Like most cities in the world, Taipei is prettier by night
And the fashions, well, A+ for effort - very long hair, very high sparkly heels, bows on blazers, quadruple tiered ra ra skirt combined with flouncy blouse, and faux (or real) Chanel to finish it all off. In New York, this girl would be laughed out of town by their Celine (or rip-off Zara) wearing sisters, but all this bling sure makes a city sparkle. I can't remember for the life of me right now where I read this yesterday (3 glasses of white), but the article was about fashion in Texas and it quoted one high end store owner who said he had dropped Céline from the store because it was too boxy and too black.
The guards at the Chiang Kai Shek Memorial dress very well - cropped tuxedo trousers and white laced boots. Very cool indeed (and just to let you know I thought that before the 3 glasses of white).
All the power company boxes have been painted with scenes of nature. I have never in any city noticed the power boxes. Maybe because they were just grey insignifcant boxes off the side of the road.
Tom Cruise apparently worked in the kitchens of the original Din Tai Fung once, looking quite handsome in his dorky jumper. But let me tell you a secret - Din Tai Fung in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong is way better.
