First to Ximending

So on the same day that I hit up Taipei 101 we also went to Ximending in the evening. It is an area kinda like a street market but really trendy for young women. Although we did see a lot of guys you could tell that it obviously wasn't their main target audience.  Also if you were expecting like a night market type feel you might be disappointed because Ximending is more of a lot of little trendy stores instead of stalls. Oh and it is pretty easy to get to just take the MRT to Ximen station and get off at either Exit 1 or Exit 6 and bam there you are. 

So if you take Exit 1 one of the first buildings that you will see is this little building that has Doritos on it. As far as we could tell it doesn't sell Doritos and has a TV in it besides from that no idea what it is. We were going to check it out on our way out but there was a line and we were tired. 

Anyway walking around there is a lot of different shops and brands. One of the things that we loved was all the shops that had tons of kpop and Taiwanese idols. I didn't buy anything this time but I can totally see myself spending a lot of money here. There was also a lot of make up stores that have some of the cutest make up out there.

As you might have noticed that not only were the make up adorable but they were also advertising with some Korean Idols.

This is probably the closest that I would ever get to Jang Geun Suk

It was pretty crowded even though it was was a week day. There were tons of young people and families out and about. I have to say I was a little shocked on how many small children were out even though it was like nine at night. Anyway there were a lot of small little places to each and some themed cafes. My friend and I didn't really stop at any of them because I was still feeling off from jet lag at that point. 

After walking around for a while we got back onto the MRT and headed back to our hotel for a night's rest.
