Taipei is the biggest city in Taiwan. Home to Taipei 101. I think it's a cool looking city from certain points of view, but I wasn’t a fan of Taipei. Parking is horrible, the drivers are assholes, it's confusing to drive around. Every time I would drive from Taichung to Taipei I would get there and quickly regret it. I would stay one day then leave and head to the northern coast. I just wasn’t a fan. Maybe if I had friends, it would have been different, but yeah…whatever. Use the MRT there, don’t drive. Here are some places in Taipei.​ 

台北市:台北市是台灣最大的城市，也是台北101的所在地。我覺得他有著很酷的城市風貌，但我不是非常喜歡台北。停車很可怕，駕駛都是混蛋。也常常會搞不清楚怎麼開。每次我從台中開車到台北，我一到那裏我就後悔了。我只會待一天，然後繼續往北海岸走。我真的不喜歡台北。也許，如果我有朋友，情況會完全不一樣，但...隨便啦。搭捷運，不要開車。以下是台北的一些地方。

Taipei 101

Walked by, but never did it.​

台北101: 走路經過，從沒有進去過。

Elephant Mountain

I did do this hike. It was fairly easy and gave a nice view of the city. I was told it can be dangerous at night to go. Danger and Taiwan don’t go hand in hand…but maybe.​ 

象山: 我爬上去了，很容易爬，可以看到台北市的風景。有人跟我說晚上去可能會危險。危險跟台灣是不

共存的吧，但是也許...

National Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall ❤️🏠📸⭐

This is an impressive massive structure. I think the architecture is amazing. It isn’t uncommon to see youth practicing various street dances or K-pop choreography among others walking and relaxing here. The highlight for me was watching Return of the Jedi with a full-on orchestra!​ 

中正紀念堂: 這裡是一個令人印象深刻且巨大的建築。我覺得建築本身很厲害。很容易看到年輕人在這裡練習街舞，或是韓國流行舞蹈。其他人就是走路跟在這裡休息。我最記得的是在這裡看星際大戰:絕地大反攻的交響樂表演。

Huashan 1914 Creative Park ❤️🏠

This was ok. There is a park, some interesting shops and art. I took photos and relaxed here. ​ 

華山1914文化創意園區: 還可以的地方，有一個公園，有些有趣的店跟藝術作品。我在這裡拍照跟休息。

Ximending District 📸⭐

I liked this area for its large amounts of graffiti. There are some dope pieces here. I did manage to meet a few artists from Europe and Hong Kong painting while exploring there. This was pre Covid. I would also see street dancers practicing their crafts in various areas of this district. They even had a Ben Davis store, that took me waaayyy back!​ 

西門町: 我喜歡這裡，有很多塗鴉。有一些很厲害的作品。我的確有遇到一些來自歐洲跟香港的藝術家在畫畫。這是在新冠肺炎爆發之前發生的事。我也看到一些街舞練習的人
