Old buildings are more kept as it is. Also probably because of frequent earthquakes, building design takes a more "tiles" approach.. I suppose. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #nanxi

Opposite also got one wor. Ah.. they are not really competitors. Here is more about selling portable handheld machines and they guide you to arrange your words and print. But they will direct you over to Ri Xing to get your words or alphabert. They also do have some type.. but more modern and plastic based. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #datong #aletterpress #letterpress #?????

Surprisingly they don't make the goods. Only sell the leather, so you may have to contact the leather makers seperately. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #ampleleather

Oh.. seems quite similar to the soup I had in Taichung. But this.. the meat is less minced and less starchy. And it come with rice ??. #taiwan #taipei #velverseinvadestaiwan #?? #?? #?? #traveltheworldwithvelverse #velverse2019travel #instatravel  #travelogue #travelgram #velverseiseatingagain #velversefindeatintaiwan #instafood #foodstagram #foodporn #foodoftheday #??makan??? #mincedpork #porksoup
