Day Six

Today was a much slower day in comparison to the last few, but was definitely full of events. After having breakfast, I went with my family to a nearby Carrefour (the equivalent of Costco in Taiwan). I got some chips, drinks, and a copy of Forza Motorsport 3 at a discounted price (a little more than $40 USD). The game usually goes for $60 in the US.
For lunch, we met with my parents' acquaintances from our religion and ate at an all-you-can-eat buffet that I have been to before. Lunch took until around 2 PM, and we moved onto our next location, Taipei 101.
101 is the tallest building in the world (or was?) and has the fastest elevators in the world, going up to 1010 meters per minutes. We were able to get up to the 89th floor (the highest the public can go) and took a bunch of photos, even though it was pretty cloudy. We got some souvenirs and went back to the lower 5 levels to keep shopping. However, most of the stores were extremely high class and out of our price range. The main highlight of the lower levels was an exhibit of Maseratis and Ferraris. My brother and I went absolutely nuts, snapping photos of the cars from all angles. From what I saw, the Ferraris there were a 612, a 599, and a California. I only recognized two Maseratis, those being the Quattroporte and the Gran Turismo.
After leaving 101, my father wanted to look for new shoes, so we went to a nearby Nike store. After finding a pair, we took the bus back home.
We did not manage to get to all the places we wanted to go to in the 101 area, so we are going to go again, along with going to the Taipei Main Station one more time. If we still have time, we are going to try to go to Zhongxiao Fuxing and visit Sogo like old times. We are also going to go pay our respects to my great grandmother, who passed away many years ago on the same day.
