Last Night in Taipei/Taiwan
Here are some pictures we took with my aunt's family. That's my cousin, Jason, in the Yankees jersey. He's in high school and is a huge fan of Yankees pitcher Chin-Ming Wang. During our stay, he got up at 1 AM to watch the Yankees play.
(And the only thing he wanted me to bring back from the US was a Yankee cap. Christy and I had an adventure in Seattle when trying to find one.)

My aunt and uncle were great during our visit. They were very hospitable. Paying for meals and taxi rides. They took time out of their day to show us the sights. They also provided us with Taipei Rapid Transit passes.
And there was always fresh fruit and breakfast to fill our tummies.

Taipei 101 at night
We had dinner with my mom's side of the family at this great vegetarian restaurant. Christy's comment was: "Man, if the vegetarian restaurants in the US were this good, I'd be vegetarian".
I think it was her favorite restaurant out of them all.
After dinner, my aunts (3rd older and youngest sisters) and my cousin dropped us off at a subway station and we rode the subway home. While in the car, we took some highly imperfect, but somewhat stylish pictures of Taipei 101 at night.
Throughout our trip, as we bought snacks and water at the 7-Elevens, we were receiving these little magnets that featured the Japanese cartoon character Doraemon. He's a defective robot cat without ears. These magnets featured Doraemon traveling to different countries around the world. We got quite a few, but Christy wanted the two that had Doraemon in Taiwan.
So that evening, Christy and I went on a Doraemon magnet search. And after a search of several stores, we finally convinced a store clerk to just give us the magnets. (I'll take some pictures of them and post them on here later.)
