Thursday, November 08, 2007 || memories at taiwan

this is the cash token to board the metro train at taipei, looks kind of special,which is really an extensive link of network...i took the metro during the free and easy, though taxi service would be much faster, but well, when you are in another country, i would like to try out their other transporation service, be it public buses, taxis or trains etc...





the train station at shilin night market station...one of the trips i took during the free and easy...nothing much different as compare to the singapore station...

the speeding train preparing to move off...well, most of the language there is mandarine..,so i am still able to understand what the signs means...



this is the shilin night market...basically, it's a street filled with vendors from all over the trades along both sides...be it delicious road side food, clothings, shoes, recretional etc...you name it, they have it...quite crowded at weekend nights, but a lot of nice food that isn't available in singapore...good experience to explore the night markets, one of the tourists attractions in taiwan...





this is the matyr's shrine, the grand gate from the interior view...one of the stops in the tour...actually there's nothing much here, it's the guards sentry that are attracting people to come and see...




a zoom out view of the sentry guards...the guard have to undergo special trainings in order to be appointed sentry,...it's a super tough job to take, imagine one standing still without moving at all, and even their eyeblinks have to be controlled...it's similar to the guards at the istana...




a close in shot...look at their stern face and pride expression...these guards will have to stand there for 2 hours, afterwhich a parade form of exchange will take place for the next duties to take over...i believe these guards have been the subject of many photos taken there...

:memories:

before you say an unkind word think of someone who can't speak before you complain about your food think of someone who has nothing to eat before you complain about life think of someone who went too early to heaven before you argue about cleaning your house think of the people who are living in the streets before whining about the distance driving to school think of someone who has to walk the same distance before complaining about your job think of the unemplyed desperate for work before you point finger or condemn another remember no humans is perfect when depressing thoughts seem to get you down thank all those around you who encourage you remember to give love always to others
