Taipei 101

While we were in Taiwan we went to the Taipei 101 building. Up until January it was the tallest building in the world, it is now second to Dubai. We went on a foggy day so the view wasn't as amazing as usual but it was still really cool! The building itself has lots of fun, upscale shops and lots restaurants. We had lunch and then stood in line for about an hour before getting on the fastest elevator in the world to the 89th floor. The elevator was really cool, there were fiber-optics on the ceiling and a little elevator meter that showed how fast we were flying through the floors! We were so high up that we could feel the building sway back and forth...scary yet fun all at the same time! That night we went out to dinner at Tai Town and stopped by the Grand Hotel, the only traditional Chinese hotel in Taiwan. So fun!
