After two flights totalling fourteen hours, two meals and two snacks, five or six movies (I only watched Crazy Heart and Blind Spot), a bus ride and a cab ride, we're relaxing in our room at the surprisingly stylish Ambience hotel in central Taipei. It's midnight and we're fried but I'm going to venture out to the 7 Eleven to get some bottled water (none in the room).
Sally is very excited about finally getting here and her Chinese has already been highly praised by the people at the hotel desk.
More tomorrow.
Wait...an immediate update. In the two blocks between here and the 7 Eleven I passed a number of restaurants and some businesses that were all open and full of rowdy, happy people. There's a crew working on the street in front of the hotel and lots of traffic on the street. It's midnight on Sunday night! I love it.
BTW, no problems at the 7 Eleven. I got a giant spring water for $30NT which is $1 US.
