♥ London: Burger & Lobsters Mayfair

好久没更新。 2020年因为疫情的关系很多生活甚至工作上的转变要适应 直到今年来到了八月 还是有很多的挑战 差点忘了自己偶尔喜欢写写部落格 喜欢看回以前生活或旅行时拍下的回忆 这些对我而言这是一种放松。 

今天来回忆 写写我们的欧洲游。第一站 伦敦。

从杜拜机场出发到伦敦 飞了7小时45分钟 终于到啦 飞机上看下去的伦敦 抵达的时候 心里挺感动的 💓 毕竟其实没计划过或想过可以那么快实现欧洲游。机票是在槟城拍婚照时突然看到的机票优惠 就买下了4月的机票。没有任何计划没有任何头绪要到哪里玩 但老公想说我的生日可以在巴黎过。 😂 也没顾虑到气候等。但整个欧洲游我觉得真的很美好，虽然有些小惊吓。

依稀记得到了伦敦机场是大概当地傍晚4-5点， 先买了Oyster Card (当地的交通卡, 30英镑)，接着就是要搭地下铁Picadilly line 到King Cross St Pancras站。因为酒店就在车站附近。 

我们入住的是 Point A Hotel. 酒店门外房内的照片都没拍，估计是因为途中看见有酒鬼乱搭讪缠着路人要钱 心里有点不安也害怕成为目标 就快快的进入hotel check in 等 也许也是因为有点累了。酒店的房规模特小 放了行李两个人在房里步行有点勉强😂 但是整体环境很干净很舒服的。

因为有点累 而也快到了晚餐时间 休息了一会儿 我们就决定到Mayfair的Burger & Lobster 去用餐，这间也是Burger & Lobster 连锁最早期的第一间。地点不难找，乘搭地铁到 Green Park站 然后随着人群走出站外 沿途会经过一个大公园 很值得停下来溜达一下 感受下大自然 还有拍照留恋。4月的伦敦气候偏冷当天的气候温度大概10-12度左右，偶尔会下毛毛雨 天阴阴的。

越过公园走到公园出口，再越过马路，大概走一小段路就可以抵达Burger & Lobster Mayfair。我们不知道需不需要预定或会满座 就心想碰一碰运气。这里的街道建筑风格都很美呀。 

 

抵达的时候　餐厅里人挺多几乎满座　幸运的有空桌给我们。餐价挺高的，我们点了两人套餐Combo For Two 还有饮料。饮料的选择都挺特别的 5英镑一杯 差不多30马币。我们点了一杯Mandarin Cooler. 饮料里有mandarin，lime，mint 和 apple。味道很清爽很开胃很解腻。

龙虾

龙虾我们记忆中不算太小只 非常新鲜 肉很鲜嫩 汉堡相比之下比较普通些。他们有提供一个很特别的餐具 原来是用来钩龙虾肉出来的 很好用。这一餐我们是很满足的 也为伦敦第一天旅游画上完美句点。

晚餐后 就回到酒店好好休息 因为接下来的行程满满。 💗

♥ Dubai International Airport 杜拜国际机场转机

最近的疫情 感受了原来健康和自由是那么的可贵。很怀念疫情前可以趴趴走到不同国家去体验。

丢回 我们2018年伦敦旅行在杜拜转机的点滴。蛮折腾的 吉隆玻>杜拜 7小时飞机行程 在机场要逗留个4小时45分。 然后再从杜拜飞到伦敦 7小时45分飞机行程 睡 醒 吃 睡 醒 吃到有点怀疑人生。

Emirates 飞机餐我们都挺喜欢的 💓

到了杜拜机场是凌晨4.55am 累到无法逛duty free 只是饶了一圈看看 就找个地方落脚休息小睡。

很可爱的M&M outlet。每个机场的设计都不一样 很有趣。还有捕捉到很可爱的空姐飞机师公仔。我对杜拜机场的回忆 还真的不多😂 依稀记得挺繁忙的。

睡醒登机往伦敦去·。离开杜拜前 高空拍下了杜拜风景照 好像蛮繁华的。这是我第二次来到杜拜机场转机 上一次是飞去南非。两次都安排不到到杜拜城市去走走 无缘。结果换来的杜币随便买纪念品和吃的花掉去。

很累但也真的很期待 伦敦会给我们什么惊喜。

♥ Taiwan trip (9D8N): Loft Hostel, Fengjia, Taichung (逢甲樓特)

2017 | Taiwan

Day 1: KLIA > Taoyuan Airport > Taichung > Tunghai University > Fengjia night market.
Accommodation in Fengjia: Loft Hostel
x

The location of Loft Hostel is quite ideal, situated in the heart of Fengjia shopping district inside an small alley and just less than a 5-minutes walk from the Fengjia night market.

Although car is not accessible in those small alleys, but the distance of Lost Hostel from the main road junction also quite a short one and it is generally quite safe to walk across those quiet alleys.

The main entrance of Loft Hostel.

There is no receptionist. So, to get into the hostel and your room, you will have to use the phone/intercom near the entrance to call the person-in-charge to obtain the door and room passcode. Check-in is only allowed after 5pm. 

Their rooms are at 6 different themes to accommodate guest: Tennessee, Columbus, Richmond, Napa, Detroit and Bronx. My husband and I chosen the Detroit room with industrial-styled design. The space of the room is still acceptable at about 14 square metres. 

Kinda surprise to see that they even adopted steel flooring. 

Overall, we have a pleasant stay in Loft Hostel. Room and toilet is clean. However, soundproofing of their room needs improvement.

p/s: We booked the room through Agoda and each room costs about RM179 (incl. tax).

♥ Taiwan trip (9D8N): Luce Memorial Chapel, Tunghai University, Taichung (路思义教堂,东海大学,台中)

2017 | Taiwan

Day 1: KLIA > Taoyuan Airport > Taichung > Tunghai University > Fengjia night market.
Accommodation in Fengjia: Loft Hostel

This trip marked my second trip to Taiwan, a beautiful country that I don't mind to travel every year. We booked Malindo Airline 6-months before the trip which costs around RM650. Travel period was mid-of-May.

Luggage and meals are included. Plain omelette pretty good but portion was rather small. 

Noodles with fried vegetarian taukan. Tasteless. 

Signature must-take-photo when you are in a plane. Good weather. 

Arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan Airport. The architecture design is unique. Look at the reflection on the floor. We booked a tour guide and van for this 9D8N in Taiwan. First day in Taiwan and we decided to travel to Taichung right away. 

Before departure to Taichung, we grabbed some snacks and drinks from 7-11. This milk candy is one of my favourite.

This brand of green tea also one of my favourite. If you have the chance to visit Taiwan, give it a try.

Tunghai University (东海大学) was our first stop in Taichung. This university is located in Xitun district in Taichung. We are here for the Luce Memorial Chapel (路思义教堂).

You will have to take a short walk (~15-20mins) from the main entrance of Tunghai University to the Luce Memorial Chapel. We enjoyed our walk. Luckily it is evening and the weather is good. The university compound is clean. 

Luce Memorial Chapel (路思义教堂), with a tent-like conoid structure design, sits in the middle of huge green grass pasture. So unique and impressive. We are so in love with this place. 

A closer look at the chapel. The exterior is covered in brown, glazed, and diamond-shaped tiles. But too bad we are not allowed to enter the chapel. We can only peek through the glass panel to catch a glimpse on its interior. A lovely couple was there for pre-wedding shoot.

Nothing much to do here. But we enjoyed our evening here for photo-taking and walking around the university ground. 

We have no regret to pay a visit here.
