First days in Taipei

Ok this is our second day in Taipei.
First impression: this is not Japan!!!!
The food is really different. This is pork feet, well I really like that so that's ok!
This is chicken and a lot of things :-)
Well we don't understand everything here!!!
But what I understand is that they have the problems in the subway like in Japan!!!

And today we met my friend Monica and went to Danshui, a nice place with markets and streets with a lot of small shops and places to eat
you can have fresh juices, I took the mango one!
and this is like taiyaki in Japan, filled with custard, so nice!
and here you choose and they do some soup for you!

Seems it's for the tea but I'm not sure:-)
that's the market and yes the scooters can go there so it's a big chaos!!
really big actually :-)
They have also some temples, this one is taoist
very nice with some paintings
and stone carving
they also have some old buildings from the english/spanish/dutch people
funny cats
and yes I have my favorite tea with tapioca!
So nice I really love that!
And the big straw to have them, just perfect!!!
and let's continue with the main thing in Taipei, the food!!
You have street vendors everywhere for everything!
Sweets,...
fruits,...
sweats again,...
fruits again
oh a puddle with a big head
tofu, wonton, fish balls,
and everywhere you can try!!!

Oh my god I have eaten too much!!!!
I need to rest now:-)
