Day 3, Jan 19th, was probably one of our sunniest and warmest days. We chose this lovely sunny day to go to the Taiwan Exhibition buildings and see area that was setup to showcase Taiwan to the international community. It's a nice open area that has some gardens for walking around and has plenty of families with children and tourists. The whole setup is a park with these different green areas and some cafes and the exhibition buildings are grouped in one area. The admission into the expo buildings is quite reasonable (about 60-150 TWD depending on the show) and showcase some pretty nifty technology as well. Each of the buildings has some neat and different architecture and the combination of that and the green space makes for some lovely photography. The three expos we watched were the Taipei Pavilion, Future Pavilion, and the Pavilion of Dreams.
For lunch, we went back to downtown area and Mel's dad took us to a Taiwanese stall for stewed pork rice, deep fried shrimp sticks, fried tofu and fish ball soup. Each of the dishes were about $0.5 - $2 CAD.
Taking a walk around downtown, we walked by Taipei 101 again and considered going for the tour, but decided to go on a different day when the line-up was smaller.
Did you know there is an Occupy Taipei?
For dinner, we hit the night market (A new one this time, will try to find the name).
