Taiwan Taipei Fuxing Ramen

4 May 2023

Fuxing about

Sogo and Liaoning Street night market

Small update tonight. Earlier today my ultra fancy Garmin top of the line watch told me I was over stressed, and I should lay down and take some deep breaths, it never did that before!
Anyway, for my evening stress free activity I went to the main North / South road through Taipei, Fuxing road, and walked up and down it under the elevated subway.
Right at the central point there are 2 x Sogo stores across the road from each other, I only remember one of the two from previous visits, maybe the other is new?

Tomorrow, I go to a new city, Yilan, on the East coast. I have been through there on a train before, but never actually been there before. It is a smaller place, maybe they don't have a food court? OMG whatever will I do to survive?

Taipei 101 is never really far away. If it fell over it would be wider than the city. I accurately measured the city and the building so this is definitely true.

I was feeling a bit shaky from my lack of stress after my deep breathing, so I descended into the old Sogo for something Japanese from the leftover from Japanese occupation department store - spicy miso ramen. It was red, but not particularly spicy.

I like taking photos under the elevated subway. Look closely and you can see the train again in this one. It goes above the road, but under the freeway overpass. Earthquake bait.

Now for the Liaoning Street night market, nowhere near as big as many of the other night markets, but notable because you sit in the traffic trying to eat your stinky tofu. This adds to the experience.

And for my final photo tonight, a re-creation of an old city gate. This is quite near the main Taipei station. I just remembered I will have to go there early tomorrow and collect all my train tickets, for both the normal trains and the high speed trains, I almost forgot!
