Out and about in Taipei

Here's what we've been up to over the past month...
Free football match! Taiwan vs. South Korea at the local SongShan Stadium, close to our house. Taiwan lost three nil, but they put up a spirited fight all the same. It was good to watch a real match again after all this time
Hiking day: Overlooking Taipei from Miantianshan ("Face the Sky Mountain"), part of Yangmingshan National Park.
Ken and Terri are usually up for a hike

Here's a panoramic view from the top, on video...
I almost always park my motorbike in this spot when I park at the Jiantan MRT stop, or visit the Shilin Night Market...
Orange elephant at Yian Hao's house! Fiona enjoyed riding this cute Japanese amusement park ride

Making the perilous climb up to the secluded swimming hole in Neihu. This photo was taken at a 60° angle looking down. Note Daniel climbing up a rope, and the stairs receeding below
At last: the swimming hole revealed
