Taipei 101 – On The Inside

by | May 4, 2013 | Travel

Here are a few pictures I took on my trip to Taipei. I went to Taipei 101 and it was quite fun. Although. admittedly, the place is suited towards those with money. It has all the big brand names in there, and I don’t mean Nike, Adidas or Puma. This place is well catered for people who buy expensive things like GUCCI, Rolex, Tommy Hilfiger etc. Anyways, it was great. I didn’t realise that so many Japanese people travel to Taiwan. There were hundreds of them inside!

Some of these pictures are old and have been taken with my FZ-28.
