Day 7 - Up into the Mountains

Today we were driven by Julia to a shopping mall called Miramar in Neihu which has a Ferris Wheel. I bought a Canadian shirt. We then went to the former residence of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek (蔣介石) in Taipei's Shilin district. This was full of beautiful gardens including a Rose garden.

After this, we went to the HOT SPRINGS! For $200 Taiwan dollars I spent I got a private room with a hot springs bath for 40 minutes... It was a really good experience and one that I would like to try again.

After this excitement we had teppanyaki at a local restaurant, it was a very quick meal which was cooked right in front of us. I chose prawn & chicken. It also came with been sprouts and cabbage. rice and a post-mix drink. All this for only $190 Taiwan dollars!

Finally, Sean and I caught the MRT to Elaines house where we have been catching up over a Bailey's and some Taiwanese snacks......
