Dan and Delaney's Taiwan Trip: Last Day

There was a koi pond out front

This was a stone horse head statue

The front of the museum

The airport had some fun statues

'Kung Fu Massage'? I need that!

Dan and Delaney's Taiwan Trip: Day 3

The breakfast buffet had lots of choices from noodles to fruit and rolls and other fun stuff.

This was a quick shot on the metro line down to the zoo.

The water pump was worth a jiggle.

She was mugging left and right for the first hour or two.

Make sure you look at this one closely.  This was the most illustrative sign I saw in Taipei.  Message is priceless.

The lounging bear was inviting this kind of pose.

The inside museum was a highlight.  Much fewer people and 100% shade.

??.  She was feelin' it so I snapped the picture.

A stuffed elephant.

These stationary things were popular.

The backside of the Taipei temple.  It was closed for cleaning that week.

My favorite picture of the trip.  I can't believe what a lucky Dad I am.

Obligatory Moroni statue shot.

The Shalin Night Market.  CROWDED!

Did I tell you it was crowded?

This was like something out of a CNN Asia special or documentary.  We were lucky to find an empty seat.  People walking constantly around these low end cook and eat right in front of you places.

Shrimp rolls and pan friend dumplings.  She ate fried rice.  This was the third time she ordered fried rice on the trip.  She did try things, but in small doses.

Dan and Delaney Taiwan Trip: Day 2

We saw some interesting things on the way to the mall.

A display of 'Tsum Tsums"(Delaney's friend's favorite thing in the world)

The sheep display in front of the stores. The shops weren't open yet when we got there

The Taipei 101 Mall. You could go all the way to the top if you wanted.  We wanted!

A shrine we saw when we were walking around waiting for the mall to open

This was what was inside it

I don't even know what this was

Alice in Wonderland things in the mall

We saw some cute chairs in a shop

"For Narnia!"

We saw this cool mannequin in the Taipei 101 mall

We did go to the top and the view was amazing!

Delaney posing at one of the windows

The inevitable "I was there" selfie

This was a huge ball hoisted up with the thickest rope I've ever seen

This random giant mirror in a lot

The menus at 'The Modern Toilet'

The bathroom was labeled 'VIP Lounge'

The food of the people next to us

Our food was tasty

Did I say tasty?

The whole place was awesome

Last picture there

Dan and Delaney Taiwan Trip: Day 1

Dan had a hankering to go to Taiwan. Delaney wanted to take a trip for her birthday.  So they went to Taiwan and left on her birthday.  Here I am dropping them off at the airport to begin their adventure.

They arrived safely and here is Delaney on the express train into Taipei!  

Delaney was more adventurous than usual.  Here are some spicy noodles at a street vendor's stand.

Lots of markets in Taipei.  This one was mostly clothes.

The city was crowded but had some parks like this one that were visitor friendly.

Delaney could not get enough of this contraption lifting her own weight.

Our first night market.  This one had lots of fish and electronics.  Not necessarily together.

Apple soda, fried rice with pork and noodles.  This whole meal was just under $14.  Yum!

An example the cool fish setups we saw at our first night market.
