First pictures of Taipei

Settling in to Taipei now - really enjoying the city so far. Have been exploring areas to live, as well as getting a feel for the lifestyle here - including night markets, shopping, restaurants, bars and movie theaters. Also both of us got to fulfill our first goals - Andy to stand at the base of Taipei 101 and look up and Ev to hike up to the top of Elephant Mountain for the famous view of the city.

More to follow at the end of the month (when we'll plan to update monthly), but a few pictures to get us started.

 Our first view of Taiwan

 Guting - our current home (hotel) - minutes from our employer's headquarters

 Bottom of Taipei 101 - for a while, the tallest building in the world. Not been to the top yet, but will do soon.

 Looking up from the base

 Waiting for night fall from Elephant Mountain - the sun just beginning to set

The city sparkles at night - a beautiful view from the top of the mountain.
