The return of the family trip. Of endless shopping, eating, and raining (yes!)

淡水

Following last year’s first ever family trip to Bangkok which turned out to be so much fun, we headed to the famous land of XXXL 鸡扒 Taipei this time round to continue with the annual overseas trip tradition. The weather was less than perfect (can’t expect much when you travel with the rain goddess especially when she decided to summon a typhoon) but everyone’s spirits were overall positive. Within a short span of four days, we managed to cover most of the key attractions in Taipei AND went a short way out to 九份 and 金瓜石 where the 老街 and old mine were.

九份老街

If I were to choose the top three highlights of the trip, it would be the night market food, the walk along the old streets in九份 and 淡水, and the hotel itself (which Dad so generously booked for all of us).
