nice uncle, who entertained us throughout the ride and gave us good tips for the themepark. We love our Shi Fu!
And more amazingly, the themepark has a zoo! There were even free safari rides which brought us upclose to the carnivorous and herbivorous animals :D
(P.S. There should have been MORE photos for the themepark part, but 200 photos mysteriously disappeared from Ling Yang's camera that night... Let's hope he can retrieve them!)
