藍家割包: Guanaco! Gontran Cherrier.

Last noodles in Taipei

The final noodles in Taipei.

Taipei 101, more walking around the city, a short hike, and total collapse. We missed the night markets because we were just too tired.

Xiangshan Hiking Trail (象山登山步道).

It was a tough 20 mins up the steps this afternoon. We had already walked about 5 miles before attempting the trek. The view was definitely worth it, but we were so knocked out when we got to the bottom we ate a delicious scallion pancakes, hopped on the MRT, and fell asleep at 7pm for the rest of the night.

I snapped a shot of the city from ZhongXiao Fuxing from the Brown line, an elevated MRT that we may just take through the city later just to watch Taipei go by.

Lee’s recommendation of shaved ice was spot on, as was Elsa’s insistence we eat bao.

Taipei 101 Food Court (台北101美食街).

Just love that there’s this beautiful public space in the MRT station abutting a park with families and friends hanging out. No cops, no complaints about loitering. Just people enjoying public space.

Favorite trees, you shall not pass edition.

National Taiwan University (國立臺灣大學).

Beef noodles and dumplings. @westminsterfox and I had this for lunch. Basically $11.55 with tip for both of us. Delicious.

So much Studio Ghibli

Pictures from our first day Taipei, which involved napping, beef noodles, napping, walking through some residential neighborhoods, Chiang Kai-shek changing of the guards, napping, Shilin Night Market, and now sleep.

Papas @jsonbecker! Mamas @westminsterfox!

Don’t leave!
