Mom and Dad's Trip to Taiwan Part 2
Day 2 - December 18, 2006
Chiang Kai Shek Memorial
We had to take Ryan into the hospital for some tests this morning. Since we did not really have an appointment, the wait was going to be a few hours. Anting graciously offered to see the Doctor with Ryan while I took Mom and Dad to the CKS memorial.

We met Anting and Ryan at the TGI Friday's near the Hospital and had some lunch before heading to Taipei 101, the world's tallest Building (for now). The elevator is also pretty fast, getting us up to the top in about 30 seconds. Not only is it worth it to go up to the top and look at Taipei from above, but there is also very nice shopping on the lower floors and nice to have a coffee and lounge in the giant atrium on the 5th floor.

Din Tai Feng
After spending several hours in 101, we drove over to the world famous Din Tai Feng, where we had their xiao long bao (soup and meat filled dumplings), kong xin cai (fried green vegetable), chao fan (fried rice), and for dessert some red bean and some sesame dumplings.
