Day 7.5 of our trip... I think. It rained or was overcast most of our 2 days in Taipei. I'm still trying to grasp who Taipei is. It may take some time. We do know it's a land of countless mopeds and Mister Donuts.
Before heading to the National Museum we made our first stop in Shilin to grab a late breakfast. First meal: steak and eggs over pasta. Let me write that again- steak and eggs over pasta. We weren't at Denny's and quite honestly it may have been our best meal in Taipei. Served on a sizzling stone plate diners protected themselves from the stone sizzle with napkins when their meals first arrived.
Next stop the National Palace Museum. A museum filled with endless gilded bronze Buddha statues, a small lush garden, and a chicken coop.
Into a deep rain we headed to the Danhai market area where we were promised tasty street food. There we found Coney Island-esque street
bites that I expected more from. Fried this, and fried that.
We ended our investigation of Shilin's nocturnal flea market of and headed to a beer garden where we finished the night with garlic and beer.
We've arrived in Bangkok. After 2am street food last night this town looks very promising. VERY.
