這個應該對多台北以外的大學生都不陌生。中部以南的大學生們，有北上的時候，這裡應該是大家的首選。這次有機會重新來這裡，都是因為錢媽剛好帶著一群外籍朋友們來台北一日遊。剛好可以回味一下大學時期來這裡與同學們歡樂的那段時光。
This place must look familiar to those who used to attend universities outside of Taipei. This used to be the number one choice for students travelling to Taipei. Mum had some guests to entertain, and they were to stay here for the night. That's how I got a chance to revisit this place!
不過一問價錢才知道他其實不算便宜耶。只是論ＣＰ質而言，品質、安全性及舒適性來說應該算是高的了。要是住其他商旅，地點說不定都沒這邊好，安全性跟乾淨度可能也不及這裡呀。
After Mum told me how much the rooms were per night, at first I thought it wasn't as cheap as I thought it would be. But then I thought about the quality, the security, and comfort the place offers... Yeah! It was a good deal. If you stayed at other smaller hotels or inns, chances are they wouldn't be as clean, nor safe as this place here.
錢媽把大夥兒安頓好後，才進到自己房間。窗外的景色也很不錯。這豈是一般商旅看的到的景色？
After Mum helped the gang settle down, she showed me her room. Look at that view! This is definitely not the kind of view you could get at just any hotel (well, unless you pay maybe a few thousand more...)
這次訂的都是雙人房。
Mum had all the rooms as twin-bed rooms.
衛浴設備雖簡單，但非常的乾淨。
The bathroom was simple, but it was very clean. The least you could ask for.
浴室也這麼乾淨，一點潮濕味都沒有，應該是最近這幾年才裝修過。
Judging from how clean and dry the bathroom was (many hotels in humid Taipei has this disgusting wet smell...), I presumed the place had been newly refurbished only recently.
給旅客方便使用的盥洗用具。
Toiletries for your convenience.
基本上會對這種東西挑剔的也會自己帶。不過萬一忘了什麼，這些就派上用場了吧。
I would assume that if you were keen on stuff like this, you'd bring your own stuff. But if you happen to forget a thing or two, these might become handy!
其實這裡看的到101！要誰跨年當晚訂到這間房就走運了～
You can even see 101 from here! Whoever's lucky enough to get this room during New Year's Eve would have a spectacular view to the fireworks!
簽名實在不知道擺哪裡只好擺在螢幕裡～
The screen was the only place I could place my signature...
茶水杯子也是基本配備囉！
Tea and kettle... another must.
每一層樓都有的小茶水間。
There's a place like this on every floor.
接著是庭院的部分。
Now the garden!
還有個旅遊景點地圖呢。

相較之下，這裡是平民不少～
In comparison to the Grand Hotel across from us, this place is a lot more economical!
看看來這裡住的人客的素質就知道...（拜託不要是台灣人...）
Thus the quality of the guests staying here... Well, don't expect too much (I hope they're not Taiwanese!)
大多數這裡都還是服務大學生居多（畢竟標榜"青年"嘛！）
Most of the guests here are college students.
不過偶爾也會看到長輩的身影（有點狗仔的feel）
But sometimes you might see some older folks (feeling papparazzi like...)
錢媽的客人隔天早上很早就要到機場返國。這樣的行程根本來不及吃早餐。不過他們也很貼心的，確認了人數，並且承諾會將早餐包裝好讓大家帶著吃。
Mum's guests had to leave to the airport early in the morning, before breakfast time. They were kind enough to suggest that the breakfast could be packed and the guests could have them on the bus during the ride to the airport!

It's been quite a while since I updated articles in this category. I wish I had more time to go places and share the lovely scenes of Taiwan with the world. My friends had wanted me to join them for a cycling outing for a long time. Finally, we had the chance to actually do this. I like cycling. But before this, I had no idea it could be this fun. Especially when I saw the sunset...
