Taipei Zoo!!!

Last Saturday, I went to the zoo with two friends! :) (I had already been there twice, two summers ago). The weather was rather fantastic; it was sunny, but not too hot (which is miraculous in Taiwan). We were probably at the zoo for 3 hours or so; it took us that long to visit probably 85% of the exhibits. We skipped over the huge bird section, because none of us cared about birds. I made sure we saw all the cute animals! :) :) Koalas, penguins, zebras, giraffes, elephants etc.

Best part, it costs ~$1 CDN to visit the zoo (as a student). That was probably the cheapest entertainment- EVER! It was rather fantastical!

What is a blog entry w/o photos? Here they are:


My delectable breakfast at The Diner


A small giraffe who came out and played!!


Emo monkey and regular monkey.


Serious monkey...


So King Kong likes carrots!


The African elephants! :)


A yawning lion... Looks dangerous!


Of course, my favourite- Emperor Penguins!!!

We all had a blast, especially for $1CDN!! Good timing too, apparently the MRT line that the zoo is on will be shut down every weekend from December through January. Ha! Who beat the system? We did!
