Who likes puppets? How about a museum full with them? somewhere in Taipei ... Unfortunately at the time I could go and search for the Geocache the museum was already closed.
While geocaching in Taiwan I learned a few things, one of them is that there are not too many geocachers in Taiwan, and even less who hides geocaches. Another important thing is that most people do not care that you are searching, not a single muggle ever asked or looked longer than a second to see what I'm after, not even when we were searching close to the police station, they also did not look like they know what we are up to. Most muggles are just minding their own business.

| What a cap color and still safe when hidden |
As you can see the cap is that bright color, and still it was in place and did not go missing. When I was
Searching for it there was a bus paking alomg the road but the driver did not even look at me. I felt a bit strange I was expecting more interest from the people. Maybe that is why the word is not spread amongst muggles as they do not care.

Taipei is really a busy place, most neighbourhood I visit was busy late, especially areas with their famous night markets, and there are many of them. This was not my first visit to Taipei, and my tour guide and translator during my trip helped me a lot, including the search at some harder to find geocaches. Now this one? This was a really quick find, I'm still wondering why muggles never removed this before, but for sure it is a good thing for all of us who wants to find it.

The sign above the entrance. This photo I took with flash that is why it is so readable. On this trip I did not really have time to do any geocaching during daylight, but still it was lots of fun.
The entrance, not the best picture and I wish I could share a few photos from inside, but it was closed.
The route we took to walk to this geocache we saw many many stores already selling the local cookies for the Chinese New Year celebrations, and all the ingredients you might need. So let me share a restaurant, we passed by.

Of course with European eyes not the most inviting one, but I had dinner at one similar before. Always ask locals if they go there regularly and they say it is safe to eat there that is when you should go only.
Many thanks for the cache owner for this hide without this geocache I am sure I did not go this area.
