One strange place I had heard about before going to Taiwan was the Modern Toilet Restaurants. Basically, it’s a chain of bathroom themed restaurants. So if course I had to check it out. The restaurant was interesting, but actually not as crazy as I had imagined it could be.

All of the seats in the restaurant are toilets, the tables are made out of bathtubs

French fries and a drink

The food is served in little squatter toilets

The drinks come in little urinals

Does this taste funny?

I saw these no birds sign on several buses.

Taipei has a really nice zoo. They do a pretty good job of making the animal enclosures look natural, with lots of room for the animals to move around.

Another concert, more rain. Three of the bands that played at the Summer Sonic Music Festival in Tokyo played at a smaller music festival at the Taipei County Stadium in Taiwan. And like all the Japanese concerts I went to in the last month, it was poring rain.

The Taiwanese fans looked like they were really enjoying the concert, but they were also much less crazy then at a American or Japanese concert, no crowd-surfing or mosh-pits.
