Taipei – Guandu Temple, Taipei City Mall, Gongguan

 Another rainy day.  It has been pouring every morning for the past few days.

My aunt took me to Guandu Temple after we ate lunch.   The temple is boring and nothing interesting around it.  Shrines and temples are so boring for me now after visiting and seeing so many of them.

Just scenery infront of the temple.

Scenary from the back of the temple.

 After the temple, I went to Taipei City Mall by myself as I wanted to buy something.  Taipei City Mall is an underground mall near Taipei station.  I wanted the check it out, but last time I went to the wrong mall called Taipei World Mall -_-;;

I got pwned big time today.  I wanted to buy Megahouse’s Sheryl Nome figure from a store that had it for a good price.  I decided to walk around and grab it while I leave.  Unfortunately as I came back 10 mins later, the figure was sold to this fat ugly guy. 

I should have bought my Yoko Littner in Taiwan.  It is cheaper here than Japan.  The reason is that NT to CDN is A LOT better than YEN to CDN.  Also, my box wouldn’t have been all beaten up.  Yeah, my Yoko figure box looks like I tossed it around. 

Next I went to Gongguan where you can find Tapei National University, Taiwan’s most prestigious university. 

After looking around, I went to Shuiyuan Market which is across from the univerisity.

Nothing much to look at.  All markets are the same in the end. Just a bunch of shops, food, and the usual, a lot of bad drivers.
