So after seeing the scenic Taiwan we were back in Taipei city. Since we had visited 3 universities before we decided who better to show us around then locals. So we made plans to go
to the zoo. Not any zoo... The biggest zoo in Asia. I was pretty excited cant lie. We meet out Taipei friends in the lobby and headed out. It took like a good 20 to 25 min train ride to get there but a good time to bond and get to know each other a little bit more. We get there and its going to "close" in an hour in a half. We figure plenty of time. At the entrance you get a time slot to see the pandas (they are a recent edition to the zoo). so we start of with the flamingos and then get in line to see the pandas. We get there and within 30 seconds the panda was in and out and we were getting told to keep moving. So being the tourist I am, i completely ignored the lady pointing towards the exit sign and lingered around to see the panda again. I believe it was feeding time so we were like maybe on our way back. We saw lions, giraffes, horses, rhinos, panthers, gorillas, monkeys... you know it we saw it. It was a great time and I really enjoyed the company of the students there. The zoo was supposed to close at 5. However at 5 there was no dash to the exit, on the contrary we went further into the zoo. We walked around, joked and had a "merry" ole time (hahhaha). It was around 540 and we figured we should leave (considering we really didnt see anyone else there). There was a small park near by. We stopped there for a bit just to relax. Well and Suyash bought a killer panda toy creepy thing :). We were all super hungry and so Doug took us to an all "American" place. It was good and filling and we just kinda sat around for a bit before we headed home. It was a great day, good times with some super cool peeps.
