Day out in Taipei City... Taipei IOI

Yup.. after being cooped up for a couple of days.. the weather was great (out-door AC).

Almost all our travels in taipei is via the public buses. Most journeys cost only NT$15 (SGD$0.70) and the most you pay is NT$30 (SGD$1.40). When you get up the bus, you check if you have to pay on your way up the bus or down. If it's Up, then you pay your NT$15 first. When it's time for you to get down, you check if the state has changed. If it did, then you pay another NT$15. (only applicable if you travel far). In Taiwan, they also use something similar to EZ-link card.

On our walk to Taipei IOI from Taipei City Hall MRT Stn.

While the rest of them had some coffee at Barista Coffee (good kopi!), we took the kids up to the Observation Floor.

To keep IOI from swaying.. they've got a gigantic counter-balance ball.. named Damper Baby!
