I arrived and had a quick walk around the waterfront and then headed to Tamsui Old Street which is an old fashioned market street that was busy with locals doing their shopping.

As I was walking back to the station area I saw a small little cafe and decided to go in rather than to the nearby Starbucks (yuck!).
