Sorry for the long wait~! here comes the 2nd part of my adventure!!!!

So~ it was a few days trip, and everything was fine and just as good as ever~
AND! the most exciting part is the last day of the trip!

The entrance~
`
Grand Tokyo-Taipei~ the name of the building~

WE stayed in a 民宿 in 西门町 which the rooms there aren't bad. It's kinda like an apartment, with security at the front door. The place is quite convenient too, so seems to be a good pace to rest for a night. We separated into a few groups and go whatever place we wanna go.

The brothers who didn't bring their slipper and decided
to wear the slippers provided by the hotel =.=
Here we are~  西门町
dinner time~ 便当style

苦瓜汁 is a must when we come  西门町



1st indication of the event is........ (we never thought it is an indication) one of our aunt called us and ask us whether we hear any fire alarm some time ago. Since we just got back so the answer is no~ so~ we carry on with out movie, packing out luggage and get to sleep.

"There's fire in the building, please do not be panic a leave the building immediately" OMG! Is this real? the fire alarm rang (it didn't literally rang, it's like an answering machine announcement =.=), and keep repeating! I thought it was my imagination until my whole family wake up and confirmed it! WHAT?!?!?! I've never really face a fire before!

Dad ask bro go open the door and check, if there's no smoke we still have time to get our documents and even luggage out, and yes, there's no smoke. My grandma even ask whether she should put on her bra 1st (she sleeps without bra), and my dad was like "MUM, it's fire, forget bout the bra!" so! our whole family carry all the luggage and ran down the staircase!The staircase! thank goodness we stay at the 3rd floor (if i'm not mistaken), but the stair was full of buckets and mops which kinda block half of the stair!! Grandma trip and almost fall down..... 

When we reach ground floor, a lot of the residence including our group of ppl were there already, well at least everyone got down safely. Our aunt told us that this is then 2nd time they heard this fire alarm. so 1st time was the time when she called us earlier. Okay....... well. a few ppl already standing at the front desk asking bout the details as it's not the 1st or 2nd time in a day already...... well it was quite disastrous, and I kinda pity the guard too.

standing, sitting, walking around, waiting for an answer~


There were not much couch inside, so some of us just sit on the floor outside 

There's nothing for us to do so we just wandered around and chit chat with random stranger who stay in the same building with us. And we look up to the building, checking windows and trying to be like sherlock holmes, guessing which floor and house is on fire~~ A few minutes later the police and fire engine came~ WOW! ok! This is the 1st time I see fire trucks real time, so close, in front of my eyes at this kind of situation (and then later I found out it was not only me). Frankly, I was kinda excited XD well not just me~ seems many ppl were excited too~ (see? not only me~)


Fire trucks~ cool~~~ n not just one, but two came!

And that's how I met Thomas from Macau
The policemen was at the front desk (not sure what they are doing, but they really are doing their job), and the firemen went up to the building. Well. took them some time though, they were up for long time and haven't come down yet. and that's when the complaining really started.

Police~! wheeee~~
Still waiting while gossiping

Well, this was expected..... false alarm > 2 times + long long wait + there were quite a few tourists too

And the heroes were finally back! They've checked every single floor, floor by floor, unit by unit and it turned out to be a false alarm, everything was fine, not fire~ no nothing~ We can all go back to sleep now~ The security guard? They gotta work hard now, they have to checkout the fire alarm and fix it.

AND the day was save by the brave firemen!!!
It was tiring, to wake up in a shock, carry luggage down a few floors and stay up in the middle of the night, not to forget we had an exhausting day before this~ But, everytime recalling this experience, it was indeed a good one, and kinda fun for me XD Well, even some of the aunt and uncle in our group said they've never had this experience before too!
