- it's a happy day and i soooo thank god for the fab weather -

yesterday was a marvelous day in taipei ... it is cold but it's not raining ... best time to go out ... cheribee, farfar, papa d and i decided to go to madame chiang kai-shek's residence (http://th.gio.gov.tw/show.cfm?news_id=5746) near shihlin station ... the place is actually the family garden ... well, it's a very big park for me! i like ... and it's a stellar place to visit on a good-weather-day ... like yesterday ... some pictures courtesy of cheribee -> http://www.flickr.com/photos/santos1978/tags/xinbeitoutaipei/

it was also a great day to hit the hot springs .... no pictures from there ... but here are some info from wikipedia - http://wikitravel.org/en/Beitou ... we went to beauty age hotel ... their 1-hour private room with hot tub is not so bad ... at 250NT per person ... no free towels, though ... and no showers in the room - just sink, faucet at tabo ... you also have to fill the tub yourself ... pero pede na din ... when visiting, it's a very good idea to bring some wine (don't forget the cork opener!) and muchies ... di ba nu, cheribee?
