Taipei, Shanghai, Zurich Day 3 – Night Shopping

The typhoon hit a little harder last night with higher winds and more rain.  Undaunted we went first to the Sababa Pita bar for an inexpensive but extremely high-quality mid-eastern dinner.

Does anyone notice the double-meaning of the logo (Chinese / Hebrew)?  Great food, deserves the 5-star rating.

Then we hit the “night shopping” area near-by.  The winds destroyed Elisheva’s umbrella so we bought her a new one for NTD 70 (US$2.25).  There are huge areas and alley ways filled with booths, shops, and street food.  There are no performing artists, beggars, or solicitors, other than hand-bills at street corners (Japanese style).

We didn’t really need anything else and neither of us is much enamored by shopping so we went to Elisheva’s apartment to escape the rain and winds.
