We took another trip to Taipei yesterday, just the two of us. It was a mission for us since almost nobody here can speak english. We had lunch at Starbucks and checked out 101 which is a very high building (used to be the highest in the world for a couple of years ago).
After that we did some more shopping. We took the metro to Zhongxiao Dunha only we had a little incident on the way. We suddenly realized that we were at our stop and that we had to get off the train. Linda who was closest to the door rushed off and was so happy that she made it that she forgot that I was with her. She then heard me screaming "nooo... I won't make it.....". The doors were closed and the train set off. Good thing for us that we are not "blondes". Two minutes later we laughed our heads off as we saw each other again. Linda saw me straight away as I was the only white person on the crowded train!
We had a beautiful dinner at IKEA. Meatballs. Not very cultural but good as hell. We took the elven bus back to Hsinchu. "The Death Ride" is what I would call it. The bus driver was crrrraaazzy. He took over all cars and even the bus that had left Taipei ten minutes before us. He even had a battle with another bus. Of course our driver won. The funny thing is that when we got off the bus and had to pay we realized that he was the kindest driver we had ever met.
When we got got home we were prepared for Linda's brothers comments on our bargains. We we're right ha said exactly what we thought he was gonna say; ugly, pyjamas, dog shoes, and so on and so on! But we know that he likes them in his heart ! hahaha
