Day 77 + 4: Central Taiwan and Taipei

There really isn't much to report for this day, there was a typhoon hitting Taiwan, while it rained a lot over the night, by the time we woke up at Charlotte's friends house it was barely raining.  While the south of Taiwan got hit pretty hard the fact that we were on the west side of the island with a large mountain range in the center of the island it stopped most of the rains from hitting the area, in fact where we were got the least rain of any part of Taiwan.  Of course we didn't know this at the time and kept preparing for the eye of the storm to pass and more rain to come.  By 6 they said the trains would start running again so we went to the closest city and got tickets back to Taipei. 

Before getting our train we stopped for a foot massage and then got some more hotpot.  When we got back to Taipei there was absolutely no wind, but it looked like there had been as signs where all blown over and even some mopeds were knocked over.  That night after we got back, around 1am the winds started up again, but not much more rain hit.
