They say Taipei always rains. That's sounds like England if you ask me.
聽人家說台北經常下雨， 這有點像英國。 今天約了朋友在台北見面， 從捷運出來突然開始下小雨點， 然後愈下愈大， 結果差點兒整個人也濕透。 狼狽極了。 幸好朋友約的 咖啡店很別緻， 餐飲的盤子附有音樂盒， 一邊喝咖啡一邊聽音樂， 把剛才雨中掙扎的過程忘得一乾二淨。 好朋友聊天很快過了一個下午。 晚上坐客運回家時外面又下雨了.... 在車廂裏看雨中的台北101又另有一番風味。
BATTLING THE RAIN
I came out from the underground, strolling across to my rendezvous. I'm looking forward to meet friends that I haven't seen for nearly a year, and others that I've know for a while but never met in real life. Suddenly, drops of rain fall from above, then more and more follow. I hurry along, but it doesn't make any difference, they're still following me. Then I decide to make a dash for it as they're getting more and more annoying. It seems like they have a mind of their own and they come in truck loads, lapping onto me like a leeches. I know I'm a lovable person, but which part of "Get off me!!!!" do you not understand?? Finally I make it indoors and manage to get rid of them as they're not allowed inside. Ha! Ha! I look out of the window and they're still there. But its too late, they've succeeded in messing me up and I'm pretty much drenched. Screw you!!
THE RENDEZVOUS
I feel a bit better when the coffee arrives. Each tray has a music box on it and they open the lid when they place the tray in front of you. If you listen carefully you can hear the soothing tinkle. Very calming, especially after my horrid ordeal just now.
I treat myself to a waffle because I didn't have time for lunch as I was too busy battling with you know who just now.
TAIPEI 101
We had a great afternoon catching up with one another, and soon it was time to head home. The rain was back again, but this time I was on the bus so they didn't get me. Now it was my turn to watch them trying to catch somebody else out.
I watched as they tried to battle with Taipei 101, but I don't think they did very well. Every corner we turned, Taipei 101 was still standing tall and mighty, not afraid of them. This was a side of Taipei 101 that I haven't seen before. Strong and beautiful. Bravo!!

Thank you @creativecrypto!! It means a lot as I am not a very creative person, I sure do wish we will cross paths again!
