Chung Hwa Road

The Wonstar had been full so I had booked us into the Landmark Inn 12 doors down on what we thought was the same road. We went for a walk after breakfast to get our bearings and got confused when we didn’t recognize anything. Back at the hotel the receptionist explained that, yes we were on Chung Hwa Road alright, but not in Taipei City. We were somewhere in Taipei county. We were off the map a 15 minute bus ride to the nearest MRT station. Nice hotel though.

Wonstar or One Star?

We arrived at the hotel we had booked on the Internet. A downpour of rain came from nowhere. We had thought that the hotel was called the “One Star” which is a pretty stupid name for a 3 star hotel, but when we arrived, we saw that it was called the Wonstar. Not much better if you ask me.

We weren’t allowed to check in until 2pm (did they get that from the Japanese?) so out we went into the rain to kill an hour.
