Wednesday23rdMay07

Today I went to my Mandarin class (picked up about a quarter of what was being said) then went to Taipei with my roommate. She disappeared for a month and now she's back, and it's fantastic. I really missed her and her blunt, to the point (and sometimes downright scary) Russianess.


We spent most of our time wandering around Peace Park, watching the variety of people it attracts (and spending far too much time in awe of the fish.) Then we did the touristy must and headed to Taipei 101. Turned out she'd never been there and we certainly picked a good day to go.


The last couple of times I went it was pretty cool to see, but visibility was not amazing. Today you could see all the surrounding mountains and horizons, made even more stunning by the fiery glow from the setting sun.


Later we met met up with another friend and went out to a fairly chilled bar for the evening. Played a few games and chilled out with friends, nice way to spend the evening.
