We decided to have a chilled out day today, just taking in the city around us and going for long walks (with my newly smooth face.) First port of call was the Taipei 101 building. To be honest, I didn't know it was the tallest building in the world until only a few months ago. If someone had asked me back then I probably (ashamedly) would have said The Empire State Building (which hasn't been for quite a respectable length of time, in fact it has been topped by 5 or 6 since it's days of glory.) We headed in and into the elevator to take us up to the 89th floor. If you had blinked you would have missed it. The journey took enough time for a cat to sneeze. Seriously, I couldn’t believe it. Although, I couldn’t believe it so much, that it took me a while to believe that they had actually taken us to the 89^th

floor and hadn’t just put on some elaborate ruse. It was pretty cool though, even though there was a lot of cloud cover. The rest of the day we just walked around for miles, eventually heading back to the hotel for a well earned rest.
