Taiwan Day 2 - Part 1

Well, we're back already from our trip to Ilha Formosa (Taiwan). It was really fun out there. I tried to upload my pics everyday for everyone to see but wasn't able to. So I will be doing that here now. Here's our 2nd day in Taiwan.

The Miramar Taipei Hotel


We decided to go walking at 9am. It was so hot that Daph and I decided to rest up and get away from the heat at Barista Coffee.






This was the view from where we sat on the second floor of the coffee house. I know its really hard to see but its a Rolex store (immediate left) and an Omega store (with the red banner across the street). We went to check out the Rolex store. It was kind of odd how right when we walked in, the saleswoman was on us like white on rice!!!! She even called the other saleswomen to tell her we were on our way up to the 2nd floor. They must try really hard to get that sale. We also did some shopping at Sogo department store but to save myself a little embarrasment, I decided not to go up in there taking pictures.



On our way back to the hotel Daph and I walked back to the hotel and found this hole in the wall shop in an alley that sold roasted duck. It was really good.

I was really thinking about buying a rolex but I couldn't find any that really jumped out at me. Hmmm....maybe I'll try to find something else.
