12 to 17 August 2019.
G and I were worried when we heard of reports of typhoons and thunderstorms in Taiwan. When we arrived at Taoyuan International Airport, it was raining. However, after a cab ride of 30 mins away, we reached our Airbnb in Ximending and boy was it scorching for the rest of the trip.
I must note that the reason this post is titled "The Claw Machine" is because we went into every single claw machine store. And no, I am not exaggerating.
Night Markets
Ximen Night Market was amazing. Starting from around 6pm daily, the nightlife only ends around 1am. So the eating begins. Some other night markets we visited:- Rao He Night Market
- Shi Lin Night Market
G won me two or three stuffed toys and made me fuckin' happy. Thanks, G.
Places
- Every claw machine store in Ximending
- Jiu Fen + Shi Fen
- Fortune telling at [x] market
Food
- As per his recommendation, 天天利 had really yummy Lu Rou Fan
- Ah Chung Flour Rice Noodles for spectacular Mee Sua
- Beef Cube store in Ximending

Already planned our next trip back - only thing's left to do is to make some bookings!
