Last June, my parents went to Taiwan to visit my uncle and auntie who just got out of the hospital after a surgery. One of the things that you have to plan about when travelling is for a place to stay - this was no different. So, I was looking around for a hotel, even thinking of renting out a unit from the airbnb site, but the idea was still foreign to me so I thought it's better to stick to the hotel for now.

There's the agoda site and booking.com - although agoda may offer a better price for using their services, booking.com allows you to pay later through their "Book Now, Pay When You Stay" option, instead of paying online. Just know that booking at booking.com lets you cancel your booking without fee but you must do so before three days of the date you'll be arriving at the hotel.

The hotel that I booked for my parents was Green World Hotel Jian Pei Suites. There are 2 Green World hotels so be careful to check the location of each. This hotel was located at No.140, Sec. 1, Jianguo N. Rd, Zhongshan District, 10489 Taipei. 

I was at the mall yesterday, walking around looking for something to do and I got to the floor where the salons were and read eyebrow threading in some of the posters posted on few salons. I was choosing between The Brow Specialist and Lay Bare.  It was my first time to try eyebrow threading, since I've tried Lay Bare before and had become a repeat customer, I decided to go there. From what I read in the net, it says that it's a bit painful but because it pulls your hair from the roots, it takes longer for the hair to grow back compared to shaving or plucking.
