Today as I said earlier, I went to pay a visit to my relative's house in.. somewhere in Zhong He area. At first I was so lazy to go, especially the weather was cold with a little rain..
Anyways, I still made it. I took the bus from my place to Taipei Main Station, to change the bus since there's [so far I know] no direct bus to go there. At Taipei Main Station, I was confused by the so-many-bus lines and I didn't bother to ask someone since I can't even spell the words correctly and I forgot how the name is written in Chinese. [something to learn-]. Well, I did actually ask a girl and she also didn't know. But that I guess, because of she's not familiar with Taipei area. So then I decided to take MRT to the place where I got down from the bus, last time when I went there. That's at Gongguan station.
Fast forwarded, I managed to take the bus [254] and felt good about it. Finally!
Nevertheless, it didn't end there, I missed the station which I was supposed to get down at. Arghh, I didn't know that the station has 2 names (I guess). So there I was, had to walk from the 2 stations ahead. Well, new experience for me.
No matter what, I did have a good time there. Having family here is somehow a blessing for me.
Anyways, on the way home. aha!
I took the bus [262] which goes directly to Taipei Main Station. Was just told about it. I knew it reached Taipei MS, but I didn't know where it'd stop exactly. Actually I could just get down at the Post Office station and walk about 5 mins to reach the bus station where I can take the bus to go home [513]. However, I chose not to stop, instead, to continue being in the bus and see where is the next stop. But it stopped even further, about 10 mins away from the 513 bus station. -_-" Another exercise.
Reaching the 513 bus station, I (with confidence) simply took the 835 bus since it's also going to Xinzhuang [place where I live] and I just asked the driver if he was going to Xinzhuang [without any details where about at Xinzhuang] and he said YES. Driving until DaZhong temple [just ONE station before my place!] it turned right! Oh, I started to feel not good about it, but I still hoped that it somehow would turn to/near to my place. Was waiting and waiting, til it really far away from Xinzhuang [well, about 15 driving]. So then only I decided to ask the driver. And ta da, I really took the wrong bus, it didn't go to my place, only passing the road behind. So I got down in an area where there's only a few shops and opposite the road is just field, a huge field, and there where I was waiting for the bus to take me home ;(. It was raining + cold + a bit scary with a lil bit dark, plus the empty field behind. What a complete setting.. haha.
Anyways, waited for around 20 mins til I finally got the bus which at least going to the road nearby my place. So I took it and got down at the nearest station to my house. I was walking for about 15 mins til I saw a Sport shop. And you know what? I got myself a brand new running shoes! with price comparately cheaper than my initial budget and plan to get such kinda shoes at the shop nearby my house. And the good thing also, I like this model way more than the one that I first planned to buy. Haha.. I am h.a.p.p.y. Especially after spending more $$ on the bus.. ;(
There's always something good behind everything happens.. ^^,
