Entry 2: My December Holidays
























Hi everyone, I went Taipei during the December Holidays. When I reached the Airport I felt very excited. When I reached there, cold air brushed against my face. We took a bus back to the hotel(name of hotel, One-star hotel). When we reached our room it was very late. The next day we went to the Taipei 101. It is the tallest building in the world today. The lift to the observatory is very fast, so fast that my ears popped! There is a giant metal ball to counter strong wind resistance. It was an amazing sight up there. I can see the whole Taipei city and all seemed so small like my toys! A few days later I went to (大坑)a leisure farm. I went to an outdoor hot spring pool and it was very hot. Just as I was relaxing in the pool, I saw a boiled Leopard frog(a type of frog.) in the pool! Terrified I jumped out of the pool. It was one of my worst fears I encountered. My father used his slipper to scoop it up and threw it away. Then I went back to the pool to enjoy the water with my father and brother. We had a great time! After our dip in the pool, we explored the whole farm and did a small mountain climbing. We stumbled upon an obstacle playground and my brother and I had great fun climbing. I nearly fell off from the obstacle and I was very nervous. But I persevered and continue, my father and mother were egging me on at the sides. It was very fun. Later I also went to play the gondola. It slide from one end to another. My mother, brother and I had a great time playing with the gondola except for my father. He had a phobia for height. We spent one night at the farm and the next day we went back to Taipei city. We spend the next four days exploring the city. We spent some time in the museum and also to some bookstores. The next day I went back to Singapore. This is a holiday I will never forget.
