Mabuhey sa Taipei!
even with half a pint of Chinese blood running through my veins, I still do not know how to properly greet people in Mandarin.
So this is Taipei, where I am at right now.
The Taoyuan International Airport terminal 2 is simply grand. By that I meant every space is used wisely and no danger of being eaten by a black hole.
Like these living room-style receiving ports outside the Arrivals area with trees to match. Each major post is a meeting point with a number to boot so waiting for either your guest or the one to fetch you would be utter easiness.
Buses are cheaper to use when going to the city. There, I dropped off at the Taipei Central Railway Station where, like JR Tokyo, everything is accessible – the HSR or the high speed train, the MRT (you know this already) and the buses. And again much similar to Japan, it now has English signs to assist Mandarin idiots such as I am to wander around easily.
Have to check out the Taiwan sights. For now, enjoy this:
