Too much walking in the heat. I should relax watching tv, but Taiwanese tv is amazingly bad. All I do when it’s the time is watch Korean variety programs and music shows… even when they’re the same I watched the prior night. LOL

Finally in Taipei… looks like a whole new country~ Looking forward to shopping for clothing here LOL

Also, can’t believe this is a hotel.

Don’t blame me, but I had some ramen tonight. I thought I was done photographing food… I guess not. I had some insides of fish in the afternoon alongside some peppered snails… there’s a first time for everything~

Still not used to Taiwanese streets…

Can’t get used to not having a sidewalk…

I couldn’t help myself and grabbed a Shiseido pamphlet while night shopping. LOL

I think I have previously described Taiwan as a very unique mix of Japan, China with a dash of Hawaii. Now for the Jurassic Park fans, you’d know that the movie was partly shot in the island… and traveling through the southern part of Taiwan I’ve felt velociraptors are about to jump at me at any minute.

That’d be the time of your life.

Tonight’s spot in the county is this:

and then we’re heading back up all the way to Taipei in the next few days.

We’re in Kaohsiung, still heading south. The plan is to still head south and then head back up through eastern Taiwan all the way to Taipei.
