Have I mentioned yet that Sha loves living in Taipei? Well, she does. So here are some random things from living near 公館 station..

The area isn’t bad looking at all.. Well, at least I have no problem with it. Haha.

I went to the 臺北市動物園 (Taipei City Zoo), also sometimes known as the 木柵 (Mù Zhà) Zoo because it was built in a district known as 木柵 which is now called 文山 (Wén Shān).

It is about a 20 minute MRT ride from the main station, and I will post the address in every zoo post so that you won’t have to search for it. But if you want specific details, from 臺北車站 (Taipei Main Station) get the train on the 南港 (Nán Gǎng) line to 忠孝復興 (Zhōng Xiào Fù Xīng). From there, change trains to 動物園 (Taipei Zoo) and it will be the very last stop on the line.

Opening hours: 09:00 – 17:00 (no entry after 16:00) every day of the year except Chinese New Year’s Eve, and I suggest getting there in the morning because the Zoo is huge.
Full price entry: $60NT
Discount entry (concession, students): $30NT
Address: 台北市文山區新光路二段30號
Taipei City, Wen Shan District, Xin Guang Road, Sec. 2, No. 30
Phone number: 02 2938 2300 # 630

It was 6am in the morning and Sha was extremely sleepy.. She looked out the window, wondering if there would be clearer skies.. But she saw nothing but grey..

Nevertheless, she decided that waiting would get her nowhere.. And she ventured out to the rooftop of her dormitory.. Only to be surprised at how much she liked the view..

Facing the south of Taipei city she took these photos.. Despite wobbling from tiredness.. Without a tripod.. And accidentally switching to Av halfway through due to said tiredness..

She then took the long trek back down and quickly stuck these JPGs together to give you a preview of her efforts.. Which you can barely see even though it’s split into three parts..

She didn’t need to include them all.. But for memory’s sake.. Here is a preview of the shrunken 25,000 pixel wide JPG.. Hopefully updated and fixed up versions will be on the way soon..
