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.

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!

Our day of sleeping was long and hard.

Baltimore is starting to spring.

The new Apple Store is gorgeous. I feel like you always see it from the river, but what impresses me is the richness of architecture in view.

This is totally the content I want as a @theincomparable member.

Thinking a lot about how advertising targeting men is different than advertising targeting women.

Grandpa open the door!

I may have over ordered BBQ and ended up with some serious meat sweats.

The Al Pastor at Veracruz is the best I’ve ever had.

As my time in a city increases, the likelihood that I will spend an hour at an independent bookstore approaches 1.

At Grandpa and Grandma’s house for March.

Two pups and an aunt.

We’re so tired after a visiting from grandpa, grandma, and aunt.

My typical Saturday position. Just missing the Kindle.

It’s been 9 long years that I haven’t had my amp and pedal board in my home. Here’s hoping I play more this next 9 years. (And get my other guitars here!)
