Impressions on Taiwan

We landed in Taiwan at around 3:30 pm local time. Taiwan is one of Asia's "four dragons" aka the pride of economic Asia. The other 3 are Singapore, Japan, and China. Therefore its quite a modern country, if I may call it so.

We ate afterwards at the Zen Teppanyaki Grillto the treat of my aunt. The food was nothing short of spectacular to say the least. I'll try to elaborate tomorrow.

Grillin'

Since its late right now I'll just say that Taiwan is amazing judging by just the hotel services that we have experienced. I've been to Taiwan several times so I'm really speaking more so to Will Jesse and Ben. I'm sorry that I won't say much more than showing you how to contact us.

To reach us by phone call 011-886-33269900 which will get you to the front desk of the Monarch Plaza Hotel in Taoyuan. Ask for room number 1518 for Ben and I or 1512 for Will and Jesse.

Cheers



I'll probably write more in the morning as its getting way past my normal bed time.

Four Tigers..
Actually they are Taiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Korea. The term Four Tigers was coined before China economy took off decades ago. Nowadays people talks more about B.R.I.C.

Taiwan is a place to visit with "heart" and "stomoch" rather than "eyes". It doesn't have designs of grand scale (unlike Beijing) or glittering skyscaper (unlike Shanghai or Hong Kong) but a place with genuine hospitality (again unlike Hong Kong or Shanghai) and endless restaurants catering to all tastes.

It is modern with strong western and Japanese cultural and economic influences. It is also the only place in the world with authentic Chinese traditional cultures.

Enjoy your stay at Taiwan.
Toayuan is a city of half a million, 30 minutes (by car) south of capital city Taipei and is the host of the international airport.
