If you look closely you can see the spherical Core Pacific City building in the night shot below. Slightly above and left of center.

 

 

 

28 Oct 2012 And naturally I had to take some time to visit the computer/electronics store district. I did buy some things but I found it not so convenient. It's organized as a huge number of independent shops many selling the same thing so finding what you wanted involved a lot of leg work. A little like the old "computer shows" we used to go to. And comparison shopping even more a workout. I did not think the pricing was much better than if you shopped carefully in the states. I guess you have to do your due diligence anywhere you shop.

 

 

 

And here is a picture of an electronics store for my friends who are into electronics. 

                Hmmmmm look at the size of those Variacs.

I took the high speed train from southern Taiwan back to Taipei.X It was a super smooth ride.  The train covers the 200 miles from Kaohsiung to Taipei in about an hour and a half.

It can hit a top speed of over 180 MPH. It was evening, see the pretty lights go by.

And this shop was drawing attention with a guy in costume inspired by a video game  (and a cute girl in leather handing out literature).
