And it's Day 4 now! Had such a great sleep over at Regent Taipei and waking up to this in the morning! Usually we don't wake up so early one, but we are going to have their hotel breakfast! :D

The view from where I'm sitting!! So nice right omg!!
It somehow makes me feel very calm and peaceful while I'm having my breakfast!!

And then more food!!!!!
Usually I'll be either lazy or too tired to go for hotel breakfast one, cause I confirm cannot wake up so early! Hellooo the hotel bed so comfy what, cannot blame me!!! But luckily I did went for the breakfast provided by Regent Taipei, because the food was pretty good and the staff there is very nice also! Like will bring you to your table and serve you tea/coffee!! Omg I'm really really missing Taiwan so much!!!
![Brasserie regent taipei cakes](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8468/8450358866_7f1f6e578a_b.jpg)
Some pretty cakes as we leave the place and back to our room to laze on our bed hehe!
![typicalben mirror shot regent taipei hotel](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8082/8449273269_7ceb9ae5b9_b.jpg)

![elmo cookie monster umbrella](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8375/8450358694_104b6b9478_b.jpg)
I think I never show you guys before, but check out my cute umbrella!!
Was raining that day (or actually on most of the days when we were there since it's near monsoon season), so we have to carry umbrella in order not to get drench in the rain!! Very troublesome, hate rainy days!!
![typicalbrn with elmo cookie monster umbrella](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8216/8450358308_2a812a63b8_b.jpg)
Me with my act-cute umbrella lol!
![tiamsui station](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8195/8450358426_4abfed9825_b.jpg)
Then we took the metro and arrived at Tamsui!!
![tiamsui station raining](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8357/8450358484_618b15dc10_b.jpg)
We were planning to head over to the Lover's bridge for some chio photo taking but it was raining so heavily when we reached there, that we had to give it a miss! So wasted right!
But we never give up lor, we still hope that the rain will eventually gets lighter or stop so we went to the shopping mall nearby Tamsui but there's nothing much to shop there and when we finished shopping, the rain is still as heavy! Then we decided not to wait anymore and carry on with our plan!!
![typicalben at beitou metro station](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8053/8450358408_8aa6094084_b.jpg)
So we are skipping the Lover's bridge and going to Xin Beitou for hot spring!

The interior design of the metro is also different from the usual one that we always took!!
![Xin Beitou raining](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8475/8449273099_6e48694f37_b.jpg)
Searching and walking over to the place where we gonna soak ourselves in hot spring but it was raining so heavily that it really dampens our mood by alot! Cause our shoes are all wet wtf.
![taipei public hot spring (wen quan)](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8225/8449273465_04ecd4032b_b.jpg)

![taipei public hot springs (wen quan)](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8506/8450358556_8d0c94e72a_b.jpg)

![taipei hot spring (wen quan) private hotel](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8370/8450358660_8536b4baf6_b.jpg)
As the rain was too heavy, we just randomly went to one of the hot spring resort there!
![taipei private hot spring (wen quan)](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8333/8449273457_58a9ecaecb_b.jpg)
We chose the indoor hot spring, which is the private one!
It cost about 1350TWD (SGD $59) for 2 hours!
![typicalben at taiwan hot spring (wen quan)](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8236/8450358398_04bc6aaa4a_b.jpg)
While waiting for the water to be filled up!!
![typicalben randy at taipei hot spring (wen quan)](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8364/8450358172_77222edff2_b.jpg)
Both of us lololol!
We didn't really enjoy the hot spring leh, maybe the resort is not very good or something? Or maybe we are just not used to it. So in the end, we just keep going in and out of the water to take pictures only haha!!! And by the time we finished taking photos right, just nice 2 hours is also up already lor lol!!
![typicalben taipei hot spring (wen quan)](http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8081/8450358292_54da74439a_b.jpg)

Then it's dinner time!!! Went to Tao Ban Wu (陶板屋) for dinner!!
They have this set meal which I forgotten how many courses there is! I think it's either 7/8 course meal and for that it only cost 499TWD (SGD $22)!!! It's really cheap lor, very worth it I feel!!!
