Walk Walk See See Taiwan - Survivor

This is our theme song during our 8 days trip in Taiwan. I actually extracted it out from the song by Destiny Child - Surviour.

All of us had been keeping close with the news about the weather in Taiwan before our holiday started. We kept asking if we have to bring winter clothings, or a normal jacket will be just fine, should we bring scarves? Were we be bringing too much clothes?

Most of us said we would most probably bring jackets and scarves, and even gloves. We got information from the TV News in Taiwan that there were certain places that started snowing. Furthermore, countries such as Hong Kong, Japan and Europe and The States reported that the temperature had became very cold. Everyone put on very tight layers of clothings to keep warm.

So we decided to bring extra jackets and clothes to keep us warm. MPP said that she had been to Taipei the last time, and she just had a normal jacket on. Therefore this time, she would do the same thing too.

I think, I had really experience what is Winter this time. I had been to Taipei during Winter, and I even had holidays in Hawaii and Gold Coast, which the weather were the same. I remembered wearing jackets and long sleeve t shirts, but I never felt this cold before.

We arrived in Taipei in the evening and we wemt out for dinner. Once I stepped out of the hotel, I could feel cold breeze blowing on my face. I was wearing a thin layer of long sleeve t shirt and a thick jacket on. Frankly speaking, I had a sense of regrets at that time, because I should have put on another t shirt underneath. How am I glad that we arrived at the Hello Kitty Restaurant for dinner, I quickly went in to get blocked out by the wind outside.

You must be wondering, how had this song came into the picture. MPP told us previously that she wanted to be the survivor during this trip. Meaning she will make do with what she has brought and survived her 8 days out of this cold weather. As we walked around those shops after dinner, we could feel the cold temperature around us, despite us wearing like a dumpling. Maybe our body had not get used to this kind of coldness, we started to trembled. Turning to look at MPP, she looked all right in what she was wearing.

Suddenly, very inspired, I started singing Destiny Child's Survivour, only that I changed the lyrics a bit.

'I'am a survivor, in this cold weather'

And all of us thought it matched the atmosphere we had and the songs actaully turned out to be quite rythmn.

Our sole survivor gave up the title after 2 days, because it was really too cold. And she bought another jacket , because we believed days up the mountain might be even freezing.

This became our team song for the rest of the trip, because it became colder and colder.

Will continue the freezing point on my entry in Qing Jing. That was the highing level of coldness I had encountered.
