Things in Taiwan move this fast.

As we drove into the city from the airport, we got our first sight of Taipei 101. And a cloudy sky.

Eventually we arrived.

So, Alex took us to Dim Sum at the mall

Karen said that it was very good Dim Sum.

Spoon!!!!! Then we went to Crystal's restaurant if her restaurant were a spoon.

Taipei 101 from the outside, and very close up.

But what was important was getting groceries.

This picture has two things you see a lot of in Taipei.

For the most part, the pictures from Shinlin Night market didn't come out. What you can't see here is a play going on amid people selling fruit in an outdoor market.

There were also fuzzy pictures of the pet row

Where they sell hedge hogs and pigs and dogs and kittens and insects.

We found this temple in the middle of the night market.

Did I mention that it was raining.

But really pretty

Really pretty - just the thing to do after a 13 hour flight.
