TAIPEI WATER DANCE FESTIVAL

We were able to catch one of the 5 nightly shows off the Songshan Xiikou Wharf's Rainbow Bridge on our drive into Taipei - rainbow colored lights flash along and water gush off the side of the bridge.

We went up to the 89th floor observation deck in the Taipei 101 Tower, which was the tallest building in the world when it opened in 12/31/2004 but is now #11. It's the only really tall building in Taipei's skyline and they have a fantastic firework display from it for Chinese New Year! It is also the only building that has their tuned mass  damper, exposed for public viewing on the 88th & 89th floors. A true engineering marvel! Also love the baby dampers who explain it all around the exhibit.

All around the observation deck they have photo spots set up to entertain the fans! We had some fun with them!

A lot of people went to dinner in costume, but the full party started after at 8:30 pm with fun and games first, then the dance floor opened outside. I hand sewed our Pebbles & BamBam costumes.

SORONG (pronounced so wrong), our Destination Manager add "so right" ! Our last port in Indonesia for a while. On the way there, we celebrated the birthday of two our friends MaryAnn and Doris, with a sailor themed dinner in Thistle.
