Impressed

i'm quite impressed with the politeness of taipei people.

wherever you go, you hear people saying, "excuse me, may i pass?", "thank you", "you're welcome", "please..." all-the-time! at first i felt awkward receiving this kind of extra kindness, being a rude north american, i'm used to people pushing me in the subway escalator when i block their way, i'm used to people brush my arms accidentally on the street without looking back and say, "i'm sorry, are you ok?"

another thing i'm quite impressed is the shopping and food in the shopping malls that linked by sky bridges to the theater and taipei 101 tower. thousands of high end stores will make u shop until you can't walk anymore.

YAA! TAIPEI ROCKS!!
