Days 5 & 6: Photos

1. Not really the kind of thing one needs embroidered on the back of one's top, surely?

2. The Dandy Hotel exterior.

3. Every brightly lit sign spruiks a different bar. (And this is just one of three near-identical lanes near the Dandy.) The paucity of bottle shops in Taipei would have you believe they're light drinkers, but don't be fooled.

4. Look closely for the rows of pot plants at street level.

5. The Paris end of Zhongshan North Road Section 2. Easily the nicest street I've seen in Taipei. Chiang Kai-Shek used this street to get to work every day during his time in Taiwan. All traffic would stop and bystanders would salute as he made his way to and from the Official Residence in Shilin. Not bad.

6. Good, if grumpy, coffee.
