5.02am

okay yay i'm back home finally ((:
looking back, i have to admit that really
i was quite glad i went for this trip in the end.

not just cause my life here is 100x better
as compared to last year
(i think most would kill me if they knew
what i did every day :\)
but cause i guess this time's r and r
had more free time,
which meant less talkative tour guides,
less bus rides (okay maybe not this one),
more interaction with the locals,
better immersion into their culture and lifestyle.

other than the obvious language barrier,
i think i've come to like taiwan quite a bit.

taking extracts from my little yellow booklet
(where i write most my stuff since
the internet rooms there are never empty
and i'm not supposed to say anything anyway):

the pace of life is slower,
the streets are filled with ppl
who're not too bothered abt work or school,
and there's much more stuff to do here.
singapore's nightlife is peanuts compared to this la.
the ppl here are friendly,
they lead simple lifestyles.
they take into account needs not wants,
no stylish jaguars or mercs or bmws,
instead 70% of the population ride scooters,
while the rest drive the likes of toyotas and such.
seldom do you see ppl walking around
forever plugged in to their ipods,
instead they talk to each other
to friends and strangers alike;
there's more communication and interaction all around.
it really feels like a community,
whereas singapore's just like groups of individual ppl
living their own seperate lives.

of course i would like singapore
to be more like taiwan in that sense,
but since one boy cannot change the country,
i shall leave it just as that.
okay i'm sleepy i shall go sleep soon.
much as i like taiwan,
i'm really glad to be home la.
home is where the heart is after all.

because cider is the elixir of life
