Okinawa and Taipei - Day 6: En route and Arriving in Taipei

Last day in Okinawa and it was a windy one.  We went to KFC in Okinawa (because I just had to :)) - and there was rice balls being served. 

We also made some purchases at Don Quiote - a bottle of Mount Fuji sake, and some candies and chips

We arrived back in Taipei towards the evening, and took a bus out of the airport which would drop us 0.5 miles from our hotel.  The hotel (called FX Hotel) was pretty nice.  Very new décor and trendy looking.  Room was pretty big and the bathroom was pretty cool.  It was also very near the subway so super convenient!  They also offer free umbrellas for loan (since I guess it rains a lot in Taipei?)

For the first night that we arrived, we had a hot pot dinner.  This ended up costing 1661 NTD.
It was yummy, but not sure if it was ~$55 USD yummy.  But with very few places open and being super tired, this was alright.

Side note - my back's been hurting.. I wonder if it's because of too much walking in the last two days?

Summary of What was Eaten Today:
Dinner @ Hot Pot Place by the FX Hotel
Total Spent: NTD 1661
What we had:
    Different plates of beef, duck and vegetables.  Pictures are worth a thousand words… .. .
Total for the Day: NTD 1,661 = ~$55 USD

Note: This was the most money we would spend in a single meal in Taipei.
