Night Life - shopping

Nightlife in Taipei just... ROCKS!!! This is my first time to Taiwan, so I never knew what to expect. Here are some places that are worth going to:
















Xi Men Ding - teenage hangout with a ton of shops/eateries; looks like a mini asian Times Square. You can also take those very very asian booth pictures! It gets crowded around 5pm when all the schools get out, but nevertheless it's worth going to at night.



ShiLing Ye Shi - probably the most famous night market around. I heard it's may be changing locations soon, but wherever it goes, you should follow. This place has it all! if you're looking for cheap anything (except computer stuff) then take some time and "guang" the night markets. They also have little games for kids, but we like to play too. If you want to make your own cd, you can go to a small recording studio, sing, and they'll do the rest (making everything professional looking). Like animals? There's a section just of puppies and etc. Cute but kind of sad.
To eat... there's a ton of those street vendors, but be careful! If you haven't adapted to the food in Taipei, you're basically going to have to rush to the bathroom after every meal. Like my dad says "we americans don't have as strong a stomach as those taiwanese"...
