So, I got up at 2:30am, went out to catch the airport bus at 3am, Mom insisted to come along. Got to HKIA at 4am, ate a free breakfast, CX paid for it. Said goodbye to Mom at 4:30am, got through security, usual stuff. Got to the gate at 5am, just in time for boarding. In-flight breakfast sucked, early morning flight sucked more. Didn't get any sleep. Grumpy. Landed at 7am.
Terrible weather, the Taoyuen Airport>Taichung bus got in very late, got on at 9:20am, and it's supposed to be a 8:30am bus.
Got to Taichung at 11:30am. The weather was even worse there, shitty heavy rain.
By the time got on the local bus to Taichung Hostel, I was already soaking wet. I'd spare you the hideous details how I found the hostel. In short, got lost a bit. It's already 1:30pm when I got there.
Spent 8 hours wandering around the city in pouring rain. My umbrella started dripping above me after a hour or 2.
Checked out the shopping district. Went to a famous night market, only a few shops opened, ate some local food. Kinda finished the routine tourist thing.
Getting back to the hostel from the night market was another hideous journey.
Summary for my 1st day in Taichung: MISERABLE.
Dispite all that, I still think it's a pretty nice city.
