So we're going to visit the attraction we've
been waiting for.

We're heading to Taipei 101 (臺北101 - 台北101).

This was the tallest building in the world
at one point.

It no longer is so yeah it should be fun and
we should be able to get some great views

Alright, so you purchase your tickets on the
fifth floor.

We're going to take the elevator there right
now.

How excited are you to ride to the top of
Taipei 101 (臺北101 - 台北101)?

I mean this is one of the coolest tower buildings
in the world.

The views we're going to get it is going to
be insane.

So you're basically looking at just under
twenty US bucks.

So not cheap but I think it is going to be
worth it.

Yeah, it is eleven fifty on a Monday guys.

Eleven fifty on a Monday maybe that is the
perfect time.

When we both got off we thought man that felt
like it was only like five or ten seconds.

And to get up that high it didn't feel like
it is as powerful as you would think.

So once upon a time this was the tallest building
in the world.

Taipei 101 (臺北101 - 台北101) actually
dethroned the Petronas Towers (Menara Berkembar Petronas) and then it

was dethroned by the Burj Khalifa (برج خليفة).

But yeah, we're like so high up here it is
crazy.

I spy with my little eye someone doing a timelapse.

And because this is one of the tallest towers
in the world it just makes everything else

Like even these other tall apartment buildings
I'm looking down and I'm like man it looks

Obviously they are not but that is just how
high up we are.

Yeah, it is a bit of a grey day and we don't
have blue skies but I mean at least it is

So we ate not too long ago but Sam has spotted
some pineapple cake (鳳梨酥) and all of

a sudden he has an appetite so we're going
to sample one of those.

So it is time for pineapple cake (鳳梨酥).

Like we've been wanting to try this kind of
all week but we just kind of actually we kind

There is one pineapple cake (鳳梨酥) with
mixed fruit and pure pineapple cake.

We had to pay a little bit more but still
this is really cheap.

This was only 40 Taiwan dolllars which is
just like slightly over maybe like a dollar

twenty or a dollar twenty five US or something
like that.

It is very dense and then you can taste the
pineapple filling in the middle.

And now that I'm chewing more of the inside.

We are now heading inside the wind damper
(風阻尼器) and this is a giant pendulum.

It is six hundred and sixty tonnes and it
basically swings inside the building.

It helps it withstand earthquakes, tremors,
typhoons.

Any kind of harsh weather that comes its way.

We have to walk through a coral museum in
order to exit.
