12 hours in Taipei

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
