Taipei: The Super Tall Skyscraper - Taipei 101

The Taipei 101 is a super tall skyscraper located at Xinyi District of Taipei. It was officially classified as the world's tallest building in 2004 until UAE completed the Burj Khalifa in Dubai at 2010. The picture below is a Tuned Mass Damper mounted in Taipei 101 building, this is to reduce the amplitude of mechanical vibrations from a strong force like strong winds or earthquake.

We were based in Tainan, so we searched where to buy a round-trip rapid train tickets from Tainan-Taipei-Tainan. Hotel receptionist informed us that we can buy it using ibon at 7-11. ibon is a machine where you can buy/reserve tickets and print documents from your flash drive (Not sure what else it can serve) at any 7-11 in Taiwan. 

It was indeed convenient, the only inconvenience (for us) was the Chinese language, so we had to ask for assistance from 7-11 staff on how to buy rapid train tickets. Ticket was a bit pricey though.
