Hi everyone, here’s my 4th post for the blog assignment :DDD FINALLY!!!!!!! Haha I’m going crazyyyy. Anyway enjoy reading.
During the December holidays, my family and I went to Taiwan for holiday. I have watched shows on Taiwan and have certainly longed to go there!! I was filled with excitement.
On the day of departure, we took a ten o’clock flight. Four hours later, we arrived at the Taoyuan international airport. From there, we took a twenty minute bus ride to the bullet train station. Then we spent another twenty minutes on the train before reaching Taipei. Our first stop was to shop at Xi men ding, one of Taiwan’s most famous shopping area. It was thronged with lots of people and there were many shops there. It certainly lived up to its name of being a famous shopping area. I ended up leaving there with a pair of ‘converse’ sneakers. Furthermore, at the night market which we proceeded to next, I met a Victorian there! What a small world it is!
On the sixth day, we went to nine tribes cultural village theme park. It was my most memorable experience. The first thing that caught my eye on the map was ‘maya adventure’, an outdoor roller coaster ride. Thus my parents and I decided to go to that station first. I saw the ride and found out that it would turn three hundred and sixty degrees. I was exhilarated yet apprehensive. After moments of hesitation, I mustered my courage and decided to give it a try. My parents waited for me below while I climbed a flight of stairs to get to the station. Moments later, the ride had started. It went slow at first while going up a slope, then plummeted at full speed. Screams came from all directions. I opened my eyes at first but closed it later as I thought it would be better that way. Then it came to the part where the roller coaster would turn three hundred and sixty degrees, opposing four point five gravitational force. I felt my whole body turning and let out a scream that could wake the dead from their graves. Before I knew it, the ride was over. I certainly will never forget the thrilling ride.
