"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain

Day 2: Taipei 101



On New Year's Day we slept in and went to lunch at a very good Mongolian restaurant. Presentation is very huge for some restaurants. First we were served raw vegetables that we cooked in our own little pots of soup. Next we were given raw meat and seafood that we also cooked in the little pots. It was amore expensive meal, but they kept bringing us food. We also got rice pudding, ice cream and green tea.





After our meal we rode the MRT to the Taipei 101 Tower. It is technically the tallest building in the world. On Monday there will be a taller building opening in Dubai. There is a beautiful mall in the lower 5 floors and a food court in the basement. It was very cloudy the day we went, but you could still see a lot. We spent a couple hours and didn't leave until it was dark out.


After visiting Taipei 101 we came back to the youth center for the evening.


Zaijian!
