Babe For Life

I admit, I was a Fashion Terriorist during my 8 days in Taiwan.

As I had decided to bring jackets and long sleeves knitted wear, I went to dig out the nicely packed clothes out from the big bag under my bed. At first, I packed some nice t shirts, 2 long sleeves tops, knitted wear and a jacket I borrowed from Nana. Then I saw Mak's jacket and decided to borrow it too. Packed with all the nice clothes, thinking I have enough clothes to change and looked nice for photo taking, I set off.

However, things did not turn out as I expected.

It was too cold. Taipei's temperature was about 10 to 15 degree, whereas Qing Jing could go as low as 4 degree at the mountain. Everyday I wore a t shirt, a knitted sweater, a jacket over it, plus a scarf over my neck, just to keep myself warm. All the nice clothes were all knitted beneath the thick jacket instead.

My pictures showed me in a thick jacket eveyday, and it seems like I never change my clothes. After a while, I decided to take pictures of sceneries and interesting things instead. When i looked at the girls in Taipei, I really wanted to salute them for their bravery. It was freezing cold, and they can wear short skirts plus those thin leggings. And I was struggling to keep warms with 3 to 4 layers of clothes and long jeans to keep my legs warm.

Anyway, since I mentioned about Fashion, there is a person that I think my Taiwan Kakis will applause for her. CSB really impressed us by wearing her Long Jong like a normal 'Gai Gai' clothes. Normally Long John is a tight fitting clothes that is to be wore inside, before you put on your t shirt and jacket.

CSB's Long John was too big for her, so she wore it like a normal top everyday. Basically it kept her warm so she did not need to wear the outer layer of the clothes at all. She was seen to be wearing it from the time we arrived till the day we left.

Hahaha! I think Fashionista will never be placed under our name when we went to these cold countries. Our bodies are not accomodated to the super cold weather.
