two girls vs. taipei (we won!)

Beth and I finally got to Taipei, like we'd been planning to do for weeks. We were feeling ambitious and excited so we planned a lot for the day! You really do need a good 7-8 hours in this city in order to get yourself around and to all of the wonderful sights.

Stop #1: Taipei 101 (it wasn't really a clear day, but we were there so we thought 'why not!'). This was a totally Asian version of the CN Tower (without a glass floor, as my nephew was quick to point out!).



Stop # 2: The Van Gogh Exhibit (totally worth it, although the wait was silly and inside was pretty much madness).

Stop #3: Ximen (shoe shopping-- finally!).


... so by the end of the day, we were tired! With a hazy view of the city, an art history lesson and some new shoes... we had done it!
