台北车站->故宫博物院->渔人码头->淡水老街->台北101->诚品信义旗舰店
If you think Dhoby Ghaut station is confusing, then you will faint at the sight of Taipei main station. It has 8 different exits that are so far away from each other, it took us one hour to look for a particular exit!!!!! *almost peng san* If you are unfamilar with the MRT in Taiwan, please do not choose Taipei main station as meeting point, or you will cry.
Anyway, after an hour of unintentional hide and seek, we managed to find HL, my ex-colleague who is staying in Taipei for the next 2 years with her hubby. We strolled down underground Metro Mall, bought some yummy looking cakes, and got some travel pointers from her before departing for National Palace Museum.
National Palace Museum is a place for you to marvel at the intelligent and intricate works of the ancestors. It would be great to visit it on a weekday morning, before it's invaded by noisy loud spoken tourists from some countries *cough*.
Although weather looked gloomy we still tried our luck to travel down Dan Shui. Heard from Xuan's aunt that the sunset was really beautiful at the Fishermen’s Wharf, but alas, the time was really not right, all we saw was a piece of dreary looking sky.=( To me, there’s nothing special about Dan Shui, like so many other tourist places in Taiwan, it is another place for buying snacks. I am not sure how keen I am to return to this place just to catch the sunset.
At 9+pm, met PW, a friend currently doing masters in journalism over there, we were hoping to view the night scenery
from Taipei 101, only to be barred entry from the building.
Something must have happened as the media was doing their live
reporting outside the building. PW said one have to pay to get to the 89th
floor of Taipei 101, oh well; I rather spend the money elsewhere. =p It was a pity we went to Eslite flagship a bit late, some of the floors were already closed when we reached.

Nevertheless, we had fun chilling out at the café at Eslite...
Pic 1: The Metro Mall @Taipei main station is like artists' playground,
when all the shops are close, you see paintings of places all around the world!
And this background is just one of them=)
