After some late night out in Taipei and a long nap I decided to simply do some random walk in the city … as it was free admission today I visited the Taipei International Flora Exposition and the Taipei Fine Arts Museum featuring the Taipei Biennial 2010. The latter one had some really nice exhibits from Asien as well as international artists and kept me busy for about three hours until the museum closed … some Taiwanese buffet and an early night will finish the day I guess.
East coast, Taroko gorge and wooden bathtubs
After typhoon Megi had washed away parts of the highway going south yesterday, we changed plans and took the train to Hualien and rented a car to drive into the Taroko gorge. Cerntainly worth the efford … quite an amazing gorge with marble all over the place, a few temples along the way and lots of waterfalls …
After coming back to Taipei I finally got into my hotel room I have booked since Friday and which has a wooden bathtub … yeah right!
Typhoon updates
As typhoon Megi passes by I just read that yesterday on the east coast and in Taipei we had as much rain in one day as we typically have in Germany in one year … more than 700 mm!
Today it looks much better and we’ll try to get to some gorges further south.
