Taipei super runner...

I joined a running competition today...

We went up early in the morning...

Many runners were there...maybe more than 10000 (which i guess is much for beeing taiwan).

Me and my classmate Pablo were the ones who participated...but we had great support from another classmate as well...it was just in front of the presidential palace...

Everyone started at the same time...it was thus like Vasaloppet...
I better b in the front, since I hate having to push myself through slow people...
I think I got the time 45 mins something...which was ok...since I really never felt tired...and didnt have time to eat anything before the race...

There was alot of freebees that was given to the participators...however people needed to queue to get them...
super long queues...

Afterwards people got diplomas...

And there was also a lottery, based on the start number...but we didnt have energy to wait  for the drawings to finish...

We didnt sleep that much in the night (especially me, who drank tea in the afternoon the day before)...so we were kind of tired...and hanged near some stage where they played music...before we went back to the hotel...

Last pic, but after the run...of the palace...

We passed by sheng kai shek's memorial hall on our way back to the hotel...I have never been there before..I have to visit it some day...

The hotel cooperated with Mosburger...so we picked our breakfast there...

It was knd of stupid...since our breakfast coupon was on 100nt, but the most expensive set was only 65nt...and we coulnd add extra things on the coupon, we had to pay extra...

The hotel didnt have floor 4, since that means bad luck...(the pronounciation is like the word for death or something).

After the checkout we went to a german restaurant in taipei city...

It was the same beer that I tried at casino cosmopol in Gothenburg earlier this summer...it was good, but more bitter than in sweden...

I ordered some Tyroler pan, but got swedish pytipanna...it was good...

They also had some souvenirs...with the german flag on

We also passed by ikea before it was time to go home...and perhaps sleep alittle bit more...
