Pictures from Taipei day 8: Harrods and Xi Lin night market

I forgot to mention in my blog about day 8 in Taiwan that we discovered a Harrods store in one of the many department stores in Taipei. As you’ll see from the pictures though, it doesn’t really represent the grandeur of Harrods of Knightsbrigde in London.

Taiwan Day 8: Update Hair

So, this is the day I learn about Taiwanese hair cuts. We headed off to to an Update salon (Update is a chain of hair salons in Taiwan), and in good fashion arrived just a little late. Baby talked a little with the people at the salon, and they had no problems finding me a [...]

Formosan Fifth

Naah, no reason in particular for the title, except this is about the fifth day on Formosa and I kinda thought it sounded a bit cool. A rainy day, so we decided to stay indoors for quite a while, listening to the rain outside. As you might have seen already in the pictures, chances are [...]
