after 3 nights in Taipei...

i realised it was a bad choice to come here for 2 weeks. cos this place is so sian. HK is about 500% more exciting and vibrant. yeah. there's absolutely nothing going on around my hotel, except for a 24hr Mac. the weather's a little erratic too, alternating between very hot weather and a thunderstorm. i pretty much spent my time online and watching TV which is an amazing thing to do cos there are so many channels and variety shows to watch.

the amount of motorcycles on the road reminded me of Vietnam. well, one good thing about Taipei, it is less crowded compared to HK and back home. plus, so far i have not seen a single Ah Tiong, which is a good thing. you don't want too many of them when having a holiday, trust me.

Taiwan has very strong Japanese influence. Jap restaurants everywhere and most of them are quite good. SOGO stores are everywhere too. went for dinner at this restaurant called Momoyamma and the food was neat. the set meal i ordered cost NT1680 and that's about $84. it has shabu shabu beef with lobster soup. haha shit, did i say my plan was to lose weight here?!
