BeerCat is an interesting place. It’s a small bar that has a decent beer selection, and there are two resident cats who sit near the bar and do what cats do, sleep.

Scenery Books & Cafe, National Theater Hall, Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall, Taipei, Taiwan
In the morning I jumped on the train to head out to Taipei 101 to visit the observatory there. On the trip east I noticed that we went past the Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall so took a mental note to hop off the train on my return trip to visit.
It was around lunchtime when I arrived so headed into the National Theater Hall to see what the food options were and found a small place called Scenery Books & Cafe.

Tim Ho Wan, Taipei, Taiwan
I’ve eaten at the original Tim Ho Wan plus several other of their Hong Kong locations, and I’ve tried their Singapore location as well, so when I saw Tim Ho Wan pop up on my map I thought I’d better head there.

Le Blé d’Or, Taipei, Taiwan
After a quick flight from Seoul to Taipei I was ready to head out for a drink and dinner somewhere close to Taipei Main Station.
Across the road from the station is a shopping mall called Q Square, and along with lots of shops there are a good number of bars and restaurants. A quick look at the map and up the escalators to the fourth floor I was standing outside Le Ble D’Or with its interesting Chinese/German/Italian menu. In I went.

Novotel Suites Ambassador Seoul Yongsan – Seoul Dragon City, Seoul, South Korea
I will start off saying that the Novotel Suites Ambassador Seoul in Yongsan was a very good hotel, but it’s a little out of the the main part of the city and in a bit of a wasteland that is being redeveloped.
You get to the hotel along a long elevated walkway from Yongsan station. It’s a bit of a trek but you get used to it. If you have luggage use the lift to get to ground level.
It was only when I arrived that it dawned on me that there were actually 2 different types of Novotel’s in the same building. There’s the standard Novotel hotel but there’s also a Novotel that’s just suites. Probably positioned at longer term guests. I guess I just didn’t pay attention when I booked and I’d booked a room in the Novotel Suites. There are also two other hotels in the same building, an Ibis Styles, as well as a Grand Mercure.
