This is D-day of our trip, THE event which was the reason why we went to Taiwan in Oct - Girls Generation. THE lst ASIA TOUR Into the new world!
The concert was held at Taipei Arena (1st time that we went there~) and it was at a walking distance from the Nanjing East Road metro station. There were no directions from the station but we headed the correct way by following some people who looked like they were going for the concert too.
It starts at 15:00 and we went there early to collect our tickets from the counter for international reservations. The place was full of people dressed in pink – the color of Girls Generation! There were also the usual vendors selling lightsticks, etc, and the authorities chasing them off.
After that, we went into a nearby shopping mall to escape the heat and had lunch at a Hi Sushi – the sushi was quite good. 
Back to the Taipei Arena, we bought pink lightsticks before we entered the venue. But they didn’t light up when we broke them!! Got cheated~~
At the concert entrance, we were given the lyrics to the song Complete, for us to sing along. The security folks were very strict about no photography in the venue, even before the concert started. They were very sharp and once they spotted anyone with cameras, they went over to give a warning!
At each seat, there was a pink tape and we were supposed to hold 1 end and throw it out towards the stage towards the stage when the song “Oh” ends so that there will be pink streamers everywhere. (G threw the whole roll out instead… 
)
Although I don’t really listen to their songs, I did enjoy the stage set-up and design. SNSD sang their hit songs like “Gee”, “Genie” and “Oh!”. They performed a total of 36 songs and had special appearances from SUPER JUNIOR’s Leeteuk and Donghae. The fans were extremely enthusiastic throughout the concert!!!!
After the concert, we went to Taipei City Hall Square for the 2010 Taipei Flora Expo Concert!
Mayday~~ it was a long time since I heard them sing live!! Glad we happen to be there for this concert! Couldn’t take good photos because we were standing quite far back. There were also other artistes like S.H.E and Jay Chou.
S.H.E. ~
Jay Chou! His jacket is strange!!
That’s the end for this trip as we made our way home the next day~~
I love Taiwan!
