Day 1 - Taipei





Flight Over touchdown in Taipei

After a long trip from our respective homes to Taipei Taiwan, we burnt a little steam off riding the Taipei Ferris Wheel. It was a great way to see the night views of Taipei and just relax.

Dinner in the Market

After finishing the Ferris Wheel, it was time to finally eat. In the local market place we partook of a local dining experience, which consisted of some good rice and some various meets. It was a refreshing meal and fun to get back into the open markets of Asia. The gentleman sitting next to me took it upon himself to train me on the proper use of chopsticks.

Night Market

At night it is customary for everyone to come out and visit the Night Markets. These markets are fun to peruse through and shop. This is an absolute must for people who visit Taipei, very fun.

Hotel

The hotel was a standing joke throughout the trip. We took a chance and arrived in Taipei rolling the dice on a hotel. The hotel was fine for what we paid, but it was definitely a part of the overall memory of the trip.

Seeing Scotty and Harris crammed into one bed was hilarious and yet they were really good sports about that portion of the night. It was also the night that they were introduced to my horrible snoring habit, which caused Harris to go purchase noise canceling headphones to deter the sound of my sawing.
