day 3

Mrt:
Took a train to the Taipei Zoo and the trains are pretty much like the ones back at home except maybe wider/longer. One interesting thing was that the waiting area to board the mrt was drawn out and passengers had to wait within the lines haha

Taipei Zoo:
Okaye firstly the zoo didn't feel like one it felt like a theme park except w/o rides IT WAS HUGE I'M TELLING YOU not like the one in sg, so tiny. I went to see Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan the 2 pandas OH MY GOSH they looked so adorbz but mostly silly too HAHA went around looking at the other animals, most of which sg has too. But the sad thing was animals such as wolves, leopards, they were all alone in their enclosure.. no companions for them :( so sad. I felt kinda sad looking at the animals in their 'cages'. Ate macs which tasted pretty much the same as the ones in sg then took a train to.......

Taipei 101:
THIS PLACE IS LIKE DA KOOLEST I KID YOU NOT. The first few storeys were shops, and by shops I mean high class branded shops like Prada etc which were frequented by Mainland tourists, of course. Went all the way to the 89th storey in a lift and it took less than a minute #KOOLFACTOR1.0 from afar the windows were all white but once you went closer to the glass you could see Taipei at the bottom I COULD SEE THE TAOYUAN AIRPORT esp with the binoculars... Wow I felt so big for once #KOOLFACTOR2.0 I saw the huge damper in the middle of the building which apparently prevents it from swaying to up till 40% made entirely out of silver I think what baffles me is how they installed it there hmm #KOOLFACTOR3.0 next, this is the koolest part, literally, WE WENT TO THE OUTDOOR OBSERVATORY ON THE 91st storey and boy, I swear I could feel moisture in the air. Had a YOLO moment when I half crossed a barrier that said 'caution strong winds, do not cross' WADDUP

Shilin Night Market:
Took a mrt to the night market and went underground to have dinner FINALLY TASTED LOCAL FARE that beef...... Oh mann. Unforgettable. Bought the 鸡pa thingy (omg I suck idk which pa it is omg I'm a disgrace to my parents omg) DAMN BIG LIKE THE SIZE OF 3 PALMS and a half (my palms that is) went to window shop and got hipster socks for RR and I. The things here are kinda expensive :(

Later:
Got lost in Taipei Railway Station its not funny the signs were in Chinese and in TRADITIONAL CHINESE and the place is huge seriously like what Vivo City except there's an underground part too plus 4 underground malls connected omg. I think some ppl actually live inside yknow. There are so many random places to hide and sleep.
