Returning from the Motherland
Returned home this morning from a week-long trip to the Motherland. Because MM planned on going there for business this week, we decided to head out a week earlier and do some sightseeing! It has been quite a while since MM and I have been there--more than a decade--and so things naturally have been quite different.
We stayed at the Grand Hyatt in the Shin-Yi District, right next to the Taipei City Hall and Taipei 101, the tallest skyscraper in the World. We visited many of the sights in Taipei, including the National Palace Museum, Shi-Lin Night Market, Danshui, Fisherman's Wharf, Long-Shan Temple, the Presidential Palace, Chiang Kai Shek Memorial, Sun-Yat Sen Memorial, and a few other places.
One of the cool things about Taipei is the admixture of modern and historical architecture.
The best part of the trip was all the yummy food that we were able to have there...but I'll let MM post about that!

Thanks, Mr. Moc. Yes, I'll definitely blog and post pictures of food once I'm back in the U.S. --MM
Did you find any good Xian Shu Ji vendors on the side of the road? Did you also see any good chinglish/engrish signs? I wonder if there is a place or someone that compiles them, they are just too funny.
I'm not sure about Xian Shu Ji, but there were certainly plenty of vendors everywhere. Food is the best there!
There were plenty of chinglish, but the funniest ones were on T-shirts!
Too bad I didn't take any pix of those, heh!
HEY!! I spy KITTY! Ooh I can't wait to see more pictures!! Welcome home, Mr MOC
