Where is the Library?

So I promise I'm not being the ND study nerd of the last few years, but I was looking for the library this last weekend to study for the LSAT and use the Internet--since mine at home doesn't work. But it was super hot and I had no idea where the place was. So I went to Da'an where I heard a library was located and walked a bit and found a cool road-side temple (there are tons of them here and every car repair shop has a small Buddhist shrine for some reason, but this was the coolest one I've seen).

Because it was too hot so I stopped in a coffee shop to study then went back past the U.S. "embassy" and took the train to Beitou and walked a bit before giving into the heat and going home. Then I went back to give it one more shot to find the library in Da'an I succeeded. The problem was that I got there it was closing. So I hung out in the huge park across the street.

Let me say that never in my life will I ever go in another sauna. I live in one here and since I'll be here for a few years I will have more sauna time than any sane person ever should.

Two things I miss: being able to watch the Olympic Trials live. I wished I could see Michael Phelps kick ass and my old high school nemesis, Galen Rupp, run the 10k. The second thing I miss was being able to see my cousin Rich get married with the rest of my whole extended family. And in case Rich is reading this, Congrats Man! You made it easier for all of us.
