If you have lived in Taipei, Taiwan for more than 8 years, you'd know that the weather here is almost as erratic as a woman!! I used to believe the reverse of yahoo.com weather on Taipei...
So, it was another sun/no sun day in Taipei, i dun have to work on wednesdays so i try to take lil B somewhere every wed. And my mama was still in Taipei and she has asked bout the Maokong Gondolas so off to the Gondolas we went... Coincidentally, the Gertens were also planning a trip there!!
The ride cost $50NTD and you can pay for the ride with your 'yo yo card', yep! The transportation system in Taiwan is convenient and cheap!! (thumbs up) It's bout a 20 mins ride to the Maokong stop.
The Gertens arrived and we headed off to a teahouse, we decided on a different teahouse this time, one without anyone to complain about the noise from the kids!! ;) The adventurous lil boys decided to stop at a 'tea plantation' and climb up the lil hill to pick and smell some tea leaves!!
A small bag of tea cost $300-$350NTD and it cost an additional $100ntd per person to have tea at the teahouse.
The sights at the teahouse were spectacular!! we could see the gondola, the temple, the very different fruit and vegetables planted in Maokong, definitely a great way to spend a 'beautiful' wednesday afternoon!!
