Discovering Taipei

28 10 2007

Not too many people travel to Taiwan for vacation…

And I have to honestly say, that I wasn’t expecting much when we went last weekend, but I was quite pleasantly surprised. Taipei was exciting, trendy, vibrant city with tons to do, a strong cultural connection, and a real cosmopolitan energy.

We stayed with our fabulous friends in a neighborhood called Tianmu just at the base of the mountains:

enjoyed a fabulous night market:

saw some scary meats:

and some cool traditional snacks:

went to the beach:

went to the top of the tallest building in the world, the Taipei 101:

and hiked in the mountains to see some active geysers:

All in all, it was a very cool place to visit! Check it out if you get the chance!
