Had some airmiles expiring in Q4 2006, so thought would do a short trip somewhere in Asia just for a weekend. Ying has been over to HK for the same reason, so thought it would be nice to see the Yang's in Taipei.
It wasn't the best weather to take photos. This shot of the 101 tower was taken from an institution of the city - 园山大饭店 http://www.grand-hotel.org/newsite/html/e/cb01.htm.
The hotel used to be THE place that foreign dignities were entertained. The internal
deco is probably a little OTT by today's standards of slightly preferring minimalist style. Anyway, the Yang's took me there for lunch after I touched down. The Chinese/Cantonese restaurant in the hotel is one of the few places you can get decent dim sum in the city.
The young man was very well behaved, bless him. He would play in his room for hours and recite stories that he heard from daddy & mummy to keep himself amused :)
