Taipei Day 3

[13.03.2013]

On the third day we went to Jiufen, a small town a little more than 1 hour away from Taipei. Really nice place to walk around and apparently "its downtown was used as a model in the anime (Japanese animation) movie Spirited Away.". No wonder it looked similar!

It was also a good place to get souveniers.








Owls! I bought the smaller black one sitting on the box on the upper left. Should have bought both of them...





Yes, I know...



With Keun Hee.

And with Monica.

When we were eating our dinner clouds attacked the mountain (no kidding it really felt like that :D). They climbed up the mountain side really quickly and in a couple of minutes the whole place was inside the clouds. It was actually a nice experience. (Come on, everybody has wanted to try that as a kid!)

The Spirited Away feeling (1)!

I got a feeling! (2)

Sorry for low resolution.
After coming back from Jiufen I decided to go check out Ximending area, which is a shopping district. Keun Hee and Monica had already done this the day before.

Starbucks. Got the Taipei mug for my collection.
