Working in an international publisher for 14 years, I finally decided to leave this 7-11 like 24 hours job and try to really have a "life". As a super organized person, the first time in my life, I did not have a plan of what to do next but I do have a very long list of what I always wish to do if I had time. So one item on my long wish list is to write a blog. A blog to introduce Taiwan from a local and international person's eyes. Taiwan is not just an small island on the east side of China. And NO, we are not Thailand. And we have many nice and famous stuff more than chips (computer chips, not Walkers) and bicycles. There are beautiful mountains with tea houses, hot springs, old towns with beautiful ceramics shops. And yes, we kind of keep it for ourselves and don't promote them much. In Taipei, there are funcky, cool loung bars, night clubs, cigar bars, sport bars. So if you happen travel to Taiwan for business next time, apart from spending half day to visit the National Palace Museum or the 101 building (the tallest building in the world so far), you can try to explore many hidden things. As one of my English friends told me, why do you have all the nice and fun cafes hidden in those small streets and allys and none of us foreigners can find them. My reply is "Hum...We are Chinese, we like to pretend to be mysterious. ".
