Really, i do. Absolutely.
sure, being that i admitted to being a 'weeaboo', you'd think that my favourite country is Japan and that everywhere else sucks, but while yes, i love Japan and i put him on a pedestal, i also love Taiwan very, very much.
Therefore, after spending 2 weeks in Taiwan this spring, these are the 10 things i learned about Taiwan.
1) The Weather is REALLY humid. Which, on a hot day can be excrutiating, but when it's warm or cold out, it's REALLY good for the skin. soft and supple skin, all day, every day, without lotion <3
2) 7-11 (and other convinience stores) are everywhere and has everything. Like, EVERYTHING.
3) most stores seem to have a threshold (one level higher than ground level). so if you're like me, you'll faceplant a few times. … in front of everybody.
4) Night markets are the best for bright lights, good food, and cheap, adorable goods.
5) Department stores (generally, SOGO and Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, respectively) are TALL instead of WIDE like in the Western world. and everything grouped neatly so you don't wander in circles. Also, the food courts are UH-MAZING.
6) You see mopeds everywhere. EVERYWHERE. but they're superfun to ride. :)
7) officers will squish you into the metro and if you have a stop coming up, you had best head over to the door RIGHT NOW, or you won't be getting out on time.
8) Old people use Japanese words to refer to family members. (at least from what i observed)
9) School uniforms seem to either be brightly coloured tracksuits, or a sailor-esque shirt and skirt, which is awesome. either comfy or adorable, neither of which mine is. 0.0
10) It's a friendly, welcoming nation with freedom of speech and expression. I definitely want to go back one day. It's one of the most beautiful places i've ever been in my life. <3
well, that's about it then! :D
hope that was … informitive… and that you enjoyed it ^_^
i'll be updating regularily from now on, on Mondays and Thursdays. :)
(I quit gymnastics by the way) :/
