Day 4 - Tour guide Scott in Taipei

Another day in Taipei as we caught the MRT to Taipei main station all by ourselves! We made it to the meeting point by the prescribed time and picked up by Scott for our adventure! Drive to Illy for a coffee (YUM) after that we drove to computer market and walked around this area (again) - Sean bought a video card and I bought a 8 gig SD card for my EEEPC. I think I got a bargain - less than $50. We seemed to do a lot of driving...

Lunch was at a local food cafe which specialised in deep fried pork, this meal was very tasty and only cost 90 Taiwan Dollars (about 3 bucks).

We then went to Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall (now called freedom hall) there was previously the old president's body there and guards - well guarding it, the changing of the guard was apparently "something to see" although the current president has removed the body and there is no longer the guards - so was not as expected. Although, still interesting to view...

Tonight for dinner we went with Scott & Elaine to a famous Japanese Hot Pot Restaurant - a very interesting experience! This was followed by another fishing tackle store where sean had an extended discussion (through translators) about fishing in Taiwan & Australia. After this, on the way home, the guys had pearl milk tea, followed by MRT safely home. Tomorrow is yet to be planned, hopefully things will be organised SOON! I ave had a headache for the past few days which went away about lunch time! I hope it stays away now.....
