Taiwan Yilan - Minsu

Minsu, in other words, is bed and breakfast.

Ah, this is my favourite!

Pictures!!!

minsu

《設計師的家》is one of the most popular Minsus around in taiwan. It's located in Yilan, just probably an hour or so car ride from taipei itself.

And if you're a big fan of taiwanese idol dramas, then this minsu, you should find it pretty familiar.

minsu-4

From the facade, it's a very modern, sophisticated looking building. oh, it is. haha

minsu-2

the side of the porch. Sit there, drink coffee, chit chat with you travelling buddies. ah~~ life is good! :)

view from a room, isn't the view itself a worthwhile stay at this place? I love it when you're away from the city, and really come close to nature. The padi fields, the blue sky....

then then... what about the interior?

my friend at one of the rooms' balcony. WOW to the skies behind her. heh

did i mention the minsu provides breakfast as well?
breakfast-2
some of the stuff are made by the lady boss or grown in their backyard, i.e. the tomatoes. and it's not just nice looking, it's really enjoyable eating their breakfast.

btw, it was just about 7 of us during that staycation, we had the whole minsu to ourselves. ultimate shiokness! *dance*

breakfast
i particularly love the soya bean drink (豆漿嗎?)which the lady boss made it herself, how did she do it? *shrugs.. i don't know....*

i seriously don't know why, i didn't take a single shot of the room. *sigh* and none of friends did so tooo... but i did take video of it, lemme edit it and post it up sooooon. (you know about procrastination, don't ya?)

oh yes, Wu Chun (吳尊)from the taiwanese boyband (are they still considered boyband? more like manband) Fahrenheit (飛輪海)stayed in this room while shooting 《花樣少年少女》with S.H.E's Ella. so he kinda 'signed' in that room.

the rooms are really comfy, they provide the showering paraphernalias etc. okay, i need to get the video up, so you guys can see for yourself.

they grow watermelons too! should have stolen one, bring it back and make watermelon juices for ourselves! *evil thought* okay, stealing is not right.

one last photo for this post

i think this picture is beautifully taken. hahaha, not cos it's me! but, the simple pleasure of just cycling through the padi fields. My friend took it while she was in the Minsu, and me cycling.

oh, they do provide bikes for you to cycle round the area.

Ratings: 5/5

I really think this whole place is worth the place. Com'on the view itself is just fantastic, beautiful has become an understatement to describe the whole place.


I hear your thoughts, I wanna go tooooo!!! then go lar! =P

Giving up your seat

Photobucket

I was really angry at how young people these days just refuse to give up their seats to those who really need it. Just like today, it was evening and the train ain't that packed.

on the priority seat sat a uni student, listening to ipod, reading to her god-knows-what textbook. (so hardwork, as if!) next to her is a young working adult sms-ing. so there stood a old woman, having bags in her hands. I was playing games on my phone, standing. So i just looked and wondering when will these 2 young people give up their seat for the poor old lady in front of them. Apparently, after a few stations. Both of them were still happily on their seats, oblivious to the old woman!

*&($)#* !!! (my OS) then i asked the old woman LOUDLY:(conversation is all in chinese)

me: Auntie, where are you alighting?

old woman: Boon lay (btw, we are still at commonwealth station, so it's still a distance to boon lay station)

me: your leg is in pain? (seems so to me)

old woman: yar, i just came back from seeing the doctor

me: oh... how come young people don't give up their seats for you?

Now now... it's so loud, i'm sure the working adult should hav heard it. Her face CHANGED... so young working adult, you heard it loud and clear and why the heck is your arse still on the seat??!!!

I've always think that it's common sense, and basic knowledge to give up seats to those who need it more than you do.

anyways, the old woman got her seat when somebody else where stood up to alight.

Now, next time if i see such things, i'll just go up to the person and simply ask if it's alright to give up a seat to somebody who needs it more than he/she does.

Never be pai say about such things. cos that person should feel pai say not giving up seats.
