Yesterday marks our third day in Taiwan and I must say, I'm really enjoying the weather here. It may be bipolar sometimes, but at least I can feel the cool breeze at night and I don't sweat as much!=P Also, I love the fact that I get to bond with my Mom and Aunt more here with Athan!:)
For our bonding session yesterday, we went to visit two of our favorite stores; ESLITE bookstore and TAIPEI 101!:)
First stop was Eslite and this place is like heaven to me. It's packed with books, notebooks, trinkets, and all the quirky school/office supplies you can think of. Too bad I wasn't able to take that much pictures, because they don't allow cameras. :(
They also have a floor dedicated to kids, so if you love bookstores and wanna keep your kids happy at the same time, then Eslite is the place to be!
They also have a store there that is filled with amazing Vinyl toys and other collectibles! I couldn't help but get myself a tiny TokiDoki cell charm! ^_^
After Eslite, we made our way to the famous Taipei 101 building. It's just a few blocks away from Eslite, so you can walk. :)
It was almost time for closing when we got inside Taipei 101, so Mom decided that we have a nice dinner at Amadeus cafe before heading to Page One bookstore.

| As you can see, my left eye is still in a poor condition. :( Hopefully in the next few days it will be better! |
Mom and I had salad and OJ with vanilla ice cream. I never imagined that OJ and ice cream would taste SO good together! Try it!:)
Here are also some of the few reasons why I love bookstores here...
Wide selection of pens!
I wanted to take more pictures, but I was afraid someone might "shoo" me. :)) But I hope I was able to give you a glimpse of my favorite bookstores here!:)
Loving this! Just had to take a photo with my boy!

| The MRT! |
And our loot! Athan's obsessed with cars, so his Momsie got him car related books. :) As for me, I got the Nicholas Sparks book that I've been looking for, a few trinkets, Alice in Wonderland themed stickers for my planner and two Lego mini figures for Gersh! Can't wait to give it to him. :")
Well, that's all for now! If you want me to blog something about Taiwan, just leave me a comment on Formspring!:)
Have a great week, everyone!!!

ReplyDeletewhat? the taipei 101 closes even before the page one bookstore does? that's weird. but it's great that you're exposing Athan to books/bookstores at a very young age. :)
