Lebua at State Tower, Bangkok Thailand

Tonight we are staying at Lebua at State Tower in Bangkok, Thailand. The room is huge and there is a nice balcony. I am not feeling well at all tonight so I left the beautiful SkyBar overlooking the city and came back to the room to eat pizza. I hope I am feeling better tomorrow.

MITSUI CUISINE in Taipei

MITSUI CUISINE is where we had dinner tonight. There were 12 of us total and the food was very interesting...


There was so MUCH FOOD... I EVEN TRIED octopus!!!











Earlier that night we had went to The Shilin Night Market. It is a night market in the Shilin District of Taipei City, Taiwan, often considered to be the largest and most famous night market in the city. My main goal was to buy a wig for Halloween this year. I ended up buying two (a long brown hair) and (bobbed black hair) I must say that the wigs were a hit at dinner. A hit with the MEN----

Shangri-La's Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Taipei‏

Tonight we started off at the Marco Polo Lounge:
Towering over the city skyline, Marco Polo Lounge boasts a unique, world class view of Taipei 101 building. It offers an enticing variety of drinks and cocktails. With stylish sights and sounds, this is the ultimate gathering place for Taipei's trendsetters.

Then we moved to dinner at Marco Polo Restaurant:
Taipei's most stylish Italian restaurant. Indulge in the essence of Italian cuisine and impeccable service while taking in the breathtaking views of Tun Hwa South Road and Taipei City.

As I sit here writing my stomach is turning from the disgusting food I ate. Yes, the resturant is stylish but the food is gross.

Last night was so fun when I went to visit Taipei 101:
Taipei 101, also known as the Taipei Financial Center, is a landmark skyscraper located in Xinyi District, Taipei, Taiwan. The building was the world's tallest (with occupiable floors) until it was surpassed in height by the Burj Khalifa on July 21, 2007. The skyscraper was officially the tallest building until the opening of the Burj Khalifa on the 4th of January 2010.
