[台北.逛]國立政治大學

好吧,讓我來跟大家介紹一下台灣排名前三的大學吧,
從前在看惡作劇之吻的時候我就只知道台大而已,
因為現在我妹要在台灣讀書,我才對台灣的大學有多點了解,
我才知道台灣有過百間大學,台灣本地學生要進前三大其實很難,
幸好香港學生考台灣的大學是排僑生的隊,
就這樣我妹就進了在台北的國立政治大學,去念外交。
政治大學感覺上有點像中大,都是靠山的,
可在交通方面卻沒有中大方便,
要坐咖啡色的文湖線往動物園站再轉公車去,
因為我們拿著很大的行李嘛,所以我們就在動物園站再坐計程車去。


要從市中心,我們住的行天公站到政大其實也要大概一個半小時,一點都不近呢。


但要說遠,其實政大也不是真的很遠啦,怎樣也總比台中台南的今很多啦。
聊著聊著我們就到了政大的正門,
還好我們是坐計程車,要不拿著行李的我們一定會累死跟熱死的,
因為政大跟中大一樣,都是要坐校巴或者是走路走30分鐘上去宿舍的!



這就是我妹在住的“自強九舍”,
看起來挺不錯對吧?
很有那些年的感覺吧?
話說起來,她們每個宿舍的名字都很好笑的好不好,
然後我們就等到我妹出來接我們囉!


有姐妹像嗎?


近一點看。


看到妹妹之後就是我們這一趟台北之旅的重點,
把她的行李運到她的房間裡,
她們的九舍的房間都是4人房,
是有點簡陋啦,但還是蠻大的,重點是至少有空調吧!
但說真的,他們的廁所真的很不行,所以呢,我妹已經再打算下學年搬出去自己租房囉!


把行李放下之後,我妹就帶我們走一下,走下山,
看到這幾棟那麼新的我跟爸都很驚訝,
想不到在這個古舊的校園裡面都會有這麼新的設計呢!


長梯。


我也來一張吧!


舊舊的停車場


這個有很山區的感覺嗎?


如果可以跟Bee在這坐著談情你說有多浪漫呢?



往山下的橋呢


路的邊小黃花


唯美的走廊


我最愛的網球場


這很有秘密花園的感覺!


山下囉!其實也沒有很遠啦!走一下當減肥也不錯呢!
就這樣,我們就結束了我們的政大遊囉!
政大,我可是會再去的噢!

[香港.吃]Sunday Brunch@La Kaffa Coffee

{La Kaffa Coffee}
今天早上我跟Bee特意去了位於沙田第一城的
這家名字很難讀的咖啡店吃Brunch,
我可是有做功課,有看他說這裡的選擇又多又好吃才山長水遠的去沙田吃的!
(當然還有因為這裡離中大蠻近的,我是蠻貼心的女友吧嘿嘿)
他比我們想像中好吃,也比我們想像中受歡迎呢,要找位子可一點也不容易呢!
這裡跟Starbucks一樣,都是要自己找位子,但這裡可比Starbucks更難找呢!
所以雖然要坐在門口,但至少也是有位子嘛,所以我們也照樣坐囉!
這家店可以從我們到達以後都一直有人在排隊,超厲害的!


而且別因為沒聽過而少看這家小小的咖啡店,
原來這家店是從台灣過來的,
現在在香港已經有幾家分店,他們還打算繼續go global呢!
裝潢,選址,服務,食物,飲料,選擇✓,
我跟Bee試過之後,我可是覺得他是真的可以go global呢!


光是說早餐,就有十多種選擇,絕對可以迎合不同人的口味哦!
Menu還很清晰,所有的選擇都一目了然啦!
我可是對他的義大利麵跟下午茶都超有興趣的!
我們可是已經決定了一定會再來囉!


他在飲料方面也下了不少心思,有奶茶,有紅茶,什麼都有呢!
他可是把台灣的街頭飲料文化完全的帶進來了
難得跟餐叫的特飲還有$8的折扣呢!
我當然要試一下吧!


Smoke Salmon Caesar Salad $51 

為了不要增肥,我可是挑了我唯一喜歡的健康食物,
煙三文魚凱撒沙拉,
雖然我覺得好像醬汁有點多,
不過總體來說還算不錯,至少比Dilifrance的好吃多了!
健康之選哦!

All-day Breakfast E2 $98 

這個是我為Bee點的All-day Breakfast,
果然是超大份的,要什麼有什麼,很好吃很新鮮,
還蠻貼心的,有salad做拌菜,balance一點,
我試了口那個Egg Benedict,
地下的muffin很鬆軟,蛋黃的熟度把握的剛剛好,一咬下去蛋汁都出來囉!
推介哦!


