It's the day to Taichung~ after careful planning!

早上從礁溪搭葛瑪蘭客運到台北車站~ 大約45分鐘吧。還沒好好拍張車票前，就被撕了~





到了台北車站，轉換巴士到台中。我們選了和新，一人NT140，車程約2-2.5個鐘頭。看看座位，位子寬暢，舒服。原本想搭高铁，但会比较贵，所以，也没差，因为巴士座位好舒服，就在巴士上睡满2 hours，刚好抵达朝马站。
*If you are taking a bus to Taichung, it will definitely stop at Cao Ma and there are no transport other than taxi and scooter. Unless you know your way in Taichung, you may try taking the bus, otherwise, Cao Ma and Taichung Train Station are actually at 2 different end. So remember to check the area of your hotel/ 民宿, then decide whether to take a bus or train. If you are booking hotels, which are usually more or less within the same area, near the city, it will be more advisable to take a train or you have to ensure the bus gets you to another bus station, which is known as Gan Cheng/ Ren You (干城站/仁友车站), to be able to get around the city easier. 

For us, we booked a room at the J&I逢甲美宿館 after looking at the room photo that my friend sent (in fact its just about the cute wall) as well as the appearance of the room that was reflected in the website. So of coz, I am looking forward to it.

You can check out this place if you are going Taichung:-

Address: 台中市西屯區西屯路二段湳子巷9-11號 (this is just at the junction after you turn in at the corner)




I can't deny that I was being attracted to the cute picture on the wall that makes me want to book a room here but after seeing the room, I am glad that it was only available for 1 night and I am able to book a room at another place. The room wasn't really that nice as it appear and I believe it's the picture on the wall that attract people in to book a room. 
*First impression yet wrong 



Also, feel that there is no need for the computer (or maybe some might need). However placing the computer table just right outside the toilet door and right after you enter the room, it is definitely wrong! Just take a few steps and you reached the computer table as well as the toilet... and on the other end, it seems more spacious as compare to the packed corner near the door. But it's only for one night, so just live with it.

Address: No.111, Sec. 2, Shuangshi Rd., North Dist., Taichung City 404, Taiwan (R.O.C.)

Other than the old train cabin parked outside the restaurant, the theme of the restaurant gives us the feel that we had traveled back to 50s-60s, the old era of Taichung, with the different settings and all the theater posters, not forgetting that the menu was simply just like an old school textbook. An interesting place with reasonable prices. Do drop by if you ever visit Taichung.

And not forgetting photo shoot around the place :)


The iconic Banana boy ... doesn't my boy look like him? especially the mouth? haha


The old train outside the restaurant. Bring you back to the older days~





Milkshakes over here were not bad. More popular choices are Green Bean, Papaya and Banana. Many were queuing for this, so do we.
haha... follow the crowd.
