Two Rooms

Still on Thu 8 Nov 2018 Day 3 in Taipei - 6.30 pm - the free for all snacks in the hotel common room.

The hotel common room with free flow self service coffee machine and free for all snacks which are replenished daily.

This was room 1 - the entrance is facing the entrance of the bathroom.

Frosted glass sliding doors for the bathroom.

With windows and mirror.

Two double beds because there were 4 of us.

Basic but clean room.

Each bed has its own bedside unit.

This is how the entrance to almost all buildings in Taipei looks like - with a counter where the security guard sits at. He sits so low that only the top of his head can be seen in this photo.

This is the room that we checked in to rest for just a few hours from 3.30 pm to 9.30 pm but I think we pay the full price for the use of this room.

A smaller room.

With just one big bed. Bye bye room at 9.20 pm.

The check in and check out counter. An old fashion weighing machine to weigh luggage. So we took the MRT to the airport and just sit and rest on the chairs in the airport until boarding our flight back home in the wee hours.

Fri 9 Nov 2018 - 12.30 noon - back and waiting for luggage. Home sweet home and bye forever Taipei!

10.40 am - my portion of takeaway breakfast from a nearby coffee shop - wanton noodles with siew yuk with green chilies. I bought a big portion at MYR 8.50 nett for 2 pax sharing and we just eat directly from the plastic bag.

11 am - continue to eat half of this chee cheong fun (1 roll, 2 slices ccf) with 1 slice of bean curd sheet and 1 okra stuffed with fish paste (ytf). I asked for the brown sauce to be poured directly onto the chee cheong fun because I intended to eat this ccf immediately when back home and I did not want another bag with brown sauce. Two of us shared this pack of ccf that costs MYR 5.50 nett. We also bought century egg, salted egg and minced meat congee for 1 pax for lunch.

Still not comfortable dining in coffee shops seeing that some countries had to lock down certain areas again so had to continue to buy takeaways and continue to practise the 3Cs - avoid crowded places, avoid confined places (go open air places) and avoid close conversations; and 3Ws - wash hands with soap, wear masks and warn oneself to do the following: don't touch other people (no handshakes), cover mouth when cough or sneeze, clean and disinfect common places, stay home as much as possible and seek treatment if one has symptoms.

6.30 pm - my portion of congee.

7 pm - a bowl of home cooked red bean tong sui with 90% red beans and 10% water so it is like eating red bean paste which I like.
