This hotel is located near XiMenDing MRT station in Taipei. Abt 5 mins walk from the mrt station.
It is a 7-Storey high hotel at Neijiang junction. I had stayed there for 3 times. hehe.. supporter rite ? haha...
Facilities is pretty basic, well, I don't need anything fancy cuss most of the time is out of the hotel anyway. Just need to bath and sleep. The room has TV, cupboard, small fridge, hot shower and hot water dispenser.
And the hotel only have double bed, so you gotta share with your roommate. The hotel do provides simple breakfast everyday, sandwich and boxed juice/tea.
Nearby hotel, my wife and I found a nice 煎包(fried bun) stall. NT30 per bun. Very nice! Go find it... you will pass by this store when you are walking to XiMenDing MRT from the hotel. Happy finding!
To go to this hotel from Chiang Kai Sek airport, walk out of the luggage collection area and turn left. Walk about 20m and you will see many bus counters there. Look for Feigo(飞狗）bus counter and tell the staff you want go to hotel neijiang, should cost about NT $160 per pax.
Once you got the ticket, just wait for the counter staff to inform you when to board.
Enjoy!
*How do you go back to Chiang Kai Sek airport from Neijiang Hotel ?
I recommend you to take a cab, cab ride should not cost more than NT 120 to get to 国光客运东站 (Guo Guang EAST Bus Terminal). Once you reach there, buy a ticket to the airport and board the bus to airport. Total journey should not exceed 45 minutes provided traffic is smooth.

Driftwood in tank!
Went to C328 again today, trying to get Java Moss. Unfortunately, upon enquiry with the lady boss, she said, "Forgot to order Java Moss today..."
Upon hearing that, my dear lao por, suggested we go to the other aquarium shop nearby to try our luck. And woila! They have 2 packets of Java Moss, small packet $3 each. And so we bought and then visited the shop. They are selling lotsa fishes, many kinds.
We were so attracted by the different kind of fishes they sold, when the fishes is in school (group), really really alot, like 1 fish per inch that close.
Came home and finish off things needed to settle and started to plant. Took me abt 1 hour to complete the tying.
As you can see, drift wood is abit oversize. So the top is over the water surface.
Learnt that tying the plants using the nylon string is not easy, tend to slip off by itself. Gotta try other knots, maybe I'll look for pathfinder or Linus. haha...
I am still finding the touch of aqua planting, this is my first time doing it. Not sure whether the plant will survive anot. Dosed 1 cap of seachem flourish excel after planting and changing 40% of the water. Also abit of Beneficial Bacteria.

Setting up a new Aqua Tank
Thanks to my sifu who is also my cousin, gave me lotsa advices and helping me to decide what to get and what is the next step. Finally, the initial setup has begun!
New tank with fresh water. Had been running the fresh water for days to prepare it for new habitants.
Dropped 2ml of Beneficial Bacteria into it and few ml of anti-chlorine liquid.
Fish tank size: 2ft(width) x 1ft(height) x 0.8ft(depth)
Bought it from Qian Hu aquarium shop.

The In and Out pipes. Can see the outlet is generating lotsa current in the water on the surface.
This is the U-shape water outlet. Abit like snorkel.
External filter that I am using - Fluval 204. Good enough for my small tank.

Don't wait till last minute (till you are gone..)
The dragon boat incident had taught me some life lessons. Some life lessons that are pretty hard to learn and always been forgotten at good times.
Dont wait till you are gone. Alot of time, we put our own interest first, "I can still go to church next week. Is alrite that I don't attend today." Aren't this familiar ?
You and me, at times, we do have some things on our priority list that pushed going to church, worshipping the Almighty God behind....
Once, twice... is ok. I will go back to You Lord, one day. Let me attend to this special occasions..
After a few time, we no longer see the importance of worshipping the Lord, start to see it as a chores.
If you are lucky, you realize it early and go back to the Lord.
If you are not, I am not sure where you will end up.
So, don't wait till you are gone!
Spend time and cherish every moment with the people around you. Be it 1 min, 2 mins... do your part as a loving being on this earth. If you are christians, live it as the Lord has instructed us to be, LOVE EACH ONE ANOTHER.
The person's life you briefly interacted might have an impact from your action or yourself blessed by doing so.
On the other hand, your family and friends, cherish the time you have with them, every moment, every seconds. Because you neva know when you will see him/her again.
The big ME ME ME.
We had always put ourselves as number 1. The big ME has broken many lives, causing breakups, divorces and separations.
If you like this ME, you will see yourself in a smaller world by yourself. Studies in Korea has found that many more individuals live alone, thus even coffee table is just a small square for you and your cup of coffee. How sad, isnt it ?
So, please please lowercase this ME to me. Are'nt this small me, looks better?
Take care of others and put them first in your life, am sure that they will be blessed with you around. This is how Jesus lived his short life on this earth.
Today, make an impact and change how you think, you never know when is your final breath.
