Surprised By Taipei
December 27th, 2005Taipei, Taiwan
To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect from Taiwan. I heard a couple things but I didn’t think my trip would be as much fun as it was.
Arriving jet lagged into a bustling Asian city can always be pretty tiring but Taipei kept me awake with its fantastic nightlife and markets.
Taipei has some great markets so I decided to finally buy a digital camera. I was forced to really search for the place to buy it since Taipei likes to cluster certain products into concentrated areas. I took a taxi to the Computer Market where there were some great deals on computer equipment etc. The prices at the computer market were about $3,000NT cheaper ($100USD) than the prices on the main shopping street ????.
Welcome to my site and I hope you enjoy it. When I first travelled to Europe while I was in college I really had the time of my life seeing the many different types of cultures. The flavors of the food, the welcome of the people, the love shared across the world was so much greater than living in the United States ...
