Yeah, I like it here, though I really miss my friends (and girlfriend) back in the states...

Having lived in Hong Kong and Beijing, I find Taipei to be about halfway between the two, culturewise. It's very modernized and westernized, as hong kong is, but also has the kind of sprawl that Beijing has. Hong Kong is really compact, but Taipei isn't, in physical area or in mindset.

EDIT: by the way, love the photography.

EDIT 2: If Billy (and the rest of you) doesn't mind, can I post some of my pictures of Taipei and the Mainland here, too?
