Alas, it's the last day of our "Two Wheel Around Taiwan" experience, and what better way to sweeten this whole trip by hanging out with two of Taipei's hottest biker chicks, 王晨飄 and Cynthia Wang! ;)
As pretty as her pink ride, Piao Piao is a proud owner of her sporty Aprilia RSV4,
and Cynthia has got some serious riding skills with her Ducati 959 Panigale which she takes on at the tracks!
Cho Cafe (Hotel)
No. 119, Kunming Street, Wanhua District, Taipei City, Taiwan 108
Knowing that I've returned my bike to the shop, Piao Piao suggested Cho Cafe located conveniently in Ximending, which was just a short 15 minutes walk from where I was staying at. It was a spacious cafe exuding a sense of rustic character from all the vintage furnitures around.
This cafe is also actually part of Cho Hotel that offers cosy accommodation just above.

And that's one thing I love about traveling - Meeting new people, making new friends from all over the world brought together by one common passion which is motorcycling.
Of course, not forgetting a lot of the usual girl talk hehe. By the way, both of them are really tall, slim and beautiful ladies. Can be supermodel kind of standard. I feel like a dwarf next to them hahaha.
After having an awesome time with the girls, it was time to bid goodbye and head back into the shopping district of Ximending to buy and eat whatever I can in this last few remaining hours I have in Taipei!
Don't we all face that... especially when coming to the end of the trip.
Thankfully, it wasn't so crowded, which made shopping much easier as I swiftly flew in and out of stores like no tomorrow.
Luckily I've got these two with me, to help me carry all my heavy shopping so I can lighten my wallet further by buying more nonsense hahaha.
LOL. Kyle cannot already..
But I still can! Continue shopping! Chiong ahhh!
继续购买!!!
After all that shopping, we went to indulge in some mouth-watering food. It may look simple but I'm telling you, Taiwan foods are really delicious, the flavours are also close to what we have in Singapore.
Diggingggg in! Wiping out every single dish because it's our last meal here in Taiwan before hopping on the cab and heading to the airport.
When we arrived at the airport and unloaded our bags and stuff, I was wondering.. "since when we got so many things? I thought we packed light?"
David was like "You still dare to say ah? You're the one who bought a lot ok."
Because we only had 20KG check-in baggage, we ended up repacking our bags at one corner of the airport and made sure that it wouldn't exceed the weight limit. Haha.
With a grateful heart and a new volume of wonderful memories clocked during this epic adventure here in Taiwan, we got on the plane and scooted back to Singapore!
Thank you Taiwan for being so amazing! We are all so truly blessed to be able to have experienced this beautiful country in ways we had never thought, and apart from being awed by spectacular sightseeing routes that we were riding on with our motorcycles, we'll never forget the magnanimous kindness we've encountered in your people that has touched our hearts deeply.
Till next time!
With the next adventure coming up in.. PHILIPPINES!
