This is part 2 of our day and I know the posting is backwards but you will have to scroll down for the start. As you can see Janel and mom had way too much fun with the worm things (that is what heat and jet lag do to you.) The Jade Market was great but so hot. After we got back from the Jade Market we went to Taipei 101 but, I forgot to put the card in my camera so, you will have to trust me when I say it was crazy. I had never seen more people in one place and eating (at least until we went to the Shih Lin Night Market.) It made Disney World seem slow. It was raining when we went to Taipei 101 and Janel's taxi driver gave them the ride of there life. I don't think she tipped him either. I guess the rule is do not scare the Americans if you want a tip. For the most part the other drivers have been great. Koreans are much more relaxed in their daily lives from what little I have seen. It has been really neat to get a glance at both cultures. After we went to Taipei 101 we went back to the hotel to nap. We slept from 2:30 until 7:30. Needless to say our internal clocks are all messed up. After that it was time for round 2 which consisted of the Shih Lin Night Market and then snacks back at the hotel. The people that are in line in this last picture are waiting for whatever they are serving in the picture above it. I am not sure what it is but, you must understand that this was not a fast moving line so, it must have been something good. The market is huge and the people, you would just have to be there and see for yourself. We went back to the hotel and had snacks in the coffee room. We all love the lemon tea that they have, because of a misunderstanding Janel was the only one who got hers cold. We are learning! We love the hotel and the people have been great. We have only been here one day and yet we saw so much. We are looking forward to tomorrow. I think Janel is going to chime in sometime soon. -Denise
