家有喜事

Day 2, Sat 25 Oct

We took the bullet train to Taizhong - Sun Moon Lake, this is my first time taking bullet train, the experience is quite good compared to the train taking to Ruifang previously. The seats are much comfortable and the journey is less than an hour. This is my secound time to Sun Moon Lake, its still the same after all, except the weather is much better than the previous and I also managed to take more of the Lake's views at this round. We still to take another 2 hours car ride at the bullet train station to reach Sun Moon Lake. At night, we went to Party World to sing, the room and sound is much better ya.
