Taiwan in December

elusivekI was researching flights for Taiwan for the Boss and certainly I noticed that 8-December, which is a public holiday here, is on a Friday. So, searching for flights for him turned into just looking into flights for me LOL. I got my flight tickets for 7-December flying out and the 10-December back, which, upon further reflection, I should have chosen to go on 8-December early flight in order to save a night of hotel. But. Anyway. What's done is done.
But.
I don't feel the drive. The FIRE. The excitement. There were a couple moments I wanted to ask my friends if they wanted to come, but I sort of felt like if I do so, they'll hijack my itinerary and do everything else. But they are the ones with the knowledge of what is good and especially the food. So I'm still torn with what to do about it.
Although I booked a hostel but I didn't feel like staying in a dorm with strangers, so I booked a private room. But thinking about that, then maybe I should have booked an actual hotel, but the hostel I booked looks a lot nicer and newer than hotels in the area. I won't beable willing to afford the hotels that my Boss stays at. So there. Still stingy I guess? Or just down to earth, I guess.
The plan? There is no plan LOL. Well, take part in that lucky draw to see if I get the NT$5000 card LOL. I'll probably go to a different night market 2 nights (Raohe and Shida). Would like to spend some time in Eslite. But geez, it's been so long, I don't remember where is where. There's this specific street I'd like to go to, but I don't remember the name, nor the MRT station name. Beitou looks interesting, I'd probably go take a look at that fancy library. I'm kind of thinking of going to Jiufen but once I start imagining the hoards of people then I just lose interest.
I've done the Pingxi route previously as well (that was a gutsy trip LOL). Tamsui is supposed to be another touristic spot but I've been there twice and.................... no comment. A friend brought me to Wulai (sp?) once and I don't think I have the guts to go alone, and besides, I don't normally go to places I've been to before.
Ximendeng, 101, and those usual trendy spots, I'll probably skip. So coming to think of it, there doesn't seem to be much. Anyway.
Maybe my interests will take hold later again. We'll see.
