Amazing. Awesome. Wonderful.  These are all understatements of my description of my 4-day visit to Taiwan this time!

I am actually going to Bangkok but since there is no direct flight from Vancouver, I decided to stop over in Taiwan to visit my friends here. I don’t regret it.  In fact, I’m glad that I did.

I enjoyed Taiwan even more this time than I did 2 years ago!  It is so great to reconnect with Paul, Bell and Luong (阿龍). They are all amazing hosts!  Because of them, I was able to do everything I loved doing during my 4-month stay here 2 years ago: singing via karaoke, enjoying the hot springs, shopping in the night markets, eating mango ice, car racing and air hockeying in the arcades!

I love how friendly the people here are.  I just don’t like humidity and heat so I will avoid being here during the summer in the future.  Among the 44 countries and over 154 cities I have visited, Taiwan and Melbourne are the only 2 cities I am so sure I will be back again.  I did come back to Taiwan in 2011 and stayed here for 4 months with Deon.  Loved it!  The day I left, I said I would be back and so here I am now.  I am leaving this city knowing I will definitely choose this place to be one of the 4 countries that I want to be in the future.

My latest fantasy is to live in 4 countries each year, 3 months in each city.  Two of those fixed choices are Vancouver and Taiwan.  The other 2 will change from year to year.
