Taipei: Thru My Lens




































































Just a few snaps from my recent trip to Taipei, Taiwan:
  • Picture 1: Jen found in the lonely planet this little cafe called Chocoholic. It was sensational and I definitely recommend you find it if you are ever in Taipei.
  • Picture 2: One of the trees at the Confucius temple. It's a pretty cool shot and makes me excited for Cambodia!
  • Picture 3: Inside the Confucius Temple- it was my favorite, actually.

  • Picture 4: A snap from the Taipei Eye -- an acrobatic show and Peking Opera

  • Picture 5: One of the characters in the Peking Opera. He reminded me of a character from something else, but I couldn't put my finger on who!
  • Picture 6: Me at the Opera wearing a traditional Taiwanese hat.
  • Picture 7: Longshan Temple. One of the more famous ones in Taipei. We went at 5 pm when it was super busy. This is when people bring offerings of: food, flowers, money, etc.
  • Picture 8: Inside the Taipei 101. This picture was taken with the wind damper. Yes, you may ask "What the heck is that" -- it's used to offset movements in the building caused by strong gusts of wind.
  • Picture 9: A view of the busy street from the world's tallest building.
  • Picture 10: Taipei 101 from a distance. The World's tallest building since 2004.
  • Picture 11: Memorial Hall
  • Picture 12: Tien-Ho Temple. It said in the lonely planet that "if you blinked your eyes, you might miss out on Tien-Ho". We loved it!
