A short and sweet post on one of my favorite places in the world, Taiwan. It was good to be back there. The friends I had made while I was there have almost all but left. Luckily, I was still able to see one. I was also fortunate enough to see some of the last parts of the island that I didn't get to see when I lived there, namely Taitung county, Jiufen, and any of the little islands off the mainland of Taiwan. I will generalize and say the culture fit comfortably in the middle-ground between Korea's self-conscious rigidity, and China's, sometimes wild, roughness.
Now in the Philippines and a full post on that in due time.
