Taipei 101

So today I kind of woke early, around 7:30? So this morning, my aunt took my grandma out shopping, while we went to Carrefour again to buy more snacks and what not. I just got more pringles lol. So we left Carrefour and took the Green 2 bus back to my grandma's house, where we caught up with my aunt whose was about to leave for Shinju to take my grandma back to her other place to get some supplies, and that was last that I saw of my aunt. I am really grateful to my aunt because everytime we come back she always takes time out of her busy schedule to take us out. I honestly can say that every time I go back to Taiwan, I always look forward to seeing her haha. So we headed off to eat lunch with two of my parents friends at a 5 star vegetarian restaurant, the stuff was really good :) So we left when the restaurant closed around 2:30. So we decided to head toward 101, since last year I wanted to go but my mom said to wait for my bro and dad to come back. So, we headed to 101, where it was 400 NT to get to the highest floor we could reach that day which was the 89th floor. The elevator was FAST...we reached the top in a matter of seconds, and my ear kept on popping due to the sudden rise in elevation. So we reached the top and to our dismay we could not see a whole lot because it was cloudy that day. We were still able to see Taipei though just not too much of it. So we walked around and took MANY pictures, we also got to see the 'weather damper' which was a huge ball in the middle of the 88th and 89th floor which helps level the 101 during extreme weather such as heavy wind so that its structure won't sway with it. So that was really cool and I bought souvenirs from the gift shop, the whole experience up there was surreal, but hopefully the next time I go it won't be cloudy haha. So we headed down where me and my bro continued to take a butt load of pictures during the maserati and ferrari car show in 101. We walked around 101 until it got dark, we had to go to a Nike store cause my dad need to change his shoes cause his old ones were really wearing out. We then HAD to head home cause grandma made dumplings (which I might add was superb) We didn't get a chance to go to Eslite, which is the biggest bookstore in Taiwan, so hopefully we'll go tomorrow or the day after, without interruption. I plan on going to the nippon blue store behind Taipei Main Station tomorrow, since I almost have enough money to buy another shirt haha.

O yeah I watched a corny kung fu movie called the 5 element ninjas last night, my bro and I laughed so hard watching it that I laughed myself to sleep haha.
