Picnic at Niagara on The Lake

A must-go tourist attraction in Toronto is of course Niagara Falls. And since I am currently a tourist this month, we will be staying at Niagara falls area for a few days.
Advanced warning as usual: SO MUCH PICTURES OF THE NIAGARA FALLS
Hey dont blame me for taking so much pictures, its too amazing, you just have to capture it AND share it. (yes, your welcome)

This is Niagara On The Lake
Its an area near Niagara falls but more like parks and shopping area.
We had a great picnic there and went shopping on cute stores. Yes I found interesting stuff as usual that I will show you guys.

So.. it takes about 2 hours to get there and we stopped by the vineyard along the long highway.



Then off to a park to set our picnic :)

Eating picnic lunch with a mouthful of swag!

My new favorite snack slash junk food slash chips slash fat

Its in the biggest package size I ever saw

Then we get to fool around a bit,
 Here's an artistic shot of my dear pretty cousin.

Oh, we found a moustache-like leaf soooo yeaaah...

Next stop is Niagara on the Lake. (which is kind of weird because I didnt see any lake :s)
This is such a pretty little town. Cute stores and shops and lots of beautiful flowers.






This is one of the cute store I found.

Then, MORE FLOWERSSSS!! lalalalallalalalalalalaa





Weird toilet sign. Got me confused for a while there.
Hmm, which way do I go?
*one of it is a trap* :O



These random stuff I found in the stores. :D

YES, christmas decoration store!
I took silently took pictures around the stores, I took a risk of being kicked out of the store to entertain you readers! Your welcome! Hope you like the glass pickles christmas decorations!



Found one of the fun-est store ever. Its actually an Ice cream shop but they have the most punniest cow related merchandise.
Check out their website and store samples here: http://www.cows.ca/


CHOCOLATES!


Oh forgot to mention that it was so very hot that day! So the sign on this store successfully invited us in.
and so I found this interesting one size shirt. It looks like a kids size shirt but it can magically stretch into an adult size shirt!
Here's a video of me trying to show you how stretchy it was. Emphasizing on the word "trying to".
Hey, don't blame me. I'm holding a camera on my other hand AND I'm silently recording this hoping that the shopkeeper won't kick me out. Akh! Things I do to satisfy my easily-amused-self.


THEN! OFF TO NIAGARA FAAALLLSSSS!!!

Mount Tremblant (Day 2)

Okay, I have accomplished so much on this 2nd day. Taken wayy too much pictures. And so I will compile a video and it will be up in the end of the post. (or next post, because compiling video is not an easy job for a lazy person such as me)
Warning: This is a long post. Lots of pictures tho so bear with it!

What we did today:
1. 9 am - 12 pm = HIKING
2. 12 pm - 1 pm = Lunch at the mountain top after hiking for 3 waffles hours
3. 2 pm - 3pm = Mini golf
4. 4 pm - 4.30 pm = Luge ride
5. Lots of eating, shopping, more eating.

okay the timeline is so messed up but its basically what I did.

HIKING

Our route is the letter C and we started at the letter I first.
and so after 1 hour we reached the (look at the you are here sign from the map).
L.O.L huh?! 2 (and prolly a half more cuz I stop to rest alot) hours more till we reached the top.
(Videos and panoramic shots and achievement shots will be in the vids, they're just too many)

SO TIRING!!! BUT WHO CARES COZ WE REACHED THE TOP!!


Was so happy and felt very proud of the poor-physical-challenged-weak-lazy-little me managed to hike up the mountains. *screams on top of the mountain (literally)* ;')

"We deserved an award and reward for this" - Feli

Then we went down with the gondola after lunch. Amazing view here.
Remember how I said Mount Tremblant is a ski resort. Yeah, in summer it looks weird.
But in Winter, all these will be covered in hardcore snow, and it will look like this.


Just kidding. I dont actually know how it looks like but I image it covered in white snow like this. Anywaayss....


ON TO THE...

MINI GOLF

*dramatic music*

Its a serious game okay! As you can see from my facial expression and body language, this game is very challenging.
Extra concentration and patience is required.
....

I finished 2nd last. BUT HEY, at least I didnt finished last!
It was scorching hot tho. Insane summer heat.



Luge Ride

I forgot how to pronounce it "louge" / "luj" / "laj". Oh! its pronounced FUN.
This is a really great reward for me after the 3 hour hike. THE LUGE RIDE WAS SO MUCH FUN!!
For those of you who does not know what Luge is, go look it up in google. :p
For those who havent tried it, GO TRY! Google how to try it also.

So we go up the hill again with an open gondola. See those tracks? Those are the luge tracks and its a downhill so we can slide down with our luge cart(?).

THIS WAS INTENSE YOW!!
The ride lasted about 5 minutes (if you go slowly)
There's lotsof sharp turns, so it was fun!

SHOPPING! well, eye shopping actually.

and so I messed around the village. All cool yow.

#yeahsanta

Awkward rock climbing pose. #yeahbuddy


AND THEN I FOUND THE.CUTEST.THING.EVER!



Then onto another gondola.





Here's a view from the gondola


AND THEN WE DINE!!


Nice looking pizza eh? Half eaten becoz we so hungry yow. Those were some good pizzas. 
Thumbs up.

This is called Beaver Tails, usually found in ski resorts such as this.
Its a deep fried dough shaped like a beaver's tail.
Then you can put a bunch of toppings on top. Mine here is Cookies and Cream. Despite the appearance of the cookies and creams that I now realize does not look as appetizing, it was still so good.
Can't wait to try other flavors too :D

OHOHOHO!! Then I ate an interesting snack.

MAPPLE TAFFY
Its basically mapple syrup, but it has a cool way to make it taffy. ;)


Yeah, You're suppose to wait for 1 minute until you can start rolling it, but I just cant wait. So I started when I am not supposed to yet. Thus, I had to roll slowly just to make sure it freezes completely, and I was holding a camera on the other hand. I apologize for the long tedious mapple taffy action.

THEN

THE POUTINE

This is the most delicious junk-food ever. It is french fries from fresh potatoes covered in bacon, ham, chicken, more bacon, cheese, mushroom and gravy sauce. H-E-A-V-E-N


Served fresh hot from the oven! Yum!


~~~~~

All tummies filled and now onto the bed (sofa-bed) to rest
Good night :) See you in the next post tomorow :)

Taiwan Transit

After a 5 hour flight in this cute plane (picture below). Look it has a huge hello kitty sticker on the side of the plane. Yay!


Arrived in Taiwan Airport at night and had a HUGE instant noodle for dinner, it also has a pork meat toppings :o. I was so hungry that time and I was such in a bad luck that I accidentally put warm water instead of hot. So it failed. and I was hungry. It was still my birthday. So yeah...


Here's a view from my hotel in Taiwan :D

Breakfast for me literally means break (kit-kat chocolate "Have a Break, Have a KitKat")
and becoz its also fast to eat kitkat for breakfast.
Yay chocolate for breakfast.

Found an orchid garden inside the Taiwan Airpot. We had so much free time to waste,
we went aroud the airport and found lotsof cute stuff.
Like this pink public telephone. Muahahaha!

All things Hello Kitty :D


Anyways, next stop is Toronto, Canada.
