Taiwan trip
I’ve been feeling jet-lagged ever since Monday, and it’s only today that it wore off me. Taiwan’s a lovely place to be in, especially if you’re a food junkie or you just love its geographical make-up. Other than that, the food, the people and the shopping habits are almost identical to locals.What disheartened me the most was the tendency of earthquakes in Taiwan. I remembered having to wait for an hour at a road block because the road up ahead was impassable; the recent earthquake had savaged half the road. What a beautiful place, what a terrifying monster Nature is.Skip the topic, let me talk about the people. They’re probably one of the nicest people in the world (of course, with exceptions). They wouldn’t give you space for bargaining there, but they give you extra stuff if you’re willing to buy in bulk. They don’t like to earn less; they like to give more. Okay that sounds absolutely ironic, but this is the case there.The weather’s a wild escape for people like us, who live in an all-summer place. The temperature dipped to 11°C when I first landed at the airport, and I had so much trouble rummaging through my luggage to fish out my scarf, jacket and an extra blouse. Despite that, I still had trouble keeping my fingers in my pocket and my teeth in my mouth because they kept rattling. I had to put up with my insufferable sinus until the third day, when the temperature began to climb up, painfully slow, as we traveled south.I’ve got so much to say but if I carry on typing my keyboard would get fed up and run away. Okay, I’ll end here.
