The mall is filled with stores of luxury goods, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co., Prada, Gucci. You name it, it's there. My cousin joked to me, of the 4 shop floors, the higher the floor, the more expensive it gets!

Taipei 101
You know you are a tourist if you told people that you went to Taipei 101 (Is it still the tallest building in the world?!) when you were in Taipei and took cheesy photos. But really, other than tourists, we didn't see many locals there.

古亭 to 台大
Two places that are close to my heart during my earlier years in Taiwan are 古亭國小 (Gu Ting Elementary School) and 台大 (National Taiwan University).
The former is where I spent 6 years of my younger life prior to coming to New Zealand, and the latter, not for the reason that I was educated there (I am probably not good enough to get in, anyway), is where our family spent every Sunday morning playing sports, followed by McDonald's breakfast across the road. Memories~
On our trip back this October, we took the MRT, then walked from 古亭 to 台大.
The 7-Eleven is still there, and the route is still the same as I last walked it 20 years ago...

阿宗!! Ay-Chung!!
Think Taiwan, think night markets and food! Well, to us, 阿宗麵線 (Ay-Chung vermicelli), was one of the best! Took us a while to find it in 西門町 (Xi-Meng-Ting), but it was well worth it!
There are no seats so people either stand or crouch and eat in the crowd outside the shop! For NT$55 (less than NZ$2.50).. 滑潤的麵線，配上香香QQ的大腸及柴魚、筍絲等材料，熬製而成的阿宗麵線 吃的時候，再添上香菜或九層塔，淋上一點阿宗調製的辣醬!!!! Ohhhh baby!!!!
Someone went for seconds later that night!
