Ep 1: Airline Inn, Vespa Ximending and Taipei 101

Picture
Upon arriving in Taiwan, Joanne-Marie checked into Airline Inn. This quaint, themed-hotel opened in 2012. It's convenient location (Ximending) makes it a very good choice for shopaholics and those who want to get a taste of Taipei's famous street foods. With eateries around every corner at all times of the day, one would never go hungry. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and having recently opened, it's furnishings were all in tip-top condition.  Although our claustrophobic Joanne-Marie couldn't quite understand the concept of getting out a plane, and then checking into a hotel that looks and feels just like another aeroplane, she did mention that the beds were extremely comfortable, and she had a very good night's rest. For booking / enquiries, you may check out their website here.

Just across the road, the next stop was Vespa Ximending. This flagship store not only sells scooters, but is also home to Vespa enthusiasts all around Taipei. With a cafe designed to emulate something out of the 50s, the walls held up pictures and photographs reminiscent of days where Vespa first shot to fame. The outlet also sold memorabilia and various Vespa accessories like keychains, stickers, sunglasses, helmets, and nearly every item you can think of that screams Vespa Lifestyle. You may find out more about their various activites and promotions on their facebook page.
