Peace Park - very near my hostel.  Apparently it is to remember the people who died in the 1947 massacre of civilians by police.  The hostel is very friendly and I've met many new friends from Boston, UK, Germany New York, Hong Kong and France.  This afternoon I signed onto the Youbike system.  You get a code number on your phone and its integrated with the transit card system.  With one card you can use the MTR, buses and bicycles.   I went for a lovely evening bike ride which cost me less than a Canadian dollar.
Tomorrow I'm off to Taizhong - a smaller city where the weather is warmer.  The train gets there fast as it goes up to 300km/hour.
