Its aerodynamic head. actually we found out from this aunty in Kaohsiung, if you don't book allocated seats, meaning free seating ones, the prices are cheaper. We paid abt SGD 60 each for ours. 
Back in Taipei and broke. Made one last attempt at the Taipei Underground Mall, but I didn't buy anything. Most of the nicer designs were gone since the last time we went. but still cheap! can still find stuff if you look carefully :) Saw this touristy place in our attempt to walk from Taipei Main station back to Ximen. Met this group of students who wanted our receipts for an environmentally-friendly project, I couldn't understand so I dropped NT10 into their box. They looked stunned and fished out the money for me.
Taipei 101 at night, we made one last dash to ShiDa night market, near a Taipei University. I liked the atmosphere there, a lot of students on a friday night, shopping, eating and doing demonstrations. The stuff here is quite nice too, got bags at NT200! (sgd less than 10) but because we were broke, we couldn't buy much. Bought a lobster flavoured and a sesame chicken flavoured one for supper. Regretting why I didn't buy the sesame one, think my mum would have liked it. haha!
Next morning, I spent my time watching Mean Girls in the room and because we didn't draw the curtains open, I didn't realise how late it was until the reception lady called to remind us about check out before 12 noon. Managed to bargain for extra 3o mins to pack up, wah we moved extra fast..
After we deposited our barang-barang, made one last dash at Ximending, ate Ah zhong mian xian again, still prefered it when we ate it at shilin, when it was chilly and freezing. Eating it on the hot day, wasn't really v enjoyable. Returned back to the hotel lobby, I attempted to repack my hand carry (again!) then we took the freego bus to the airport. luckily we met this couple we met earlier at hualien and gave us a hand with our luggage, which is simply uncontrollable by this time. Haha.
Home sweet home!
