taiwan~Day 5

on our last day in taiwan, we didn't do a whole lot. we only had a little bit of time before we had to head to the airport. we tried to take the gondola up to a temple, but it was VERY busy and we didn't really figure out how the line system worked until we ran out of time, so we went next door to the zoo. it only cost $2 to get into the zoo. it was pretty much your standard zoo, except the animals didn't seem to be barricaded from the public too much. it seemed as though if the monkeys wanted to, they could get out.

we saw a monkey drink from the straw of a fountain soda cup that was floating in the water by it, and then when he was dissatisfied with that, he started to eat the cup. we saw another monkey, in another habitat, eat a rubber band...maybe they need a janitor?

we thought this was a great sign to tell one how to get from here to there..

"zoo poo poo"

apparently this bathroom is powered by poop..if you'll notice the pig is using its poop to power its hairdryer...

 a coke zero before our flight..

this woman clearly wearing a shirt that she has no idea what it says/means..

"visions of swastikas in my head plans for everyone"

i had a great time in taipei, but i can't say that i'd go back. it didn't feel terribly foreign to me, and i'm not sure if that's just cuz i've been over in korea for awhile and traveled to a bunch of other major asian cities, or what, but it definitely seemed less foreign to me than korea...maybe it's the fact that people don't just push you out of the way on the sidewalk, bus and subway? or that cars and scooters don't drive on the sidewalk?..or that there was mcdonalds/starbucks everywhere? or that people just didn't seem to be as in much of a rush there as they always are here...can't really put my finger on it..
