Surprisingly, Starbucks are pretty popular in Taiwan. There is 2 even in the same single 台北车站 subway alone!
We ordered a veggie sushi box, a charamel macchiato, and I tried the Tao hu faa of Taiwan. It's a bit different from ours. Theirs is not using the thick type of black/white sugar. It's diluted sugar water. But the Tao hu faa is really soft.

Went to 国父纪念馆 after brunch.
We walked around, but found nothing really interesting or special.
Coincidently there was a 圆明园 展览 there. We decided to pay for it. T$250 per head.
No photos from here because its prohibited from taking any photographs. All is say is, if u are a person who is interested in the history of Qing dinasty (清朝）, this is a place u definitely should not miss. Plenty of genuine artifacts and photos to be seen here.

Rushed to 故宫博物院 at 2pm.
This is a 100% must visit place if you are a fan of china history.
Again. It's a place where photography is prohibited inside the building.
The building is full of historical artifacts, which has the collection all the from 3000+ years ago.
The building is segregated into sections of prehistoric artifacts, which includes religious, culture, art, calligraphic, sculpture, weaponry, pottery, etc.....
And most of them are the originated from the original author/creator.
The place closed at 6pm. With a full 3 hour to spend there, we could hardly even finish touring the entire building. You could imagine how rich the content of what the place is offering. With only NT$200 per person, it's definitely offering a lot of what you paid for. No doubt about it. A definitely must visit place if u are a Chinese history freak like me.

Meeting Laogu and Adele at 士林夜市 for dinner. As the usual thing. Ate a lot. Walked a lot. Shopped a lot. And saw a lot of interesting gambling games. :D
All in all, it's a travel back to china day for us. Tiring, yet rewarding :)
