Taipei Day 8 - Home Sweet Home

It was our last day in Taiwan. We slept in, took our time, did last minute packing and lazed around before we ventured out. There weren't much to be done and we were hoping to some last minute shopping done at the Taipei Main Station Underground Shopping streets.

Unfortunately, most of the shops were not opened until almost 11am. Eventually, we managed to grab new shoes for the kids and we have happy kids. Daddy Lim was the only one who didn't manage to buy anything in Taiwan. Daddy Lim has expensive taste lah. Atas de. Hehe.

The taxi picked us up at 12.30pm and we arrived at the airport on time. Checking in and immigration were easy breezy. We had lunch and was waiting to board the plane. 

Scoot wasn't too trustworthy this time. Boarding time was delayed by 30 mins and the flight took off one hour late. Additionally, the Scoot TV that I bought didn't work and the kids were no doubt very bored. I didn't expect Scoot TV to fail us and hadn't downloaded sufficient games. Must make a mental note to be prepared the next time we take Scoot. Luckily, Lil Isaac napped shortly after the plane took off and he napped for a good 3 hours. At certain point, I wonder if he had fainted. Lol. Lil Shauna self entertained with a combination of art and craft, activity book and games. It wasn't too tough to entertain the boy after he woke up and we landed not too long later. I also realised the benefit of flight mode and how our iPad and mobile phones can be switched on throughout the flight.

The flight went fine except for some turbulences. We had some food as well and were so glad that they accept credit cards. We were that cash poor. The flight landed safely at 9pm and we ran for dinner after we cleared the immigration.

It was a long day and we didn't arrive home until about 11.30pm. Lil Shauna fell asleep in the taxi while Lil Isaac was very active and chatty. It was already 1am by the time I was done unpacking and was tucking the boy to bed. Jiejie was in lala land a long time back.

Overall, it was a nice trip. The weather though rainy, had been cool and nice. The duration was just nice. Any longer and Popo and I might craw at each other's neck. I also couldn't be gladder that the 2 Popos got along so well. Our Popo was happy with all her food purchases and I am glad that I had bought enuff kgs to bring all the purchases back. So, keep calm and start planning for the next holiday. Muahahahaha.
