on the spur of the moment, peter and i decided to take the train to the port city of keelung to spend the afternoon. the last time i was in keelung it was pouring down rain and not much fun. this time it was much nicer, and we got to walk around the city more. i took lots of pictures, most of which didn't turn out very well.

one of the more interesting things we saw on this trip was this wishing well:

and here's the inside of the well. i guess if your coin lands in one of the rotating palms your wish is more likely to come true.
