Recently spent a week working in Taipei, which is a fascinating Asian city.  Although the weather was mostly too hot and too overcast, I did manage to shoot some decent photos (I think, anyhow).

Longshan Temple is a national landmark. Popup LinkIMG14 Popup LinkIMG15

And there are a few historical monuments, such as the National Theatre and the CKS Memorial Hall,  Popup LinkIMG13 Popup LinkIMG12 Popup LinkIMG9 which I really wish I could have photographed at night.

The Danshui River is a cool place to hang out on a Sunday afternoon, especially since it's not really a tourist destination Popup LinkIMG8 Popup LinkIMG7 Popup LinkIMG6  popup> Popup LinkIMG6a
The Night Markets are when the city seems to really come alive Popup LinkIMG10 but they look totally different and a lot more subdued the next morning !Popup LinkIMG2.  

Finding breakfast was always an adventure Popup LinkIMG5 Popup LinkIMG1, especailly at rush hour Popup LinkIMG4, but it's really a beautiful and fascinating city. Popup LinkIMG3 Popup LinkIMG16
