Day 1 @ 台南市

Last weekend our singapore gang went to 台南 to explore...finally went to travel outside 高雄...and we went there by train...excited...although I was not the firs time taking 火車. We woke up very early on sat morning as we want to reach 台南 early so that we can travel to more places. So we meet and set off to 火車站at 8am. Then ah gong (JL ) joined us to the trip...he finally can take off hehez...and surprisingly he reached the train station very early, lucky he nv bang seh us haha... and then we board the train...

the journey to 台南 is only about 45 mins...very fast...everyone was zzzing becoz wake up too early...

our first stop is 赤崁樓, which is near to our hotel. It is one of those famous historical places in 台南市(一級古蹟). This building is left behind by the Holland when 鄭成功(民國英雄) chased them away...and I will not say the details here ...too lazy haha...can check the internet...we were like statue sitting on the rocks haha..花瓶門... There are also different buildings inside...eg..廟、院、閣、祠、殿等各種不同建築雜陳的展示.

after that we took bus to 安平古堡...quite rush becoz it closes at 5pm and we reach there 3 plus...這也是一級古蹟...(btw all these places need entrance fee..but we paid half price with student ID).Acutally there is not much to see so just take few pics there... then on the exit the whole stretch of the street are selling 小吃, tibits, and many other stalls, just like night markets...n we shop along the street haha. then we had dinner at a shop selling 蝦卷...think it is quite famous as many pple were dinner there...n is really veri nice..
