Day 5 - Taipei to Danshui to Jhongli

Today we caught the MRT to the main station again and met yvonne at maccas. Had a happy meal while I was waiting, I can confirm that they taste the same here in Taiwan.

When Yvonne arrived we took the ooprtunity to look at another department store which is near the train station, called Mitsukoshi Department Store. It is apparently Japanese. It is similar to David Jones in Australia. We didn't buy anything although I nearly bought a harrod's bag.

We then met two of yvonne's friends and had lunch at Vietnamese restaurant in the newly built area in the train station - on the top level.

After all of this, we caught the MRT to Danshui a northern area to the northern edge of outer Taipei - this is where the river meets the ocean. We went up an old street and saw a lot of shops and went to a "Believe it or not" show/museum. I also bought a fake sportsac bag. We seemed to do a lot of eating as during this walk, we ate a beancurd, ginger dessert and at another place, a special local meal which consisted of tofu with noodles inside (looked like a animal's organ). After all of this caught a train back to CBD and I went with Julie & Julia to a clothing area; while sean and yvonne caught up with Scott and went to another fishing store to purchase a reel. The shopping area had HEAPS of clothing although not much of it that I liked and the ones I did were not in my size. I did end up buying two tops and a scarf.

Finally we caught a train home to Yvonnes place where we will spend the next 2 nights.
