Around Taipei

Haha so I said I was gonna try and blog everyday while in Taiwan but i already broke that, so yesterday. Basically, I had a tough time sleeping the other night...I think I woke up at 2am due to jet lag, then went back to sleep at 10am until 12pm, then went out around Taipei. I didn't have money on me at the moment, since my grandma usually gives me chinese new year money in advance since i only visit in December, so i dont have any NT (Taiwan currency) to spend for myself. So I mainly window shopped.  I took the bus to Wangfang Hospital, where i then took the metro to ZhongXiao Fuxing stop, where Pacific Sogo was. I usually hang around the 10th floor cause as a kid i went there for the toys, now as a young adult i go there for the sports apparel and electronics. There wasnt much there that appealed in terms of clothes, but I did manage to get my bro something for all his troubles of correcting my essay. Afterwards, my mom wanted to visit an old friend at a bank, and I got to drink some delicious bank coffee :) And since the bank was close to Taipei 101, we headed over there as well.  There isn't a lot to buy in Taipei 101 if your like me, since most of their stuff are top of line clothes with an additional price tag just cause its in Taipei 101, but visiting Taipei 101 is always nice though=) We then checked out a department store right across the street from Taipei 101 called New York New York, and i got to say their second floor is pretty awesome. The them of that floor was creative design, so the whole floor was filled with awesome and cool stuff definitely going back there before i leave X) Well after that we headed back to rest since we were tired and yea that was that day.

Today, my grandma and aunt are coming up from Xing Zhu at around 6pm so thats gonna be super cool, I think I heard my mom say something about going somewhere tomorrow.   Anyways we had nothing to do until 6pm, so I decided I want to go to the Taipei Zoo, since I have intense interest in animals. I got to say that zoo is HUGE and really cool too. I think its the only zoo i know of that has a library inside it. Anyways the animals are always fun to watch. There were a lot of little kids there since their schools were having field trips there. Well I got something for a friend at the zoo since his birthday was coming up and he really likes pandas, and a gift for another friend cause the present made me laugh a lot and it fit right into what my friend is like: making me laugh a lot. I plan to get more stuff for a couple of friends but we'll see how that goes. In the mean time, I think I'm gonna rest for the day and wait for my grandma and aunt to arrive which should be like in 4 hrs, since i always get excited when i meet people haha. Thats it for now, hopefully ill be able to check in tomorrow=P
