Hello Taiwan

Was in Taipeh for a few days on business trip for the first time. It's a nice city, beautiful weather. Of course it puzzled me how people would bundle up like a bah-zang even in temperatures of 24 deg. Out came all the long coloured stockings, boots, coats etc. We were dressed like as if in SG, normal blouses, slacks, in comparison to the Taiwanese people, a bit more "duh".

Experienced smelly tofu, umm, it's truly like bad long-kang water, enough to make one gag. But somehow I got the gung-ho spirit, able to eat a good half portion of it. Not bad, tastes like regular tofu, just smells like toilet. Taiwanese food is truly something different, very good, even better was Hakka cuisine which was extremely different. Hosting guests is a grand affair I think, even at lunch we were offered 11 courses. burp.

Went shopping and bought a long winter overcoat, and a leather bomber jacket. What do I need them for in sunny hot humid SG? Dunno, but they look nice mah.

Of course, signs of festive eating are showing already. Especially when one cannot fit into and button up brand new pants bought less than 2 months ago. Hamburger layers were bad before, now it's truly....spilleth over.
