Back in Taipei

Good news today. I took the train back to Taipei because I didn't want to get stuck in Chaiyi. I'm at the youth hostel (got that Bill - YOUTH). I can use the computer for free - but that's the only real benefit. I didn't turn on the AC last night and nearly died. Luckily, the other guy in the room finally got back at 2 and turned it on. I was about to die. Duh.
Yesterday I nearly walked my feet off. I've got to get new shoes today. But this is a strange place for that. You can either get shoes for 1 dollar, or 150 dollars. Nothing in between. I can't walk around in boots however. My running shoes are really not good for walking.
I did the Chang Kai-Shek museum/love-fest and the Taipei museum yesterday. Both were interesting. Then I walked around, took a nap in a park, etc.
The air here is bad. People wear masks a lot. It makes my throat hurt. I thought it would bother my alergies, but that's not the problem. It's more of a head/throat issue.
Ok = enough crap from me today.
Anne has only 9 days left to find the perfect guest wireless password. I hope she's working on it.
