$100 Taxi Ride: (Ep8) - Taipei/Liverpool

Jih Hsiang Lin aka Shaun our cabbie spent his teenage years in the United States which would account for his unusual Texan accent. He also has an appetite to go with it, so we are never far away from the next meal. We visit the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial Hall and reminisce about the Generalissimo's role in battling Communism. Then we imitate the guards; apparently they can go a whole shift without blinking! That's dedication for you. Next is a dance with cheerleaders and then it's off for a night on the town and, oh yes, a bowl of snake soup! Next stop Liverpool, the birthplace of the Beatles where we first visit the famous Grapes Pub where the Fab Four used to hang out. Here we meet Ronnie Hendry our cabbie, who shows us the real Penny Lane and Strawberry Field. We climb to the top of the Liver Building for a great view of the city and take a closer look at the statues of mythical liver birds which adorn the top.
