Wanted to go to a quite few places but Dear wanted to take it easy and spend the time shopping! =( Anyways, we went up to Xinbeitou to the Hot Springs area. Around that area, there are lots of hot spring resorts and even a public hot spring pool! We went to Broadway Hot Spring resort which is like a hotel but also have rooms for rent with a hot spring bath for soaking! You could just sit and relax while looking at the beautiful view outside!
The water that comes out from the tap is hot spring water which was very hot! We took some time to get used to the temperature. But after that, it was very relaxing and the water is reportedly good for your skin! Apparently you can lose weight too! We were perspiring after a while! When we came out to take a shower, we felt dizzy! But our skin was very smooth!

After that, we indulged in KFC! They had a yummy burger somewhat like a cordon bleu - patty with cheese within the patty. Yummy! Then off to Ximending to check it out! The place was abuzz with lots of young people! We tried the very popular Ah Zhong Mian Xian which was really value-for-money, less than $2 for a small bowl. The shops at Ximending are more branded and thus also more expensive. We didn't really get much stuff around here.
One of the restaurants we wanted to check out was the Modern Toilet Restaurant which has toilet bowls, and food in various digesting shapes! The food isn't great but the concept was different and fun! Really wonder how they thought of something like that! I was trying to quickly finish my food cos I couldn't really stomach the thought of eating from a toilet bowl!
We ended the day by going to Shilin for the very last time! I must say that the Taiwanese are very frenly especially the salespeople. Somehow they all could tell we were from Singapore! They are quite chatty and after you try out the clothes, they will sprout off fashion commentary! Hee! We also wanted to try some street snacks for the last time but didn't have much space left to eat. Think we have very small appetite. I have read blogs of others who visited Taiwan and they eat lots! We tried the Coffin Bread, there aren't many stores selling this food item anymore, only spotted one store. Not too bad… then it was time to say goodbye to Shilin since it was our last night here at Taiwan!
