Taiwan ~ Day 9 & 10 ~ Taipei

Oh yeah... 
Finally done with my Taiwan post... Will work harder on my Europe blog...

Taiwan ~ Day 9
First time I misses my home so much while travelling...

Today kinda special..
Going to have our breakie at Starbucks Taipei 101.. 
A berry special experience...
Especially when you didn't want to spend TWD400 just to go all the up to Taipei101 but you still wanna see the whole view!

Started our morning real early despite a long day yesterday...
Second last day le... CHONG AR!

Totally release himself after all the long stressful day...
This Hubb tricked every single us by clapping 2x and the guy in the picture actually open his eye... 
We actually believe it...
Well, it's actually timed...
Anyway... we had a shocked and good laugh after that.. Well... it helps loosing some nerves...
Reached! Taipei 101
Now we have to find the correct entrance to get it..
WE have to find it ourselves as only the people work in this building knows where the Starbucks located... There isn't any sign to show where is it, nor it named on the directory, so it simply show how important to GOOGLE it before you traveled... Yes.. this is how we got to noe this place too...
Woo...
The wind was so huge today... that I can't even took any photos with the LOVE.. hahaha
yeah! Found...

Yes... You have to get your visitor pass from this visitor access kiosk..
**Some visitors may required to make a reservation one day in advance, so you may wanna call up first before making yr trip down or you can get the hotel staff to make a call for you too.. For us, it kinda lucky that we dun have to... **
Kinda tricky as It's all in Chinese... 

You are requires to key in 35F and select Starbucks. From here, it will put you through the line where someone from Starbucks will answer. You will need to tell them the number of people with you. Then, they will issue the access pass for the number of people together.. 1 pass 1 entry.. Seem easy but not easy.. as the line will suddenly disconnected or too busy no-one pick up but DUN give it up... Just keep dialing and dailing..
(hahaha... yes this is what Hubb did... Our first call actually goes through but as it all in chinese, Hubb clicked on the wrong instruction so we had to re-dail again... not so easy on our second try... SOB...! )
Da-tang!
Like Finally... *_*
Up we go to Level 35
Just have to look out the Starbucks sign outside!

This is the view from Starbucks level 35..
To mi.. this is enough!
(Psst: Indeed, I went up to Taipei 101 before and to mi, both are equally nice so y not save $$ on the entry fee for a cup of Starbucks coffee and a cake)
Please note that every guest is required to buy at least a drink and stay no longer than 90 mins of meal time..

While waiting for our coffee and bread to be ready!
Greedy both of us!
Tourist shot...! I dun care..
LOL
After breakfast, Hubb and I went separate way..
Hubb brought his father, brother and gf to buy pineapple tarts from Sunnyhills

微熱山丘鳳梨酥

While I brought my MIL and Xiaogugu to OrangeBear TW, where they sell plus size clothings..
I always lost myself there with so many choices!
but seem like only I enjoy myself..
Whoopz...!
Just myself, I bought 5pcs of dresses and a jean for less than NT1800 which is like S$75++
You still can try, why not right..
Spend like 2hrs there (totally not enough at all!!!!!!) and got to leave for Mr J as Hubb all are waiting there for us (okay... waiting for mi...)
