Taipei - Into the mountains north of Taipei - more food :)

After meeting one of Yun's aunts, we were invited to join her uncle (who runs an antique shop) and niece Vicky (who speaks good English) to go to the mountains north of Taipei on the w/e to get out of the city.

During the summer it's a popular hiking spot and it was through a hiking club that her aunt and uncle met. However when we got there it was raining and so we went to the next big attraction which is an arcade which is filled with....yep you guessed it....places to eat and drink! I guess there were a few shops selling souvenir stuff squeezed in so you could work up an appetite before moving the next 3 metres down to the next eatery!

A few outdoor shots were captured before we got into the serious business of eating!






Final note - As in Hong Kong, Starbucks seems to be up every mountain..
