Taiwan Trip Day 3 : SOGO, Godiva Specialty Store, Taipei 101 & 鼎泰豐 Din Tai Fung

It was kinda sad that we had to change our Taiwan Trip itinerary due to typhoon. Poor Wifey coz she planned the whole itinerary but when the news of typhoon came, we had to change our plan and just stay indoor to avoid the heavy rain and strong wind. SOGO is one of the famous shopping malls in Taipei and it’s a must go place to shop. They have all the luxury brands here, so make sure you bring along enough cash. I realized that...
