Taipei, Taiwan ... Japan was too dangerous

 Due to the devastating Tokyo earthquake and tsunami, SAS replaced or Japanese landing with a visit to Taiwan. Our visit to Taipei was highlighted by a trip to Taipei 101, until lately, the tallest building in the World (Dubai built one taller in 2008).





The elevator reaches 1010 meters/minute in lift speed





Sarge with the 101 mascot, Damper Baby


Beautiful coral sculptures


We rode the HSR -- High Speed Railway -- up to 300 km/hr !!


Visited the Shinlin Night Market. Wow the crowds were off the charts. And the stinky tofu (yes that's what they call it) was really stinky!
