Today we took the MRT to a place we have gone to once before called Ximending. There is a bunch of little shops with cheap shopping, familiar US stores, high end stores, and food ranging from cheap to expensive. But if you are going there it is fun to see all of their cheap finds!
Chris got a haircut for NT $100 ($3US). You put NT100 into a machine and out pops a number. When your number gets called you go in for your haircut and it takes about 10 minutes! After, we walked around and looks for some cheap eats.
We got a HUGE piece of fried chicken for US $2. We walked around and watched all the street performers and street food vendors. It is a fun place to just browse around and you can always find something interesting to watch or do. We didn't stay there long because we ended up buying protein and a blanket right away so Chris was carrying around a huge bag haha. But so far that is one of our favorite places to go! We will definitely be going back.
On our way home we stopped and picked up 10 pot stickers for $2 from a place nearby. It is one of our favorite places to get food near our house so far! They don't speak ANY English though so we just point and hope we get something good haha:)
