Day 11

My eleventh day...I can't believe my two weeks in Taiwan are almost over. We went to XinYi to meet up with a friend from ISA last semester in UH. We had a nice, simple lunch at a cafe, and chatted there for a couple of hours. It was great seeing old friends again.
I ordered the beef and noodle bowl
Afterwards, we caught the MRT to Taipei Main Station and ate dinner at a restaurant called Wellington Street. This restaurant was supposedly Hong Kong-style cooking. This was a farewell dinner for one of the new friends I met during this trip. The food here was great. We had 5 main dishes, and my favorite was the soft shell crab.

To finish off the day, we went to watch World War Z! Now...as some of you who know me may know... I am NOT good with thriller movies. As ashamed as I am about saying this, I watched the movie with sunglasses on and my fingers in my ears. It's bad enough watching stuff pop up at me; the music just makes the experience even scarier! Apparently I was the only one who could not handle this movie, so...all of you who plan to watch it, I guess it shouldn't be that bad.
Well, time to sleep and then go to the airport to see of our friend.
