The last time I was here I was 10 years old. 16 years had since flew by, and boy what a difference.
To be fair, Singapore was not exactly what I considered glamourous 16 years ago. Today, Taipei is a cosmopolitan city with all kinds of gorgeous restaurants, bars, shopping malls. The night markets are lined with trendy stuff and rock bottom prices. The services are fantastic and people are friendly and polite. If Shanghai and Beijing has anything to learn from a Chinese-styled city, this is the place. I am truly impressed.
Of course, it must be taken into consideration the amount I had actually seen of Taipei. Since touching down, I had only managed the airport, the interiors of two cars, the hotel, the work studio of my to-be business partner, a couple of malls, the interiors of many pretty restaurants and finally a small night market last night.
Nevertheless, it is still just a city. Not too interesting for a visitor except that I met up with two very good friends from my distant life in London. That part was nice.
