buddy sze texted me last nite that she is going to taipei and so if i need to get sthg fr there. the msg prompted me to reminisce about those amazing days in taipei last year. i wish i could visit the country again some other time.
however, i hav mixed feelings abt this city, really. on one hand, i think most of the places are overrated tourist traps. but on the other hand, i love its weather and the hospitality of the people.
excellent hospitality afterall is a very subjective matter. but to me, as a lame tourist, i just need that kind of general sense or wellbeing most tourists would ask for which are safety and security, some basic value-added tourism facilities and warm and friendly locals. for that reason, i think there are few hospitables cities deserve my credits- berlin, bangkok and taipei. paris is not bad either. but i doubt communication and language barriers at those places except in taipei. oh perhaps, bangkok should be ok as well if i tag along ahpak kia to do the bargaining.
so, to my fren who is on vacation in taipei, hav lotsa fun, sze!!
