ritzy in dizzy taipei

i've just completed a long e-mail update to my friend. I'll sum up my taipei experience with this.





when everyone throng the bustling bargain markets lined with a messy colourful array of neon lightings, and when youths flock to glittering shops offering a mindblowing trendy field of anything that can be put on the human body, i stood there, unfazed by everything that comes by except those which i can literally stomach. An unappealing mass of junk i must have thought to myself.

But hey, i capitulated at the final moment, just when i was about to be the only person in the world not to scrap home a single piece of 士林 or 西门町's great bargains and to leave Taipei empty handed and be the biggest loser and failure as a tourist, i unfashionably, and defintely unconventionally, landed myself with this polo T-Shirt.

outlandish and outrageous isn't it.

No less a glitzy affair in Taipei.
