taipei part 2 - taipei 101!

something new for me this trip!
直登台北101!
the last time i was there, i didnt go up.
so this time, i asked if hubbi was interested.
he was neutral about it and said up to me.
actually, i am a scaredy cat. i hate tall buildings and dont like the feeling of being on top of such buildings.
still, i decided to be brave and risk the fastest lift in the world. *wee*


taipei 101 on a cloudy day.
yup, the view aint fantastic.


@ the entrance!




view would have been better if not for the weather...


hubbi and me on the 89th floor!

it's a nice experience to walk round the 89th floor and take in the views of taipei from different directions.
i even purchased a postcard and mailed it back to our house from there!
wonder when will it arrive!? heh heh.

posing with some displays


oh, and 101 has one of the cutest mascots lor.
4 characters, all with 101 as their eyes and mouth. lol.
above is me posing with 1 of them.

ok, time to climb the last flight of stairs accessible to public to ascend the 90th floor which is an open area.
we were suitably awed by this notice.
imagining experiencing the strong wind whipping my hair round my face and peering over the edge!
gosh, so exciting.
but hor, 想太多了.
no wind and the wall was fenced up pretty high. bleh.

a still excited me!


yup, another 101 mascot.
and the huge golden ball behind is the mechanism stabilizing the building.
dont know how it works. got to ask ah long. :P

with that, we ended our short but quite fun experience with 101!
