As I have shared earlier on how much the Taiwan mission trip has made a great impact on my walk with God, how I encounter God as I serve in the camp, I guess there will always be a part of me left back in the days of serving in this youth camp. Looking back on these photos will certainly bring me back to the past, and might even be the start of the history of a new generation of future church leaders.
Well...juz sit back and enjoy the ride ya? *wink* =))
Setting off to Taiwan!
From clockwise: Andy Loh, Benny, Me, and Tina
I SEE TAIWAN!!!
Since the Taoyuan International Airport is located in the suburban area, the land below are mainly farmlands, industrial areas and pieces of undeveloped flatland.

Our China Airlines flight...oh well not as bad as I would have thought from my previous experience with this airline...
Welcome to Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport!
The Taiwan airport is not as big as our Changi Airport though...but still rather clean and neat. =)
Nice river view from our hotel room! =D
Once we settled down our stuffs, we immediately gather again and took cab in groups of 4 to the campsite located on top of a hill at Christ's College.
Tina & Me!
The function hall for the P&W and preaching sessions
My first Taiwan bento! =D
Taiwan Metro Map!
We didn't buy the Easypay card (= EzLink), so we juz get the usual one way ticket. Yet in Taiwan, they don't use 'ticket' but a token or coin-like thing to board the train. You just need to scan the coin, like EzLink, on the machine when you enter, and insert the coin to the coin slot when you are exiting from the platform.

The immigration custom area
Taipei!
On our way to our hotel, the surrounding areas from the highway are mostly still undeveloped...well looks just like China though with all the direction and signboards in Chinese.
Our hotel!

The brothers are nice and gentlemen enough to help us unload all our heavy luggages off the coach.

Yet Taiwan meals are not like those in Singapore where we only ate the usual veggie and meat plus rice packed in the styrofoam boxes. In Taiwan, they called these takeaways "bentos" and they can consist of a large variety like dumplings, cold noodles, japnese bentos etc.

Guess where we are going that makes me so happy? =P
It's the SHILIN NIGHT MARKET! =DD
Taiwan is famous for their night markets as you can find the tastiest, hottest, newest, most creative, weirdest,......hot snacks and food in this place! *drool* =D
It is like a larger scale of our own pasar malam as there are stalls selling clothes, bags, shoes ets here at the night market. The difference is that the fashion here is more trendy and the quality of the clothes and accessories are generally higher too...and it's cheaper! =D
My beloved SMELLY BEANCURD! =DD

It is just so tasty and delicious and super duper YUMMY!!! =DDD
Oh well...not everyone will like it though...my dear friend Tina dislikes it as she finds it TOO smelly...hahaha...so anyone dare to try?? =P
Taiwan bubble milk tea is GOOD! =D
I am just glad we have the time on the first night we arrived to go to the Shilin night market to walk around and enjoy all the shopping and the good food. The preparation for the camp is all ready for tomorrow. And we are all prepared to work the OT for the Lord's great work in the Taiwanese youth by then...I am just so excited! =)))
