So now I must continue, but if you haven’t read my previous post, please do as it will help with the context. 
Obviously it took me a long while to get this post done because honestly, it is difficult to be detailed at each and every country and that my bed has been so inviting lately (my shoulder blades are aching) that I spent most of my time reading and watching TV. Bad, I know. But hey, here are the rest! I hope you enjoy reading! 
16. Principality of Monaco (Monte Carlo). Monaco is the world’s second smallest country (next to the Vatican) and a billionaire’s playground because this tiny country’s government does not collect taxes. They rely on their casinos for funding. Because of this, Monaco is where you can find the richest people evident by the cars on display in their streets, the posh hotels and the excessive amount of yachts. I am also not sure about how guarded the palace in Monaco is as I did not see much outside the palace’s grounds.

Remember this post about one of Taipei’s hot spring resorts? It was also during the same day that we went there, checked-in, and explored Xinbeitou as well as the Danshui area.

National Palace Museum
I like museums. Yes, I can stare at the pieces in it day and night and I probably will not be tired of the whole thing yet. As mentioned in this post a couple of years ago, I visited every museum I could when I went to New York. I found them truly fascinating and it will always be a thrill to go back. Unfortunately, I was bored out of my wits wandering around Taiwan’s National Palace Museum.

Here are some of the sights we have been around Taipei. There were a couple that we missed but we were generally happy at the places we went to.
Taipei Zoo
After checking in, we went straight to Taipei Zoo which was probably around 30-40 minutes away from where we stayed. Its train stop was even named after it along the Wenshan-Neihu line (aka Brown Line). The zoo was open from 9am-5pm but they don’t allow visitors after 4pm. For a good visit, I think half a day spent will suffice. We actually got in a little bit past 1pm and we were still able to move around and see things. The zoo was not crowded when we were there as well.
