Taipei!

I spent the second week of October in Taipei

Somehow I thought I'll never return after that one trip there, but there I was again.

I stayed at a marvellous AirBnB flat right next to the Songshan Culture park, which used to be an old tobacco factory, now transformed into a trendy art district with galleries and museums. I visited the Taipei manga exhibition and it was loads of fun!

Days were mostly spent getting some work done, but I'd make the most of my afternoons and evenings by exploring the tiny alleys of Taipei.

10.10 was also the National Day of Taiwan - strangely few days after the Golden Week celebrations in China. The city was patriotic and people walked around with little Taiwanese flags. It was lovely.

I'd also venture out to some night markets, just to eat Taiwanese dessert and stinky tofu.

It was raining a lot during the trip. I even experienced a little 1 magnitude earthquake. Learning to appreciate more and more how lucky we are with the weather here in Shanghai.
