Taipei and back in 61 Hours-Part 6-Enough time to buy a t-shirt?

After touring the street market, I jumped back into a cab to my hotel.  Loop #1 was completed! I was energized! It was 11 p.m.   

 

 At my hotel I hailed another cab to go to the Hard Rock Café for a t-shirt which I had promised my wife I would buy for her.  The cabbie got lost.  I was reading the map and using sign language to direct him.  It was raining. 

 

With my 15 minute segments ticking loudly in my head, we finally found the Hard Rock!  I dashed in, took 2 minutes to select a t-shirt, and made a mad sprint back outside to the waiting taxi to go back to the hotel.  Segment #2 was complete!   

I had predetermined I would stop at midnight and get some sleep. It was 11:45 p.m.  I still had 15 minutes left to see more of the city!   Fortunately, the subway station was across the street, but it closed at midnight, so I had to hurry. 

 

I ran across the street and took a quick 4 minute subway ride out and back one stop to familiarize myself with the system so I could maximize my time in the next morning.  It was Midnight! Segment #3 was completed and it was bedtime.

 

I called my wife, set four alarm clocks, and got 5 hours sleep.
