Kaohsiung Hotel Review: Kindness Hotel Kaohsiung Jueming

Restaurant:

It was a cozy dining area, furnished with marbled tables. I had the best experience in this hotel out of all 5 hotels I've been to during this trip. Firstly, the food was great.

(+) Secondly, I liked how the hotel provided us with free shampoo/body oil/ conditioner. Females and Males. As you can see from the picture above, my poor shampoo was left behind by yours truly. How careless of me to leave it behind only to realise it's gone 2 days later, and that I took THIS PICTURE before I LEFT the hotel. It's right at the centre of the picture and I still missed it. It still bugs me that I left it there. Meh.

Thirdly, (+) Comfy beds. Haha, I know you'll be judging me like,"Omg this room is so messy" Yup that's right, if you put 3 teens together in a room, that's what you get. Haha. This picture was taken when we were about to leave the hotel. I couldn't bear to leave this cozy place ya know :(

Fourth, (+) Complementary soybean ice cream at the lobby is so good!!! You can choose to get the cone or the cup at the right side. Somehow, I did not take pictures of the complementary cakes on the left side of this picture. The selection of the free cakes is no joke, everything looks damn yummy! There were flavours like tiramisu, choc, etc! I wanted to eat like a lot, but my tummy was already filled with street food. T.T

Fifth, (+) The location of the hotel makes it convenient to get food! It's of a walking distance to Liu Fu Night Market.

Sixth, (+) The hotel staff's service was excellent, they were really friendly and warm to the guests.

We kinda clogged up the toilet bowl haha and the problem was solved after making a call down to the concierge.

The only thing that can be better/improved on was the wifi connectivity. It could have been stronger, but I was okay with it since I got myself a SIM card and I had 3G. :) Otherwise, this hotel is amazing. For the price, location, and service, I'd recommend it if you were to visit KaoHsiung in Taiwan.

P/s All opinions are genuine by me and I'm not sponsored in any way. If I'm sponsored I would travel around the world more often. But no, still a broke student. 

Taiwan 2015 Day 1: 9 December 2015

Hello there! I've recently travelled to Taiwan with 2 of my cousins and their parents during the dec break. It was overall a great experience with all the food and scenic locations. Without boring you too much with words, I shall post many pictures together with captions of the places I'd visited.

Mandatory mirror-fie at Changi Airport!

Look at our shiny foreheads and eggcited faces!

The flight journey was a long and boring one, since we opted for budget airline. Right after landing at Taoyuan Int'l Airport, we met our taxi driver, Mr Lin. (who drove us around for the next few days). It was another long drive to Kaohsiung, we took approximately 3-4 hours? It was so tiring after the flight yet we couldn't take a rest and went to E-da World (義大遊樂世界) themepark. There were a few amazing rides but it was rather run-down. I felt that the concept of the themepark was a little boring since I've been to other amazing themeparks in US and Seoul. 

Our driver hehe

Cousins shot while the adults head somewhere else

Look at how awk the poses were hahahah

This ride was like the best omg. So much pressure when we flipped mid-air, and it was so high. I actually drooled, I wasn't alone hahah. Just hoped that my saliva did not land onto someone else's head. Gross. Anyway, we had to stay up in the air for 1 minute. Waited 1 hour for this ride. MEH. But worth it for the thrill haha.

Shot of Naomi and I before taking a fume ride.

Mango shaved ice, matcha red bean, tangyuan with red bean.

After a few hours at the themepark, we decided to chill and ate shaved ice in the mall near the amusement park. Man, it was so goodddddddd & cheap! Way better than the dessert in Singapore. Like Bingsu and llaollao. Overrated hahaha. 

After that, we went to check into Kindness Hotel (I swear their service is top-notch, review of this hotel can be found here.) We rested for a while before heading to Liu He Night Market.( 六合夜市). 

I shall let pictures do the talking.

Ended day 1 with amazing street food, and tried smelly tofu for the first time in my life! Not as bad as it smells, but I'm not very fond of it hahah. I guess it's something new and foreign to me.
