Day3
Lunch was a treat from the lovely luyi at Skylark restaurant - delish, and once again, we left totally stuffed. Went to the CAMPO market which was held at luyi's uni 政大 which was having its 80th anniversary celebrations that day so we saw lots of students milling around and got a taste of the bustling school atmosphere.

On the bus to our next stop - Taipei 101!
Mountains all around. The city that winds and stretches through them. A strange juxtaposition of man and nature. In Singapore, it's all buildings and no mountains.
Some sculptures by a Taiwanese artist exhibited on the observation deck. Grotesque representations - monsters, all sharp teeth and narrowed eyes, carved out of coral, to depict the debauchery and sins that Man indulge in. There were a few milder works of sitting Buddhas, temples amidst bamboo and little monks, but I found these fascinating. The intensity contained in these still scuptures - it felt like they would swallow me in a mouthful when my back's turned.
