ahh!! i was so close to the shooting scene of idol dramas- huan huan ai & love or bread.

since tao yuan nite market has onli 1 street n it's a loong journey there.
saw e ferris wheel?
e bunch of us went to take a ride.
e nite view of this ferris wheel definitely beat our local one.
of course i wouldnt miss e chance of takin a shot with e wheel. :p
