DAY 1: arrival and shihlin market

left singapore around 1pm for the 5 hours flight to taiwan.

bought 2 white bittergourd drinks which my dad finished... very very bitter (on right most). eeks. the other one is a kids favourite (some kinda milk, can't remember name, on left most - i like!) and a ai yu drink (middle - sour but not too bad).
