Paper Dome I , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. Left the Sun Moon Lake area after that and went to the Paper Dome , Puli ( check out Taiwan Celebrity: Paper Dome Dominic ! ). It was actually a temporary church structure ( made of paper tubes and steel by Shigeru Ban ) in Japan after the Great Hanshin Earthquake and was subsequently donated to Taiwan after the 921 earthquake. A recurring theme at the Paper Dome is also frogs! -- on mosaics, statues, signs, paintings and sculptures. Perhaps a shrine to Fable Fawg's Taiwanese ancestors. A perfect place to camwhore with its distinct architecture. Also went to see an art exhibition of 'paintings' made from butterfly wings. Sounds a bit macabre. Dinner was quite special-- chicken roasted in an earthern jar using lychee wood. A sure fire way to kill vampire chickens.

Back at the B&B, we checked out and boarded our carrier. Won't be back to Taipei until Thursday! As we made our way to Hsinchu , Lewis asked whether we wanted

TPE , swiped from williamnyk on Flickr. BONUS MATERIAL in this super long-winded post ( first in the series of many! ): Taipei Celebrities -- Ching Shin Chad, Busker Brothers, BB Brent & Metro Mark! A year ago, SK, KH, Lifebook and I bought AirAsia X tickets to Taipei for a week-long holiday. As usual, we bought it with no concrete plans on whether we would be able to fly or not. Unfortunately, Lifebook pulled out at the very last minute due to critical work problems. Since all the lodging and local tour had been arranged, he had to pay the sum of nearly MYR1000 anyway. But then, Lifebook had jst recently come back from a Taiwan holiday with his family in January! Haha. So I guess not so bad and SK got to have the whole room to herself. Logistics were mostly handled by SK, who liased with the local tour guide. The uncle only understood Chinese, and he seemed to like dealing with SK, whom he loved to refer to as 美女 or 辣妹. Changed the itinerary several times based on preference
