I'm back from Asia with mountains of photos and cool do-dads. Unfortunately, I had to cut my trip a little short, and I wasn't able to go to Japan. But, I still had a great time in Taiwan!
If you're ever in Taipei here's a list of things to do:
- monuments! I know this can sound boring but their monuments are gorgeous and really remind me of DC
-eat dumplings at Din Tai Fung
- try a traditional hotpot
-check out creative parks (especially Huashan 1914)
- see (red) pandas at the zoo
-Temples (especially during Ghost Week)
Check it out, my seven day trip to Taiwan:
