Bid goodbye to the lovely nature cingjing early in the morning because it is a long journey back to taipei. Actually we plan to go to 六福村 but we decide to cancel the trip instead because first it is too rush and tiring, have to drag our luggage to the theme park and lock it there and definitely would have to spend a day to play before we head back to Taipei which would be super late at night. Secondly, one of the maid cafe staff introduce us to this butler cafe in taichung that we should go and visit so might as well have a relax Hi-Tea and head back Taipei than to rush our day. So we actually left our luggage at Taichung staion, they've got this luggage service whereby you pay an amount to keep your luggage at the station. It is by luggage size by the way, so i think ours were considered quite big so the fee wasn't that cheap thou. We did our research and also did a short chat with the staff on fb to understand how we should go. I remember we took a bus from the station and alight when we saw KFC. (sorry I couldn't recall the exact direction, regret not writing it down and blogging after so long), you can always check with the staff on fb or email them, they are quite friendly. The details of the butler cafe:

| I think my sister book a very early time slot. Please go to their fb and check on the operation timing and such because I think there are certain days that they are closed. |
 |
| There is minimum spending amount of NT150 per person I think. |
 |
| The interior |
 |
| small little cafe |
 |
| As said, a butler cafe, they have different design of tea sets for us to choose from ( like a tai tai) |
 |
| many nice design |
 |
| books and their products as well |
 |
| our european Hi tea. awesome much. I think this is about NT1400 I guess. |
Very fulfilling and the staff are very friendly and interactive too. Lucky for us who cant really start a conversation with strangers, the manager of the cafe actually visited Singapore and know abit of it and of course they are very communicative. So the whole experience was really good plus the Hi Tea is really good as well. Too full to be true. And so it is about time to leave Taichung already because we bought our train ticket back to Taipei earlier. Resting time on the always comfy train!
Almost night time when we reach Taipei. We booked a hotel in Ximending for convenience sake. My sister found this hotel I guess. Abit of walking distance and away from the main ximending shopping area, probably a 10mins walk. But I guess it was pretty cheap that my sister booked it I guess. Think it was about $40 per person per night and we stayed for 4 nights. The hotel details:

| HAHA! I was weighing my luggage, thinking what if it over-weight. |
 |
| LOL! looks like a love motel. |
 |
| Head down for our dinner because we were quite hungry by then |
 |
| I still quite like this shop, not just because of the golden retriever but I like the food too. I couldn't really say it was top notch high class food either but it is like a comfy food for me. |
 |
| As cute as always |
 |
| not forgetting to visit this shop whenever we are here. My sister favourite shop but lucky this time she didn't buy anything, the last time here, she bought close to NT10,000 worth of things? Can you believe it. I think it was about there or definitely more than NT5000. 2 Shirts, a bag and a jacket. Crazy shit. |
And we ended our day having a stroll around before crashing. Our trip is ending real soon too!
