Weekending in Taipei

At the end of October, a crew of 6 of us headed to Taipei for the weekend. I was really interested to see Taipei finally, having read so much about the ROC and its history. Although we did not see any protests, it was a really interesting time to be in Taiwan. We had a great time--especially tasting all the snacks that Taipei has to offer! Here Mark enjoys a giant piece of fried chicken:
