Taipei, Taiwan
Day 2, 30 March 2008
We walked around quite a lot on the 2nd day in Taipei. Starting by walking around Zhongxiao road, going with the bus just to pass the Taipei Arena. Then he brought me to the streets near Taipei Railway Station since there are many food sellers there. There we tried Stinky Tofu (chou doufu), Oyster Vermicelli and also went to a restaurant to eat Cabbage Sushi and Sashimi plate.
Taipei 101
After that we went to the Taipei 101, the highest building in Taipei. Several levels of the Taipei 101 are used as luxurious shopping mall. The admission ticket for the observatory hall costs NT$400, which is not really cheap. The entrance is located in 5th floor, from there you will go to the 89th floor within 37 seconds using the fastest elevator in the world. In the observatory hall, basically you can see the view of Taipei from every corner. Beside that, you can see the "Baby Damper", the 650 tons huge balancing ball and there is also outdoor viewing platform, which is open only if the weather is fine.
