We tried to go to the observatory in Taipei 101, but it was closed due to the impending typhoon - we'll come back another time!

They have a HUGE set of underground malls that are connected to the Taipei Main Station (metro, high speed rail, etc)

Within these malls, they have just open spaces to meet, and even mirrored floors for dance practice - very impressive

There is a Japanese celebration coming up, and there were just young people drawing and sketching on this open wall!
