On our last day in Taipei, we were too lazy to travel anywhere so we decided to just walk down Chongqing South Road (aka 書街) which was near our hotel. After a late breakfast, we wandered there and I made my way through almost the entire street of bookstores. I actually prefer those bookstores there as compared to Eslite since they are less busy and more suited for casual browsing. Discounts were also more substantial and I like to support independent bookstores anyway so it was a win win. Most of the staff are actually quite friendly and though some of the bookstores are jam-packed and it can seem difficult to find what you need, you can always ask the staff to search for specific titles.
After wandering around the bookstores, we stumbled upon a Singapore barbershop in some small street at Ximending. Lol, it wasn't opened that day but it was weird to see a shop with the name Singapore in it.
We also went to the branch of the famous Raohe pepper biscuits and bought 3 of the biscuits for as snacks for the bus ride to the airport.
And with that we ended our Taipei trip. There's been so many changes since I went there 10 years ago with my mum and aunt. While the trip was enjoyable, I'm not sure if I'll go back Taipei again, perhaps I'll explore the other parts of Taiwan instead.

Doesn't this look like a tandoori oven?
