I went to Taipei 101 with my son yesterday. The weather was slightly cooler than usual, probably because of the two typhoons that blew through the region. It was nice to just spend the afternoon with my son.
We started the day walking through Warner Village (not called that now actually; I don't know what its new name is). There were a lot of people there, mostly teenagers interested in the comic book exhibition going on at the nearby world trade center. My son was quite happy because we took the bus there. The 912, which we can take from a bus stop near our home, runs from Shenkeng to the Xin Yi district. It is only about a 15 minute ride now that the new tunnel is open; it's very convenient. We walked along the foot bridge that connects Warner village to the department store New York New York and then to Taipei 101. We then took the 'fastest elevator in the world' to the observation deck on the 89th floor. It only took about 45 seconds. The adult ticket was NT$350 (about 10 us dollars) and Matthew went for free. Matthew seemed to have a good time. The view was spectacular.
Afterwards we went to McDonald's, the only place my son actually gets excited about going to other than the zoo.
When my wife came home from work (yes, she works on Saturdays) She asked Matthew what he did. The only thing that he said was that he went to McDonald's. It wasn't until further questioning that he admitted to also "ridding in an elevator."
I am going to cut this short because I have to get up early for some 'quality time' with Justin and Dennis in the morning.
