Made in Taiwan Shoes: Zobr, Hoofer, Dr. Kao

While in Taiwan, we discovered Made in Taiwan shoes and found them to be the perfect mix of comfy, professional nerdy, and a little bit of quirky cool for work. Some of the brands we tried on and bought were Zobr, Hoofer and Dr. Kao. These are the three female shoes we purchased (all for work): Dark blue pair = hoofer brand; Turquoise pair = Zobr brand; Brown pair = hoofer brand. I love the vibrant turquoise color of the main portion of these and the juxtaposition of the military (?) or forest (?) green trim on the bottom of the shoes. The only bummer for the Made in Taiwan shoes I've come across in Taipei is that they max out at size European 40. I feel some of these are a little snug at that size for me, so if there had been an option to try a larger size, I may have found a slightly better fit for these shoes. Overall, though, I am truly satisfied with finding these super comfortable shoes. What a great find to take back home with me and remind me of my ...

Quirky Wanderlust: Mr. Brown Cafe in Tamsui, Taiwan

We ventured a bit out of Taipei today! During our visit to the end of the red line metro / MRT spot of Tamsui (a city also known as Danshui), it was raining quite a bit, so after a delicious and fast lunch at Yeh's Wonton Restaurant, we walked around, perusing some adorable shops before deciding to settle down at Mr. Brown Café for some time. It seemed like it would be a cozy spot for a fikapaus / taking time out to enjoy coffee, rest, and company. Right away we learned of a buy own drink and get another free deal that is running all of July. Naturally we selected two drinks. And Viking Bear advised to also order a truffle cake as well. It was raining after all and our goal was to linger. We got two hot Mr. Brown cafe lattes. Loved the heart foam on top! And we loved the view! There was an open terrace where we had an excellent view of the water and the mountains, as the fog ebbed and flowed. We also explored the third floor which had an enclosed view of th...

Rose House Tea House, Taipei

The Rose House Tea House near metro / MRT Dongmen is fun to walk past during the day - the beautiful blue border, the Rose painting, and the elegant interior make for sweet dreams of British tea parties and European eats, while Taipei is grooving along adjacent to this gem. See the rich, vibrant blue bordering the Windows? And the wooden frame of the door? More allure abounds with the Tea & Art billboard to the left, however, of what it exactly saws, I'm not sure. Cute street side signage. Outdoor ceiling rose art. Inside does not disappoint with the beautiful flowers, the tres chic decor and details (hello gold faucet in the WC, complete with duck motif), the plush red chairs, etc. Look at those lovely (and super organized and aligned) shelves! Our table looked inviting upon our arrival, with a beautiful fresh pink rose and wine glasses adorning our place. With two hungry and restless little ones in tow we quickly requested if it was possible to remove...
