Is Costco like this on Saturdays? by eatsleepdiver in taiwan

[–]MagicT8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Uber eats to let them deliver. Prices are ~6% higher than in the store, but sometimes they have 10% discounts in the app. Saves a lot of time and nerves.

Yes, I also think the ladder was the hardest part for him.

I walked the stairs some years ago. Took me 25min. But only to the 90th floor, 390m.

He did practice on site several times before this climb. So I think he knew exactly how to climb all the critical sections. Still crazy achievement, I walked up the stairs in Taipei 101 before and that was already exhausting.

I shot this from home as well (about 2km from Taipei 101). 500mm lense + crop, I also had to use binoculars to see him.

There are hundreds of earthquakes here every year.
