Taipei! Taipei! Taipei! Just landed in Taipei and now resting in a hotel after having a gluttony session of seven days in Singapore! I hope the food here will be as tasty as those in there :) Tomorrow after figuring out the mass transit system, I will be spending my entire day or two at the National Palace Museum. I had brought with me an empty luggage just in case there are things I would like buy. After the hot and humid tropical weather in Singapore, I welcome the respite of coldness here. Still it is not that cold that I cannot wear my shorts. I had an interesting conversation with the Taxi driver and he could understand my spoken Mandarin! How wonderful even though sometimes, we included some English when I could not express well. I am amazed at his tenacity in learning how to speak English using Google Translate on his iphone and how I can understand his spoken English without problem! Taiwan is going to be a very interesting place for me for the next seven days.
