Day 4: Is there anything left to do?

If you know us well, you know that we're not ones to sit around and do nothing when visiting a foreign country. But after 3 days in Taipei it just didn't seem like we had missed out on anything (maybe it's just because we were so productive our first 3 days). Nevertheless, we got up early and headed to Danshui, on the north coast of Taiwan, which had a fisherman's wharf "just like San Francisco", according to the man that sat next to Danny on the airplane. And he was right, it was like SF - there were a lot of boats, piers to walk on, everything you'd expect at a wharf - except for the people. The place was totally deserted.

We rented a tandem bicycle and rode around the area for 2 hours. We asked an Asian man to take a photo of the two of us on the tandem and after the photo he switched places with Ashwin and insisted on taking a photo with Danny. Ashwin approached an Asian girl and asked her in broken english "take photo?" while pointing to his camera. The asian girl replied with "oh you want me to take a photo of you" in perfect English. Turns out she was from Florida. Her mom then insisted she take a photo with us.

For dinner we went back to Din Tai Fung for more delicious dumplings, and lots of beer. On the way out, we were thanked and bowed to by about 14 different people. Foreigners are a rarity in Taiwan, so we stand out like sore thumbs. After dinner, we went to Luxy - the largest nightclub in Taiwan. Danny ran into some friends from Cal (as the school is mostly Asian, it made sense) and we danced the night away.
