I'm the first to wake up.. Was feeling real bad and vomited thrice! It's weird since i'm totally fine during my last trip in March except when i got back to Singapore.. But luckily no diarrhea just no appetite.. Therefore i don't have any mood in taking photos for this beautiful room..
Complimentary breakfast's orange juice
Artificial plants
Complimentary breakfast.. The small dish on top is a potato salad with prawn..

After finished our breakfast, we went back to our room for final packing and flag a cab.. Originally we planned to took a cab to ChungLi (ZhongLI) Train Station then transferred a bus to ShiMen Reservoir but the cab driver convince us that it will be faster, convenient and cheaper if we book his cab.. Since we don't want to lug or backpack up and i'm still feeling upset so we took his advice.. According to the meter, its cost us about NT500+ (S$25) to go there..
After reaching ShiMen Reservoir, it turns out quite different from the map i got from the internet.. I thought it will be just sight seeing with hills, mountains and reservoir.. But we are welcomed by a whole street selling snacks, plants, walking sticks, drinks and etc.. Just like a day time night market! We starts off buying mineral waters before we "climb" up the hill.. As i still feeling bad and saw stalls selling plums (Plums increase one's appetite) so i bought some to munch on the way through the steep rock road up to the top.. At times i felt like backing out as its a little cold and i felt weak and sleepy.. BUT it doesn't took long (about 20minute or so) for us to reach uphill..
Halfway uphill..
We realised at the top there is a outdoor "cafe" so we find a table where we can get a good view of the reservoir..
The dam or reservoir is not "working" else the view will be even gorgeous!
We ordered drinks.. Dan and Doggy also ordered a dish and shared among themselves as i got no appetite..
The local calls this as Guan Dong Zhu.. A high dietary fiber dish..
Me feeling sleepy and weak..

After relaxing for a couple of hours, we decided go back down and explore the street and just before we left the outdoor cafe, we make a visit to the unisex toilet.. We saw..
Spider webs and..
Spider on its web~ Hahaha~
Dan and Doggy bought ice cream together with peanut sort of powder, wrapped with thin flour skin (In Singapore, known as popiah skin).. Darn! Again i missed one snack! Doggy make a call to the cab driver to let him know we are ready to leave..
We alighted at TaoYuan Train Station and get our train tickets separately (Doggy going back to TaiPei while Dan and I are going to TaiChung (TaiZhong)).. The train system is pretty messy but we managed to get on board on time and didn't bid a proper goodbye with Doggy..
In order to to ruin the rest of the trip, after we took a cab to the hotel (the map given online is not so reliable too..) and checked in.. We went down to the receptionist and asked whether there is any clinic or hospital nearby.. The friendly manager (i suppose) said there is one round the corner but today is a Sunday so we followed her and went out to check whether it is still open.. The clinic is not open at that time but she said that a hospital within the walking distance and pointed to us the location and even tells us where the main door is..
As a foreigner, i had to pay NT250 (S$12) for registration fee.. Then a nurse asked my condition while putting a pink hospital wraistband on for me and measured my blood pressure..
We waited for about 5minutes, the doctor is young but kinda of weird.. Knew i'm a foreigner but i'm a Chinese and spoke Chinese, he mumble something but as he is wearing a mask i can't hear him properly so he repeat himself: "Your Chinese is quite fluent and accurate" (This is the 3rd or 4th time i heard since March).. I replied: "The Chinese in Singapore knows and can speaks good Chinese".. He asked me about my condition and my last mensuration >.< (Been irregular for a couple of years) and asked me is it possible that i got pregnant.. -.-lll Then said that most probably is my body can't adapt (which from the starts i knew it but i don't know what took him so long to come out with a conclusion (at least 10 minutes)).. He wanted to put me on jab but since i'm not feeling that bad so i declined (as i'm afraid later its will turns out as a drip).. Seriously i'm scared of drip even i did not did it before!
After another 5 minutes or so, he give me a medicine prescription and i spent another NT590 ($S29.50) on consultation, medicines, service charge and tax..
According to itinerary we planned, we are suppose to go to FengJia Night Market but because of my
condition we skipped it and went to 7-11 to buy our dinner.. Dan had instant bowl noodles while i had..
Mini cakes and a packet of Ovaltine (since i got no diarrhea..)
Such a big pack of medicines only cost me NT61(S$3)..
The descriptions are written clearly and even tells us the "side effect" and what food are not to taken with them..
