Hello & Goodbye Taipei City

aSherille, Grace and I swept the whole Taipe City and act like tourists! We visited Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Park, a site dedicated to Taiwan's greatest ruler and hero. We also visited the Loshan Temple, quite famous also in Taipei, primarily a Bhuddist country. We then went to New York New York, near Taipei City Hall and had a very hearty American meal.

This small but truly boisterous city is quite tourist-friendly. To begin with there's no entrance fee to most of their tourist destination. The MRT fare is cheap compared to other countries, and eating out is a fun thing to do here. Thanks to Sherille, I've got tons of pictures to show off.

Tomorrow I will go back home. The week has been truly exhausting but it was also a welcome atmosphere change. Frustrating that I'm having such as tough time to open my mailbox and cannot even establish good VPN from this hotel, but this also gave me the opportunity to explore Taipei, enjoy it's food and stroll around. I'm wasn't bothered by the language barrier, "sign language" was OK with me. I didn't know I had that capability and I have learned the word "she she" (thank you in Mandarin). So Taipei, I bid you hello and goodbye.
