One of the first things we did in Taiwan was go to the top of Taipei 101 (formerly the world's tallest building) to take in the views of the city.

While waiting in line for the elevator (which happens to be the world's fastest), each person must (MUST) take a green screen picture. They told us a picture fits a maximum of three people. Not satisfied with that answer, my dad did his best sorority girl squat so the four of us could squeeze into one photo. With his green shirt and gray jacket, curved shoulders, and smooth head, he strongly resembles a turtle poking his head out of his shell.
They then played on the television monitors all the green screen photos on a loop. I'd like to think they did that not for commercial reasons, but rather to keep everyone on the thirty-minute line extremely amused. The best of the photos could make for a cool tumblr.

For New Year's, we were at the bar of the W Taipei, which has an amazing view of Taipei 101.
