Taiwan Trip

Last weekend I went to Taipei, Taiwan for the weekend!

I really enjoyed the city... so much fun! There actually quite a few things to do there...maybe not all in Taipei, but around the rest of Taiwan.
We went to the Night Market there... no crazy bug food, but awesome sales! They had soooooo many shoes! There were so many people there too! I really enjoyed walking around and seeing everything.




These are some of my favorite yummy snacks! haha... they are just potatoes on sticks, but I love 'em! They also had whole deep-fried chickens for around $3 (USD) and tons of other options!! 



Another place we went was a traditional Taiwanese Temple. They had these cool carvings everywhere just like these.



We also went to a more modern temple. They had a guard change there every hour... very official-like. One kid got to close to the guard on duty and he stamped really loud and scared us all... haha they probably wait all day for people to do that.
We went to another area of Taiwan... near the Zoo, where we took a cable car to this area up on the mountain side. They have all of these tea farms there.
It was a little chilly while we were there... especially on the mountain.



Another thing we saw was the Taipei 101, which is their famous tower. We went up to about the 85th floor and ate at one of tehir restaurants... it was sooo good! When you went into the bathroom, one of the walls was completely made of glass. That was kind of a weird feeling! lol

I really enjoyed Taiwan... everybody was really nice and helpful to us. Plus, it was incredibly easy to travel around the city using MRT or taxi...always a big help! I hope I get to go back and see some of their other stuff!
