TOKYO TO TAIPEI
We boarded the plane and discovered that again we had been bumped up on a very full flight. Unlike United, ANA offered a meal on their 3 hour flight and beverages included wine. We had the chicken with pasta in a marinara sauce, a side salad, and fresh fruit with a glass of white wine. A little more reading of my e-book and we were in Songshan.
TAIPEI AIRPORT
We arrived about 12:30 pm and went through customs with no problems. We got our suitcases and found AndreAna waiting for us on the other side. Songshan is a smaller airport than the Taoyuan International Airport. First impression is that It appeared to be smaller and easier to travel through.
We decided to have lunch at the Subway in the airport. A group started setting up for a live performance of local music a little before we left to take a taxi home to the apartment. I took this as a welcome to the city.
It was a nice drive down wide boulevards, very green with lots of trees and colorful flowers and shrubs. This airport is located in the center of the city, not likeTaoyuan where we had to stay in a hotel in the area the night before because it was so far from downtown.
We got to our apartment and just relaxed. I took a nap when Andreana went back to work and then she brought dinner home from the chinese cafe on campus. I like their duck dinner and truly enjoyed my dinner in the company of my daughter and husband.
We talked a while and then went to bed. Although there is an 11 hour difference in the time from San Antonio to Taipei-- our day is their night-- we were so tired we fell asleep and slept all night.
