On Taiwan

There are a few things I really like about Taiwan. After a whirlwind visit there last week I realized that in some ways I miss the place.

• I miss the smell of 7-11.
  
• I miss the clean bustle of the MRT.
  
• I miss the long lazy taxi rides across town in the heat of summer
  
• I miss the green bowl surrounding the city of Taipei (when you can see it)
• I miss the computer market, definitely.
• I miss the technology of the place, the ceaseless renewing of things.
  
• I even miss some of the food. Not all of it, but moss burger I miss, and the instant street food.
  

After 4 years there I had had enough with everything about the place, but time and distance are good remedies and a return trip, short and eventful, was a lot more enjoyable than I expected it to be.
