Grand Palace Museum 7 July
Finally we visited the grand palace museum. One of the world's best museums. The free guided tour at 10 am was already full so we had to walk around ourselves. We rented the audioguide and off we went to explore. The audioguide was good and provided clear explanations. How to see which works were from which era. The pots started out dull in colour, then became more colourful with indian, french influence. Since no photography was allowed, I had no photos to show. There were guards holding up signages which said "no photography" and "keep quiet". They would flash it at anyone who breached the regulations. After an educational morning, we took a walk in the Chih-shan garden nearby. Some photos:
The fat fishes in the pond. You can buy fish feed from a dispensing machine to feed them. No wonder they are so fat.
The swans. 
Mandarin ducks.

Entrance to the garden.
The Grand Palace Museum. My camera cannot fit the whole palace in.
A pictorial representation.
At the entrance before we climbed up the steps to the palace.
The public bus and the view from the bus stop.
The bus. The bus driver very fierce. He shouted at an old man for blocking the way up the bus.
Lunch at ikari coffee. Not a bad deal. Set lunch under S$10. Pasta, soup and ice coffee.
The keep right rule. All the taipei citizens abide by this rule. The people who wanna overtake will walk on the left. See the passageway is clear on the left.
Dinner was at tian1 wai4 tian1. A place which serves buffet steamboat. Good deal. It serves meiji ice-cream. Plenty of fruits to choose from as well. Yummy beancurd jelly. Too much food too little space. The different soup base you can choose from. Can split the pot into five types even.
We chose two types of soup: ma lan and clear soup. We cooked a lot of mushrooms. I love mushrooms!! Also been a long time since i ate duck's blood. Banned in singapore. All the blood products.
