Ecstasies of joy - Taipei







Taipei is a remarkable place. Eight days of stay was insufficient to satisfy young souls like us. Great weather and sumptuous meals at shocking low prices. The shopping was insane, I really love it so much. I bought a whole lot but I want more. If I had to list a shortcoming, it would be none other than the polluted air. We had to put on a mask to avoid inhaling excess toxic. It was unbearable. The locals appeared to be amiable, kind and helpful. I adore the sunset at dan shui the most, beautiful. I fell in love with stinky tofu, it's incredibly delicious. I'm about to drool now gosh... It was a guilty pleasure to stuff myself with so much food simultaneously. And come on, having koi everyday wasn't a big deal over there because it's dead cheap. A total of 1094 photos taken and I developed 200 of it. Now I'm encountering difficulty aligning them nicely in my photo album. It won't be able to fit all. So yea, I have to spend some money to get a new album in no time. I want to go back to Taipei again, probably next year? Let's see how everything goes for me.

For a moment my mind started drifting

Sun streaming through the windows and brightened the whole room. Just then I realised that it was morning. It felt like I've only slept for 5 minutes and had to jump out of bed to prepare for work, again. Now that I'm here, I was pacing back and forth, staring into blank spaces and moving people for the past one hour. "A heart that's full up like a landfill. A job that slowly kills you. Bruises that won't heal." Beautifully written. I really like Radiohead.

I do take strangers' and friends' comments and opinions into heart easily. I know I shouldn't but... What a shame. Today is April's fool, as well as my 35th month with Dan. Someone actually tweeted that Seoul has been hit by a 8.7 earthquake and tsunami. I doubt it's true. A constant reminder to myself that it's April's fool day. I'm trying not to be gullible today, especially today.
