Taiwan - Time Lapse Taipei

Some time lapses movies from around Taipei.

Taiwan - Food

Taiwan has lots of really delicious food to eat. Here's a few photos of some of the strange, interesting and sometimes kind of scary foods that I tried while in Taiwan.

And if anyone is interested, no, I did not eat the stinky tofu. I don't care what what people say, anything that smells that bad can not be good for you.

Beef Noodle Soup.

The white stuff is Tofu. The green black thing is a hundred year old egg, which is an egg that has been soaked in evil. Actually, it's egg that has been soaked for weeks or months in a mud like mixture, which sounds almost as bad as being soaked in evil.

Dumplings

Fried Mushrooms.

Shrimp, Bamboo, Noodle Soup, Noodles, and the really unpleasant looking one in front is Pork, which was pretty good.

Frog

Meat Filled Bun.

I have no idea, but I was told that it was a really famous dish.

Taiwan - Street Markets

I thought that the street markets in Taipei were pretty incredible. You could buy pretty much anything you needed; fresh meat, fish, and vegetables, plus clothing and anything else you could think of. There would be a stand selling raw meat and then right next to it would be a stand selling underwear.

Some kind of preserved duck, I really hate it when my food looks at me.

Chicken. Notice the basket is full of chicken heads.

Fish.

Does he know that he's what's for dinner?

Taiwan - Night Markets

Raohe Street Night Market








Shilin Night Market

When I travel, I have an amazing ability to blend in with the locals no matter where I'm at. You probably couldn't even tell that I'm standing right in the middle of this photo.

Tai Chi in the morning.

Small Temple at the back of Dahu Park.

While walking around Dahu Park I found a interesting looking hiking trail leading into the hills.

Along the trail there were these huge spiders. Really frickin huge, he was probably about 5 or 6 inches across. I would see one and stop to take a photo, then walk a little farther and find one that was even bigger.

Coming back down the hill I slipped on some wet rocks and ended up with this cool souvenir of my trip.
