Third to last day

Yikes! Monday was our third to last day in Taiwan (none of us really count Thursday as our last day since we leave so frickin early), which was very scary to think about. Dr Huang gave us our last few days as free days so we could enjoy everything we wanted to.
Beth, Kayla, Erich, and myself all got up in time for breakfast, but after discussion at breakfast, we all decided to go back to bed for a bit before meeting up later to head out. We were supposed to leave around 3, but didn't get started until more about 3:45, which ended up being plenty fine.
We decided to head back to Taipei 101. I am so glad I did since that was probably the last time I will ever see that building in person. We went shopping in the attached mall, but didn't really buy anything because we couldn't really afford anything. Most stores in there were all the designer stores like Tiffany and Co, Prada, Gucci, Coach, Hermes, etc. The first time we were at Taipei 101 we found this place that served french fries with different topping so we went there to get a snack.
After we finished at Taipei 101 we headed to the Shilin night market one last time for some final shopping. I didn't get too much, but Beth and Kayla both did. We tried to explore as much of the night market as we could, but we know there was still a lot we missed.
By this point of the evening it was getting late and we were all super hungry for dinner. Beth had found a little American pub for us to go to since they had a great dinner special. We got a little lost trying to find it, however we found a nice lady on the street who spoke English and she helped us find the pub. The special was for 199 NTD you could get the classic burger and a drink. The burger was delicious, and the service was some of the fastest we found in Taiwan. This was great because it meant we were able to still take public transportation home before it all shut down for the night. We got back late but luckily the next day was also pretty much a free day.
