Our second trip to Taipei was not my favorite only because I got really sick. Our first stop was a National Palace Museum. It was really nice and there was a lot of cool stuff in there. The most famous piece is call the "Jade Cabbage" and it is exactly what it is named. It is famous for the detail that was put into it. There is even a little bug on it. I bought a piece of artwork and right when we were about to leave my stomach started cramping really bad.
On the way to Taipei 101 i thought my stomach was going to split in two. It this point I had no urge to release anything but I was in sever pain. As soon as we got to the building I ran right to the bathroom and threw up. I felt that it was the best way to introduce myself to the second tallest building in the world. Our first objective was for everyone to get something to eat but the thought of food, especially foreign food sounded terrible so I stuck with ice cream. That turned out to be a bad idea too because after that I couldn't stop shivering.
When everyone was done eating we decided to go to the top of the building. I had taken some medicine and was feeling a little better. The elevator to the top is the second fastest in the world and it took us to the 89th floor in around 36 seconds. The top was great. We were surrounded by windows and you could see for miles in any direction. We also decided to walk up two more flights of stairs and go outside. I just want to say that I have no fear of heights and I actually was enjoying the experience but as soon as I got outside I ran right to the bathroom and vomited again. I actually am proud because I'm sure I'm only one in a few that has done that about a quarter of a mile high in a building. After we went to the top we walked through some exhibits and then reentered the elevator. After we were back down we met up and went off to Freedom Square.
Freedom Square was beautiful. It is used as a concert hall and has three amazing buildings surrounding it. We saw it at the end of the day so we got the view from day and night. The whole day was great. I just wish I didn't feel so bad. I have no clue what it was from but I'm just guessing it was food poison.
