December 2008 Trip: Day 10- Taipei Zoo → Taichung


On Day 10, we visited Taipei Zoo with a friend of Jason’s who also studies in Vancouver. We saw many animals, including adorable Taiwanese monkeys and baby chimps having piggyback rides on their parents. However, it was sad to see that some larger animals only had small spaces to live in; some seemed to unnaturally repeat movements over and over again, and it was very depressing.
We bought lunch in the zoo from a concession stand (I had BBQ pork on rice, which was very good). We finished exploring the zoo, and because we missed the last shuttle bus back to the entrance, we had quite a long walk to the exit. Jason, his friend and I headed back downtown and had dinner at a Japanese restaurant before taking the train back to Taichung where we spent the rest of our trip staying with his parents. It was hard to believe that our 10 day trip had come to an end! Time to go home :(
