Taiwan'17 - MUNA Hostel


On my first night in Hualien, we decided to stay in a better hostel, nearer to the Hualien station, as the transportation is not as accessible as Taipei's. Thus, we chose MUNA out of the different hotels / hostels there are in Hualien. 


It cost NT$1800, per night, which adds up to S$41 per person. I ain't sure if it is worth the price, but, I shall say, it is really convenient and comfortable. It is opened by a couple (Boyfriend and Girlfriend), who were travelling to Japan on the day we check out. 

Free coffee, anytime of the day.

 The price comes with breakfast, so me and jasmine ordered set A, which is pork chop egg hamburger + 2 hotdogs + 1 drink (Black Tea / Milk Tea / Soya Milk / Orange Juice). And it is delivered to us at our specified timing, the next morning. 
Breakfast in bed.

Located at 國民三街, it is accessible via walking, and we can reach in 10 minutes from Hualien Station. If you manage to avoid drivers who approach you for tours to Taroko.

The room we have, is a double room, and my first reaction to it is: WHITE BEDSHEEEEETSSSS !!! I've always wanted white bedsheets, but, boy, its going to be difficult to maintain back at home. 




Don't this makes you feel like travelling the world?
It comes with tea. And boy, I forgot to buy tea before leaving Taiwan. 
So here are the photos around the hostel.  

We stayed at A1.
Their levels, goes by A B C instead of Level 1, 2, 3

The library that never opens throughout the 2 days we were in Hualien


On day 1, we were looking for lunch, and chance upon this 早餐店, and the food is really yummy. It is located just by the street.

All in all, I find that the staffs of MUNA is really very nice, especially when we asked for directions and where to go at Taroko on day 1.  Also, a chat before our high speed rail on day 2. I will definitely recommend staying in MUNA Hostel.

However, given another opportunity to go back to Hualien, I definitely would like to try other lodging choices, as part of experiencing different options available.

7D6N Taiwan Budget Trip Summary :S$591 all-in

Image
Note : Feel free to post any questions at ngelean@gmail.com So recently, I've been back from a 7 Days 6 Night Budget trip to Taiwan, and here is my summary for the trip.  Taiwan is somewhere which I've always wanted to travel to for the past 5 years.  It was firstly due to the influence of Taiwanese reality programs and dramas, then me knowing people from Taiwan, then working in a Taiwanese store.... And lastly, it was an impulse, booking the ticket during scoot sales which happens 7-9am everyday Tuesday, which happens to be this trip. As I've always been taking red-eye flights most of the time, we also chose red-eye flight for our trip to Taiwan, so we can spend more time there, while saving up on lodging and transportation (taxi). Realising we are quite strapped for cash after purchasing my air ticket, I asked my friend, why not lets do a budget trip and see how much we can save! This is my first time to Taiwan, and I really want to spend time in Taipei. We decid

Review - Hada Labo Super Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizing Lotion

Hello people! Don't you find it confusing with so many products on the shelves once you enter stores like Watsons, Guardian or even supermarket? It is also quite a hassle to look for something that really moisturize  your skin ! Wells, I've used a number of moisturizer previously and yet, people will still tell me "your face is so dry" and my skin will flake like as if it is going to snow anytime soon. It was then, I decided to give a try on this, few weeks after watching the advertisement on TV. I can't find it on youtube, but this is similar to the one I saw, just different language. Yes, its said to be a lotion , but do you know that it is actually a toner ? Japanese calls it a lotion , so don't get tricked like I do. Credits: Hada Labo FB So, what is Hada Labo? It stands for Perfect X Simple . It has a range of products that allows you to bring beauty back to the basics of perfect, simple and confident. You can know more about the bran

Taiwan'17 - Seven Star Lake (Qi Xing Tan) 七星潭

Image
Panoramic Shot, click to view  Walked to the Hualien Station, to board the Hualien Bus which we used for our Taroko trip. It is only one stop away, and it costs NT$24 one way (NT$48 for both) I've always loved the sea. Qi Xing Tan is a pebbled beach located at the pacific ocean. It another must-go for me when I chose to visit Hualien for this trip.  There are shops at the back of lorries, that sells local delights like 烤地瓜 and drinks, for a pretty affordable price. I mean, as compared to what we see at shops near the beaches, in other beaches. I shall let the photos do the talking since picture speaks a thousand words. Geddit geddit? >_< Pebbled ground. Blue sea. Clear Skies. Perfect. Helped graduating students to take photo of them in graduation gowns in exchange for our photo After visiting Qi Xing Tan we went around Hualien Station, before collecting our luggages, to proceed back to Taipei.
