DAY 6

Breakfasted at 永和, the 米浆is surprisingly better than豆浆!!

Headed to Marty’s Shrine to see the changing of guards, apparently at the CKS memorial hall, they also have the same ceremony. But at the Marty’s Shrine, the distance the guards walked were much shorter than that compared to the ones at CKS.

They walked… no, they marched slowly and even marched up the stairs and onto the platforms. Wonderful.

Then there were stunts with the guns (or rifles or weapons).
The guy in white collared tee, is like their nanny. Any creases in the uniform, any issues regarding the guard in station, he’s there for them. So there are 2 guards right? Heaven’s just not fair. See for yourself why one guard is more popular for photo taking then the other.
Grab a bite of soup and lu rou fan at a some small shop. Then its towards 孔子庙 and 包安庙 which is opposites each other. Then its to a shopping ctr near Taipei main station where the storefront showcase many many many Gundam models.
Trained to CKS memorial. This place is huge, the steps up to see the statue of CKS is a lot. FREEDOM!!
Went to Taipei main station underground mall. Many shops selling shoes which were too big for me, clothes, nick nacks. Good for shopping

Evening was spent at Miramar shopping ctr. They have a shuttle at Jiantan mrt station. Ferries wheeled.Pink coloured cabins is sooo sweet!
Dinner at the shopping ctr's food court like food area. This looked damn appetising and nice.

Take 2 at shilin NM. This time discovering more unknown secrets. They sell pets there, dogs, cats, pig, guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, porcupines.
And some of the dogs were extremely small and fragile. Too young to be sold. The kittens were worse, their faces were drooping, lifeless, just sleeping and hiding away. Ew, it’s a depressing state they are in. even the rabbits and guinea pigs, many kept in one cage.
