DAY 3 : You can't teach an old dog new kicks
I'm trying to get myself on Taipei time but i only managed to sleep a little bit longer today.
7:30am is not going to cut it if I plan to have any sort of night life that doesn't involve yawning or sleeping in public but perhaps that's the best way to fit in. Come on... everybody's doing it!
After having a late sushi brunch, OKI and I trucked off for the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial. Chiang Kai-Shek was the former President of China and sought to reunitfy China while fighting Chinese Communists. A massive staicase leads up to the giant building which was constructed of giant white stone blocks and has royal blue tiles for the roof. This place is BIG!
After 100,000 miles, I finally had to retire my trusty Converse All Stars for some Taipei Brown, New Balance sneaks. These retirees will be featured on the cover of the New, limited edition eskimohunter release available on So Sweet Records. No joke! It's a re-release of some older material with a bunch of videos and etc...
The Museum of Contemporary Arts was very close so we hit that. Saw some interesting video installations including Werner Herzogs 'the 10,000 years older'. A nice get a way from the heat. There was something like art/day care for children around 9 years old. They were all making objects out of brightly colored construction paper. They each stood up to present them but i couldn't visualy decifer what they had made. I kept having the overwhelming urge to jump in front of them and do my best chicken dance. Do I need to get more sleep?
Ouside the sky has opened up into a terenchal downpour and i think the drops are the size of small jawbreakers. We are both soaked to the bone in 50 feet, flat! Oki's Aunt let me know, on the way to dinner, that we brought the rain. She told me it wasn't like this until we arrived. Sorry Taipei.
