And Taiwan. I really like it.
The heat, the humidity, the exhaust fumes,
even the negative aura that is indispensable to the grittiness of Asia,
Taiwan, for some reason, possesses a subtle elegance.

Starting with the National Diet Building and the Prime Minister's Office,
most public buildings are very classical,
and a European scent can be felt here and there.

Although I have visited Taiwan several times,

I don't feel the chaotic recklessness of Japan, where the dustiness of old buildings and the stark contrast with super-modern architecture are exposed with raw ego. Is the country's control properly maintained?

A refined elegance, with desires slightly restrained, draws me into a nostalgic mood.

And the people of Taipei, who love to eat,
Inexpensive and delicious. The seasoning suits the Japanese palate.
A simple soup of beaten egg and raw seaweed, like clear broth, costs only ninety yen.
And the flour-based dishes are simply superb.
Pan-fried dumplings, crispy and thin, light, and piled high, for one hundred and fifty yen.
The profound flavor of xiao long bao, the pinnacle of diverse steamed dishes, for two hundred yen.
With just three hundred yen, one can have a midday paradise.

Between bites, I'm working, said the man with a laugh.
To be continued.
