Taipei Take 1: Just a Taste

It took a while to post this, once again. Recently I went to Taipei for 3 days with a few friends. Sadly my friend who I wanted to see was moving back to Boston earlier the day I arrived so I barely missed her. I still was quite excited to do some international travel which consisted of a 2-hour plane ride with food. I don't even get that in the states! I've had the itch to travel since I arrived in Macau so this was my chance to go before worked picked up. This post will be in parts because spare time has been quite scarce lately. We are on a 6-day work schedule and it's really busting my butt. I did not have much time in Taipei so we basically tried to cram as much as we could into each day. In addition, we had to take rests because it was ridiculously hot.

Here are some of the highlights, details to come.
1. 101
2. Chang Kai-Shek Memorial
3. The Palace Museum
4. Snake Alley Night Market
5. Friendly People
6. Peace Park
7. High Speed train
8. Japanese food
