Holiday in Taipei (part 5 the finale)

This is the final post on my January trip to Taipei.  Last day was Saturday and I've only got the morning and afternoon to explore before we proceed to the airport for our flight back at 8.55pm.

We planned to check out 龙山寺 since the temples in Taipei seem to be quite elaborately decorated.  We took the subway to 龙山寺 station, which was one station away from 西门 station.

 
The temple filled with devotees



Elaborately carved pillar.

That's what I call a water feature!
After wandering around a bit more, we stumbled upon the venue where "Monga" was filmed.  It was a nice surprise to find this out of nowhere... Though I haven't watched this movie before, I think I will since I've been to the set now.  =)









Just before we left Taipei, I felt my stomach churning.. think it could be the rubbish that I've been eating the last few days.  Here's an example of what Taipei offers... Fried chicken SKIN, hearts and best worst of all CHICKEN ASS!!! OMG. yeah that's some serious shit I know.. they all go into the oil that fries your chicken cutlet.  Its little wonder why I didn't fall sick earlier.. Oh well.. enjoy the pics!



So I ended the trip to Taipei on an upset stomach.. If you asked me whether I like Taipei, I'll probably tell you a) I prefer Hong Kong, b) I will like Taipei better if not for the dreary rain and c) I think I'll bring some of my own food if I were to go there again.  That's all for Taipei..
