I so love Taiwan :D

10 things I like about Taiwan:

1. The "cutified" Mandarin - it's hair-raising just hearing the gals speak!

2. The tall cute guys - I suspect the rice they eat is good for growth.

3. The freedom of speech - Taiwanese speak as they like, act as they wish, fight as they please.

4. The countless night markets - You sure won't be bored at nite.

5. Mayday - the country that gives us Mandopop and the unbeatable, rockifying 五月天.

6. The variety shows - Gogo Jacky Wu!

7. The "Big5" Chinese - traditional Chinese characters that would soon be unrecognisable by younger generations.

8. The friendly service - pseudo or not, I still like the warm greetings and ready smiles.

9. The Taiwanese snacks - good food is everywhere!

10. The winter that doesn't snow - walking in air-conditioned outdoor is such a breeze.

And here are some lovely shots I rediscovered from my albums:

In autumn, the leaves of the trees in Taroko Gorge were gone with the wind.


Dawn breaks at the horizon of Pacific Ocean in Hualien.


Jiufen has a way of greeting you with its old charm.


Signboards and neon lights shine bright in Taipei Ximending.


Rock with the crowd at outdoor gig.


Eat till you burst at steamboat buffet [吃到饱(爆)] of all sorts.
