Early mornin' mountains
The subway car to the hotsprings was weirdly fancy. They had these Harry Potter moving pictures and everything.

At the zoo, these monkeys have gotten really good at stealing food from passersby
Tapirs are surely the weirdest looking animals
A sun bear!
Even the zoo was poo-obsessed
Lemurin'
I CAUGHT THIS GUY POOPIN
The most hippos I ever done seen. These guys had a huuuuge complex, and yet they all chose to hang out right here.
Who has the longest neck?
Nevermind. Pengolin's are the weirdest animals

There's a LEGO themed Restaurant in Taipei. We unfortunately weren't anywhere near it during opening hours, but I loved their storefront.
Cute lantern-filled street near the hostel
Longshan Temple
Inside the temple
It's weird that there's cash registers and a gift shop in here.

Yeah this sure looks like it's worth waiting 2 hours for
The museum from the outside
My favorite work in the whole place.
This store was full of those little coin operated toy dispense things you see near the exits of supermarkets back home. THAT'S ALL THEY HAD.
This is the Presidential Offices in Taiwan. Basically the "white house" of this country.
Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall
You can see how it was inspired by the Lincoln Memorial
