Taiwan Day 1: Tapei 101

Went to Taiwan 2/3/2011 - 7/3/2011 with a friend who also like me have a few days of leave to clear before end March.

Day 1 (2/3/2011)

Flight from Singapore to HK to Taipei (Cathay Pacific)

-- Oops forgotten to bring HK currency. Even though it is a 1 hr transit, will be nice to have brough HK currency so that we can buy snacks.

Taipei at last! Everyone on the plane was in jackets, well prepared for the weather.

I remembered vividly the government weather bereau that I checked several times forecasted temperature at 18-20 degree in Taipei for the period.... But the outside temperature was 13 degrees!! Hmmm.... it was due to a sudden cold spell as I would learn later.

Checked in Taipei Garden Hotel. Nice hotel that is 10 mins walks from Ximending.

After putting the bags we went to Ximending. At night, we went to Taipei 101. The night was so cold. The highest point of Taipei 101 was shrouded by the clouds. It played peek-a-boo as the clouds flies past.
