Shopping

I have to admit that Taipei has fantastic shopping when it comes to clothes and electronics (although I dislike the word "shopping" as I associate it with overconsumption and impulsive purchases). There are many markets and malls (you can buy a shirt from 100 NT dollar or 10000 NT dollar).

Today was a really hot day, about 32 C. I bought an umbrella that was broken after two minutes. Yay quality...not) so we went to some malls where we for sure have AC. We also went to a place to have dessert. I had shaved ice with mango, not very complicated but lovely in the heat.

However, places that I've been to so far are:

• Shi da night market by He Ping Road. Very good street food! Fancy stores.
• Ximen- there is everything here from street tattoo to fruit drinks.
• Wufenpo by Houshanpi station. A place completely drowned in clothes. Very cheap- if one know how to bargain.
• Shilin night market. The fried chicken here is sooo good!
• Taipei main station.
• eslite mall.
• Taipei 101. Very exclusive shops. I mean it.

At Ximen. So crowded with people and shops.
