taipei

everybody has lots of energy at night...they gave us lots of ideas.
At the beginning of arrival at Taiwan, I could smell differently akin to Chinese sesame oil mixed with lots of fresh vegetables and meats with herbs. In smelling it, needless to say, I got hungry so much even though I ate lots of meal in the airplane. On arriving at the South East Asia, I always smelled something special connecting with their countries’ main food. What does Japan smell like? As far as concerned, it is likely soy source with little bit sweet smell. How about Korea? It is probably traditional pickle, KIMUCHI.
A lot of the rich ran away from the communist party in China to Taiwan in the 20 centuries. On the way to downtown, I could see many rich cars like BMW, Benz, Toyota through dirty bus’ windows, and a old guy looked at outside, staring at that scene but thinking nothing woebegone. He seems to go back to his family after working harder. We do not know who is the happy. Which is happier, the rich or the poor? But surely everything depends on how you feel your own heart. Everyone has different life. There is no use comparing with different people. We should ask ourselves as we lost the way because nothing but their hearts knows everything. The old guy must be happy because his deep wrinkle told me everything…
Taiwan is actually much hotter and drier place than Japan. People in Taiwan usually want to stay inside to escape from sun talking with because they save energy for night. It is easily feel big different between morning and night. There are bunch of night stands from everywhere not only weekday but weekend and eat out after playing something with family, which are something nostalgic since we Japanese used to have. They seem to be strong connection between parents and children, but relationship between them in Japan gets weaker and weaker and lots of kids do not go to school because of losing family love…some children do not know what is a correct way unfortunately. In Taiwan the smiling face between parent and children are vivid and enjoy talking with each other. That was how wonderful it was. We have to recall that good memory.
Food in Taiwan is really fantastic. They are mixed with all over Chinese food and local food, and then taste was arranged for Taiwanese, which I love. I could not stop eating when smelling food from shops even though I was full. It is easy to find variety food like vegetable, fish, meat and taste is not too oily but excellent. What is more, it doesn’t cost much, which means it is always ready to eat everywhere. Every night stands were crowed. So the atmosphere also makes people hungry…
