    Making Wishes at Shifen Old Street

    It was raining again. We made our way to Shifen Old Street (十分老街) for some street snacks and sky lanterns. With the rail tracks built in between the rows of shops, we had to jump out of the way when we heard the train coming. It was quite a sight to see people leaping from the tracks to safety together!

    Stuffing our Faces at Modern Toilet (restaurant)

    Taiwan, like Japan, is home to plenty of themed restaurants. We visited one called 'Modern Toilet'. How the toilet theme as a restaurant can be successful eludes me, but there appears to be still plenty of customers even after being around for 11 years! We visited the Ximending outlet since we were staying close by.
