Park

Turns out the biggest park in Taipei is pretty accessible, and it is famous for its foot massage path. The guidebooks recommend taking off your shoes, but that kind of hurt. I recommend thin-soled shoes. There's two different sections, the first is wider-spaced and harder to walk on. The second section, the rocks are closer together.

Taipei 101

Some pictures of Taipei 101--until this year, the tallest building in the world--and views from the observatory deck on the 89th floor. The high-speed pressurized elevator inside the building travels 1,010 meters/minute and it takes only 37 seconds to go from the 5th to 89th floors.

One of the coolest things about it is that the colors on the building each night are different depending what day of the week it is. I went on a Friday, which means, blue.

Monday - Red

Tuesday - Orange

Wednesday - Yellow

Thursday - Green

Friday - Blue

Saturday - Indigo

Sunday - Violet
