Taiwan Trip 9th Nov 2013 to 16th Nov 2013 (Day 1)

Kuala Lumpur International Airport Taiwan > Taoyuan International Airport  > The house of Loreto, Miaoli 苗栗洛雷托聖母之家(362苗栗縣頭屋鄉中正街20號)> Fengjia Night Market 逢甲夜市 > 逢甲夜宿



Excited, we were on our way to Taipei. Our flight departed from KLIA at 925am and arrived at Taoyuan International Airport at 210pm. Then, we were picked up by our tour guide cum driver Angel Chang Ya Pei.

The first place she brought us to wa '7-11' and we had our first meal in Taiwan. I really love Taiwan 7-11 as they sell my flavourite rice ball and sandwich.
Later, she drove us to our first destiny- The hourse of Loreto in Miaoli. Last year, I went to Loreto, Italy and visited the original Our Lady of Loreto and now I visited the replica. Too bad, I could not take picture in the house of Mary but I able to take pictures outside of the house. The replica really likes the original one in Loreto except the wall which looks new. Outside of this church is different from other churches which I have visited before. Maybe, here is Taiwan, so their churches combine with Chinese architecture. I love this place which is quite and peaceful. It is really a good place to do retreat.
 




The House of Mary

Our Lady of Grace Chapel-If you see the cross carefully, actually it is combined together by humans. Sister explained to us that the cross is symbolised  that all humans in this World will walk towards God at the end. In the middle of the God is tabernacle.

Next station, we went to Fenjia. I like Fenjia very much as you can find various food & drinks plus it is a good place for shopping. I thank you to daddy, as he helped us to carry our stuff. We shopped until 12am or later I could not remember. I just remember we almost want to CRIB (complete rest in bed). However, we still able to see the crowd. Maybe, they do not sleep at the night.
12am, people to line up to buy '大肠包小肠'

Thai style prawn cracker. Personally I think it is normal and nothing special. Anyway, not too bad
