Bringing in the New Years | 2020 !

We started off our day by visiting the Presidential Palace. Before entering the palace you could see guards at every entrance, some with guns. There was barbwire going around the palace, and even though it was definitely short enough for someone to just jump over it, I don't think anyone would want to risk it. We had to drink our water, or what ever liquid we bought to demonstrate that our drinks weren't poisoned. Then they checked our bags and let us on our way. It was a beautiful tour, and we got to learn a little history about current and past presidents. Once our town was over, we headed to the ChungKai Shek Memorial Hall, which you will see in pictures below. It was beyond beautiful.

So this wasn't really a fun occasion, but I couldn't help but smile. We were at the police station reporting a stolen wallet. On our way to the hot springs one of us got picked pocketed for our wallet. It had a lot of valuables in it, but most of it is replaceable.

On our way to the Hot Springs. We couldn't have our phones while we were in the hot springs, but if I had to describe it, I would say its like a hot tub, but instead of your body feeling icky from the chlorine, you feel refreshed. I also managed to fall in one of the colder temped hot springs butt first, as I was trying to check the temperature of the water.

Outfit for the countdown to the New Year. We had a blast out on the town after seeing the fireworks at Taipei 101

had a quick little meal before we went back to change for the firework show.
