Taipei Zoo on 19 Feb

It's an interesting place for kids and adults to visit. Compared to our Singapore zoo, it may be smaller but it's affordable at 60NTD (SGD 2.60).

Cute christmas tree

Cute birds

I like dragonflies

Wufenpu (afternoon of 18 Dec)

Wufenpu is a place where one can get clothes and fashionable stuff at wholesale price.

We had yummy lunch at this popular eatery which serves porky dishes and other food.

18 Dec in Beitou

We didn't soak in any public hot spring bath at all in Beitou - we just merely admired the view :)

Pretty lotus

Even the weeds are pretty

Japanese architecture for one of the houses open for viewing
(I'm quite a lousy tourist as in
I don't bother to read about the history of the place.
I'm just interested in the food, shopping,
having a good time with my friends and
taking photos of pretty things)

Beitou Thermal Valley - it was a bit warm
and we could smell sulphur in the air.

17 Dec in Danshiu and Fisherman's wharf

Breakfast @ Dante Cafe

Many people praying @ Long Shan Temple

Friendly cat in the temple

Entrance to Danshiu Old Street 

Interesting shop selling sweets and toys
that I remember seeing when I was a kid

Lovely scene @ Fisherman's Wharf