他可是很滿足,吃的很撐哦!


差點忘了,
我們點了兩杯特飲,
一杯是薄荷巧克力,一杯是熱情果蘆薈冰紅茶,
兩杯都超好喝的!去的話一定要試一下哦!
♥♥♥

[SG.Travel]Bugis, the Colourful Town

{Bugis}
If you have read my posts on Singapore before,
you should have known that apart from the location,
I did not enjoy much from my last stay in Fragrance Hotel-Imperial.
And that when I mentioned location, the fact that Lavender being very very close to Bugis really was a big bonus.
Bugis was definitely one of my favourite place in Singapore apart from Sentosa and Clark Quay and the food places!


{The Colourful Town}
We took a bus instead of the MTR to Bugis as we somehow wanted to try on Singapore buses.
And thanks God, we did not get lost and arrived at Bugis safely.
As how I named the title of the blog,
I seriously think that Bugis has a lot of colours, much more than the other parts of Singapore,
and of course, hundred times more vibrant and interesting than Hong Kong's skyscrapers.


I was pretty sure the locals would eye me as a tourist at the first sight,
mainly because I was taking pictures of random houses down the street, acting so surprised and excited like nobody else hahaa
But, frankly, I appreciated all these colours so much! 
How I wish I could own a house that painted in my favourite BLUE!
Sometimes I just wish land developers and designers in Hong Kong could think a bit out of the box and add slightly little colour to all the mundane buildings.


Love this turquoise too!
I felt such an urge to move to Singapore at the moment hahaa


Bugis wasn't only colourful, but also artistic and sweet!
As a dessert lover, this painted wall definitely drew me in!


Also, if you have been there before, I am quite certain you would found that Bugis is a place full of stylish cafes with different cool themes.
This one called "Food Coffee Wine Music" was the one I have planned to spend the afternoon with Bee.
I had actually searched this cafe out before departing for Singapore.
However, at that very hot temperature, the indoor seats were all full at the time we passed there. 
And so, we decided to take a picture instead of waiting.
Yet, just seeing from the outside, you could already see the unique style and design this cafe delivered. 
You guys should check this out!


As we didn't get to eat, we proceeded to Hiji Lane.
It is actually a famous tourist spot as well as a place where young local people's place.
It is a long lane with cafes and restaurants, local craft art stores and small local fashion and accessories shops.
Another point about Hiji Lane is that it has a lot of lovely designed houses and decorations around!
How could I not take a picture of this famous Hiji Lane?


Making great use of our selfie stick and tried to avoid the other tourists.
But, I think it was an epic fail hahaa
More photos taken!


My very cute Bee posting being stepped on by a giant feet!


Me and my BLUE door!




Let's end this post by a BIG HEADSHOT of us!
We ♥ Singapore ♥ Hiji Lane



[SG.Travel]Sentosa Luge & Skyride

{Sentosa Luge & Skyride}
This one was extremely fun and worth trying!
It was definitely the most exciting bit of Sentosa I would say, especially for those who can't drive!
(like me)
TRY IT AND YOU WOULD THANK ME FOR SUGGESTING!


This pretty much sums up the whole thing,
Speed & Fun!
Don't get disappointed with the picture where you thought you two would be driving the same car,
the truth was you get to drive your own car!
Fabulous right?


But before you got to the most exciting part,
you have to carry yourself as well as the car all the way over from the bottom starting point to the other side of the slope!
You got to see all the view down there!
And you could hear people scream!!!!


You got to pick your own hemet!
Love the pink one of mine!
So cute!xx
And actually the ride itself was a bit scary, as you got to go through a cable car ride where your foot was left hanging in the air the whole time!
And you didn't need seat belt or anything!
That's the part made you feel somehow nervous about what might happen if it fall hahaa



Another highlight was that throughout the ride,
you could see many flip flops fallen all the way.
So, be smart, take yours off before the ride like what I did!:P


And YESSSS!!
We finally reached the other side and we could start the REAL GAME!!!
Look at the kids!
They were so cute and so ready!


Of course, so as my Babe!
He was so excited to show me how good his driving skills are and so he could tease me!!
But I Don't Mind!
Bring it on!

They would have some coach there to teach you how to function the car and general safety rules.
Don't worry, 
the instruction was fairly simple and easy to follow.
After 2 minutes of lecture, we got to try it out on our own!

Woooooo! 
So exciting!
I got to run!!!!
I didn't know how to describe my feelings in words, but one thing I was sure is that I wanna play twice!
And even though I lost to Bee, I was so happy about the whole ride!
It really felt like you are controlling the car and that if you don't manage it well, you would crash!
  You guys should definitely try this!!!!!!



