taiwan

for reading week, my friends henrik, relina, yuki and i decided to go to taipei! we spent four awesome days exploring the city and eating a truckload of local food :)

at hong kong international airport - me, relina, yuki, henrik.

happy pandas.

the view from our window.

once we had dropped off our luggage, we headed straight for the world's tallest bulding - taipei 101.

we then went to shiling night market where they had a temple...

...and yummy beef noodles!

cream puff.

on day two, we visited long shan temple.






freedom square.

xiao long bao...

...tofu crumbs in honey-soy-sauce, prwan noodle soup and sauteed spinach.





on day three we headed to juifen despite rainy weather.

this old japanese settlement inspired the movie "spirited away".





beef noodles and stewed tofu. soooo good.

come nighttime, we went to explore our neighborhood a bit more. this is the temple in our backyard.


on day four, we went hiking, saw the city from above and tea plantations.

view from the 9th floor of sogo, a japanese department store.


dr. sun yat sen memorial hall.


taipei 101.

screw this milk scandal - melamine ain't got nothing' on me!

in the evening, we made it to the seaside just in time for sunset!
