Taipei in the summer heat – not my ideal kinda holiday.
Nevertheless, street food and shopping makes up for everything!

We conquered Ximending and Shih-lin Night Market.

Ximending is very much similar to Myeongdong Korea.
Similar youthful vibrance and pulsating energy.

Sheraton at Chung Hsiao Taipei!
One of those hotels in which I had zero trouble falling asleep
and staying asleep  till I had to drag myself out for work.

"Do you see the story? Do you see anything?... It seems to me I am trying to tell you a dream - making a vain attempt, because no relation of a dream can convey the dream sensation... No, it is impossible; it is impossible to convey the life-sensation of any given epoch of one's existence - that which makes its truth, its meaning - its subtle and penetrating essence. It is impossible. We live, as we dream - alone." Marlow in Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad.
