Brazil, Beer, BEAR, and Animals...Also Gondolas

Last weekend for me saw an excursion to many different places which kinda blew my mind.

But first, make it a Suntory time

'
Now that the mood is right we can begin.

Last Friday began with a visit to a local coffee shop (one of many)

It was filled with style, and beans, and a ladder.

All the beans pictured were for sale, many of them delicious.

Then after that came class and then night time.

Originally my night was just going to involve cracking open a bear and watching a recent 3 kingdoms TV drama in Chinese.

Bear beer

from Denmark

A lager

A fine lager.

However, a few sips in, my plans were cancelled when I found out about plans to attend a Brazil (hue hue hue) dancing night being hosted at an Arabian styled bar that included renting out a booth.

The flyer piqued my interest

The booth sealed the deal

The appetizers were incredible and the hookah was chill. They had some sort of Turkish blend and a menthol of sorts. Also those onion rings were the best I have ever had, and I don't even really enjoy onion rings.

The entertainment was wild as well.

br?

(Yes she kept her clothing on, deal w/it nerds)

Oh, and pictured below is the door to enter the venue. You had to rub the silver lamp on the second shelf up on the right there and the wall would pull back and move to the right (No I am not making this up).

Now here are some city pictures

The next day we ventured briefly to the Taipei zoo and Maokong Gondolas. On the way there we stopped by a farmer's market that had a bad ass coffee making machine.

Later we saw dude who I like to call the officially sanctioned Banksy of Taiwan 

(Nearly every electrical box here in Taipei is painted in this style by, I'm guessing this guy. That cop there was just talking to him casually. It was chill)

Now for some animals.

Look at those haughty birds strutting around with their beaks in the air like they own the place.

(They do)

PANDA

BEAR

YESSSS

:/

:>

I'd enjoy a spot o' tea with those two badasses

:V

It is exactly what it looks like

 Yea, I was thinking Princess Mononoke as well....

:3



After these few pictures were taken, the zoo began to close so it was time to make way to the gondolas.

We then went for some tea and dinner in a lovely restaurant

(Best tasting lamb)

I also got pictures of the city at night while going down the gondola but they all turned out crap.

Instead have a forest hole I found in town.

It's full of plants and shit
