Life

Weather has been quite rainy the past few days.  Reminds me of Seattle, but when it rains here, it rains very hard.  The past few days have been fairly low key.  A lot of eating, shopping and walking to different areas within Taipei.  

I haven't been taking many pictures, but rather been experiencing the everyday life of a young person in Taiwan.  Bowling, dancing, singing, eating, you name it.  People here enjoy doing everything.
  
View of Taipei from the freeway.  Can you guess which building is Taipei 101??

Taipei 101, for now the tallest building in the world (officially).  Also has the fastest elevator in the world.  At 55 ft/second, your ears will definitely pop on the way up.

Dinner in the mountains at a Tea House.  Outside of the city, life is very quiet and relaxing.

Making dumplings at a shopping center cafeteria.  Cafeteria food here is AMAZING.  In fact, everywhere you go the food is delicious.

One of many plates from yet another buffet.  They had testicles at this place, but I wasn't brave enough to try it.
