Taiwan 2016


First proper day. Wonderful. 
Arrived yesterday, got upgraded to a suite (two rooms, guest bathroom etc)
Went to Longshan temple 

Hoping this ain't what my house looks like when I get back!
It was in an old area of Taiwan with alley ways and all sorts. I went through the herbal medicine laneway and found an old Qing dynasty school which has displays and stuff.


Went to the Taipei zoo afterwards. It had some beautiful animals

Was supposed to be a non-cage zoo I thought.  Sadly it wasn't 

Still, most of the animals had plenty of room. Feel really sad for the birds though.

Going to the Ningxia night markets tonight. This is a food speciality market.

LATER THAT VERY NIGHT
Yep, Ningxia market was definitely good value. I got off at the wrong station but still got there (no comments from the cheap seats please)
Had the famous stinky tofu

There were these old wooden non electric or mechanical poker machines. Kids and all were playing on them.  Earlier in the day I saw some really old pinball machines as well, all wood and hand operated.