As I didn't want to give up,
wanted to challenge Bee for another hit,
also to try out the other path,
we decided to purchase another ticket and go again!
Believe me, it's worth trying!;)

[Italy]Day 1/7

{{Day 1/7}}
10/22
意大利之行可是我第一次踏上歐洲這個continent (當然英國不算啦),
也是我在exhange jounery裏面踏出英國的第一站,
我可是超興奮的!
終於可以去吃好吃的!
終於可以不用過著英國日短夜長,又冷,又整天都天陰陰的生活囉!
重點是我還可以走掉一個星期的課噢!多值得高興嘿嘿!


這裏是Manchester Airport T3,
其實Leeds自己也有機場,但是這個時段去意大利BGY的航班裡面就從Manchester出發的便宜,所以我就挑了從Manchester出發,反正從Leeds過去Manchester機場只是一個半小時而已,非常方便。
除了倫敦的Heathrow之外, Manchester 的機場是我第二個到過的英國機場,
他們可是說Manchester 的機場已經是英國機場的第二來啦,
但我覺得香港的比Manchester的還要大很多,完善很多呢!
我好像比想像的時間早到了很多,

所以就在機場裏面逛了蠻久的,雖然裏面的店比香港少很多,
但至少還有咖啡店,化妝品店等等。
有一點這裡跟香港有很大分別的,他不會事先告訴你borading gate number,
一定要過了移民局,等到起飛前30分鐘左右才告訴你,
如果gate number 比較遠的話其實時間還蠻緊迫的,要很留意他的boardcast。

不過沒關係,我的重點不是在機場,而是在離開機場哈哈。


等了很久,逛了很久之後,我終於等到boarding gate number的出現,
終於,我可以離開這個糟糕的天氣一陣子囉!
一個星期後見吧Manchester!
就這樣,我就順利登上了Ryanair前往意大利BGY機場的飛機囉!
BYE DEPRESSING BRITISH WEATHER!!!


HI PERFECT ITALIAN WEATHER!
很興奮!我終於到了意大利的過境囉!
Ciao Milano!
Hello Milan!
米蘭你好!
意大利和英國有一個小時時差,所以感覺上我可是賺了不少時間噢!
到達的時候還是白天的感覺真好!
不過因為我跟我朋友是分開到意大利的,我從英國去,她們從瑞典去,
而我航班降落的時間比她們早蠻多,而且我還比原定的時間早到的關係,
我可是在那邊坐了很久,
把整個機場都看了一遍,
我剛剛說覺得Manchester機場蠻小的,但其實到過BGY之後,我覺得BGY機場才是真正的小,老實說,該說成小得可憐啦!不用10分鐘就能把整個機場走一遍,arrival 跟 departure hall都是同一層呢!
不過,可幸得是,這個小小的機場有免費wifi可以用呢!
我才不至於悶死呢!


我從白天等到黑夜,終於,讓我等到我的美女們出來囉!
太興奮囉!
我們趕上了去Milano Centrale 的旅遊巴,因為走的時候都會是從這邊走的關係,
我們買了一張來回的票,9歐元,比平常單程5歐的便宜1歐噢!
這樣計好像很師奶哈哈。


因為去Milano Centrale也要一個小時左右,
所以我們到那邊的時候已經有點晚,十點多啦,站裏沒有很多人,
聽他們說那麼多意大利的壞話,心裏可真的有點怕,
還好我們最後還是順利回到我們訂好的hostel。


對我這個一直生活在大城市的女生,
在地鐵的電梯裏面看到這個沒有關門的設計就覺得很新鮮,
之前其實已經聽過這個因為歐洲人生活節奏很慢,所以根本不需要有關門的按鈕的故事,
但是這畢竟還是我第一次親眼看見,
真的覺得好神奇,大家如果是要到歐洲旅行的話,可是要好好的留意一下噢!
然後試過這設計的我,
覺得一次半次還可以啦,但是要我一輩子都要活的這麼沒節奏的話,
我想我要不會死掉,要不就是會瘋掉哈哈,
我還是老實的做回我的Big CIty Girl吧!

全靠offline trip advisor加上offline google map,
我們最後很順利的找到這家hostel,
她們倆去買了個外賣回來吃,我不餓,就在做看管,
因為太累的關係,連了wifi,報了平安,聊了一會,梳洗好之後我門就去睡囉!
至於我們在米蘭住的hostel呢,
是其中一個女孩訂的,她是在微博上看到然後選的,
詳情我還是在下個post再說吧!
說著說著,突然間我好懷念跟她們倆一起聊天一起睡的時光呢!
