The tallest building in Taiwan is called Tapei 101. A huge shopping mall with offices and an observation deck. The elevator is super fast. It travel from the 5th floor to 89th floor in 37 seconds. It does a number on your ear drums though. I saw lots of tourist there... I myself am one too of course, but I just didn't look or sound like one. I saw Europeans, Japaneses, Americans and Koreans. It made me realize lots of people actually do visit this tiny place. I also saw lots of Caucasians walking around alone yesterday. They were taking the subways and going to place with such confidence I assume they live and work in Taiwan. I asked my mom if she can imagine going off to a foreign city and living on your own. I don't think I have enough confidence to do that. She replied "Didn't we do that when we moved to Canada?" I guess I never gave my mom enough points for moving into a foreign land without being able to speak the language.
This is the mascot of the Tapei 101 building, the thing behind is a giant ball that helps the building stabilize.

I think I want that toilet in my house. Very impressive. Also thanks for making sure these toilets are clean before you use them as your educational materials.
37 seconds? Wow. Did it feel like you were on an amusement park ride?
I kinda like you being on vacation, Judy. We get to read new blog posts so much more often! :)
