Yeah first stage completed: I survived a long 12 hours flight squeezed in a
plane full of Chinese people...I arrived in Taipei! So what is the best thing
to do after a long and exhausting flight ?
Right a City Tour and explore the whole Town! So at the airport I changed
20€ to Taiwanese dollars and I felt like a boss as they returned me 500 dollar
bills :D let the tour begin...
So first I started the guided tour to an old temple. Where you could buy
special "money" which will be available for you in the
"sky" after your death. I just wonder what you can buy with it in
"paradise" ?? But let’s continue.
Strange, but i think the Taiwanese people are in love with ceramic;
everywhere in the city are ceramic pots and vases in every size you could
imagine. So our next stop of the tour was… you can guess.
Yes, a ceramic museum, where they told you the whole story of ceramic from
old historic pots and vases to latest high tech ceramic toilets. But HEY Free
Wifi !!! so finally a great success
After that I went to a food market. The people were very nice and offered
me a lot of different things to eat for free. Whatever I ate, I do not but it
was very good. Finally I bought a warm noodle soup ( in Euro: 50cents )
To see the whole city I went to the Taipei 101, 508 Meter high tower. It
was incredible ( see photos)
My impressions about Taipei: loud, strange music, different culture,
interesting, grey during the day, beautiful at night and very cheap and good
food!
PS: After 2 photos i had to make with some girls I believe that we as European people were like a sort of a sight for the Taiwanese so that during my whole trip i had to make photos with interested Taiwanese people :D mostly shy girls i felt like a Hollywood star :D
