^^ of course i had to take a picture with the colorful poops!! lol ^^
^^ it was so fun seeing Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, the pandas! ^^
^^ we had a little too much fun with these hippo statues!! ^^ 
We returned to the Zoo three days later and we got the chance to ride the Maokong Gondola on Christmas day. It was even more amazing than i had expected, i mean for one, everything was covered in Hello Kitty! Also the ride was incredibly high up and kind of scary (especially for G) but the views were spectacular.
^^ the view was a bit hazy and foggy but can you spot Taipei 101? ^^
When we reached the end of the line we went into the first tea house we saw, right outside the Gondola station. We were starving so we ordered waffles, as well as citrus and peach tea. A friend recommended the tea house and we thought this one was the one but after eating, we walked around and realized there are countless tea houses around this area.
When we rode the gondola back we decided to stop at one of the stations and visit the Zhinan Temple.
