More exploring in Taipei

Yesterday BainBain showed me the language center at National Tiawan University, where I can meet and study with other students. We also visited East Taipei, which is a modern commercial district. We saw the Taipei 101 Building; the tallest completed skyscraper in the world (a taller one is being built in Dubai, but it is not yet finished). We also spent several hours in the Eslite bookstore, which is the largest 24-hour bookstore in Taiwan. It seemed to have an endless number of books, in both Chinese and English. After lots of hard work book browsing BainBain and I took a coffee break in a posh cafe inside the bookstore.

This is a view from BainBain's apartment balcony. The skyscraper on the left is Taipei 101 and the large building at the end of the wide street on the right is the library of National Taiwan University.
