I don't really have much of a story to tell today. We've had a pretty quiet life here this week, just working and living. Watching some World Cup in Chinese which is interesting. Doing some shopping and some eating. We did go to the night market on Friday and Karaoke yesterday, both of which were really fun but I haven't downloaded the pictures yet so those stories are yet to come.So I just wanted to post some pictures here, give people a little glimpse of what daily life is about for us now. Enjoy the pictures!
The pink ATM room with pigs I wrote about in a previous post. So cute!
Community gardens are all around here. It's strange because they are right in the middle of all the high rise fancy apartments and shops. I wonder how you get a plot in here. I sure do miss gardening.
An intersection near Taipei Main Station. There's a lot of shopping everywhere you look here.
A strange Save the Panda expo I saw one day while walking around the city.
Some roasted ducks for sale. I particularly liked the one near the middle that was looking straight ahead. Also note the large squids for sale on the counter. We'd just eaten so we didn't try any of the food but I'm sure the roasted duck was delicious.
A temple we walked by. Every now and then, on a certain day many of the shops and temples burn paper money outside. This was one of those days. I think it is for luck but don't know for sure. I'll have to ask someone about it.
Scooters, scooters everywhere!
I guess that's it for now. Hope everyone at home is doing well!
