Taoyuan to Taichung

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are glad to inform you that we are 30 minutes ahead of our schedule. We will be landing in approximately 5 minutes..."

That was a piece of good news for us as we were arriving early at Taipei. We were so anxious to get off the plane and board the HSR to Taichung to kick off our holiday. At the same time, we were feeling tired and hungry, especially Juliana whom did not really sleep well in flight. After the plane landed, we could feel the cold weather in Taipei as we stepped out of the plane. It was just 16 deg C in that early morning.

Something seemed to have gone terribly wrong as we waited for about 20 minutes to get our luggage. The waiting time was compensated by the early arrival. We were deemed to miss our schedule when there was a  long queue to purchase the shuttle bus tickets to the HSR.(Ubus no. 705, NT30 each)




The bus ride from the airport to the HSR was about 20 minutes and the bus was extremely cold! It seemed that the bus did not have a heater function in it. Once we reached Taoyuan HSR station, we found ourselves in the QUEUE yet again and this time was for purchasing the HSR tickets. As we were going to Taichung, each ticket costs about NT540.



After acquiring the HSR tickets and breakfast, we were just 45 minutes away from Taichung to meet up with Elmo and Mich.
