No longer bagless!

It is now 9AM on Sunday morning. Yesterday was a fantastic day in Taipei. We started off the morning stressed about our bags because sadly nobody at the airport speaks English :( We tried calling like 4 or 5 times but the payphone gets expensive over time. Eventually we got in touch with our hostel owner Magos, and she was the nicest lady and helped us figure it out. In conclusion, our bags were delivered to us yesterday. After that was figured out, we went to the Taipei Museum of Contemporary Art...AMAZING! It was so unbelievably interesting. There was a ton of multimedia art and just complete randomness! It was a lot of fun. During the afterrnoon we visited Taipei 101 and the Longshan Temple. The temple was very beautiful. Then after the sun set we went to the Confucius temple, and it was completely empty...we hung out in the peaceful beautiful smelling temple and just relaxed. It was SO peaceful. Then we went to the Shihlin Food Market, and we had some of the best "smoothies" EVER! As the night progressed, we made our way to Shihlin Night Market and found some great shopping. Eventually we made our way back to our hostel and showed off our new buys, but not until about 4 hours later than last night! We are actually on a normal sleep schedule finally. It was a great day! Pictures will come soon!
