Taipei... the land I've been dreaming of since departing seems intent on conquering my energy. The heat sucks the exhuberance from me like wringing a dishcloth in the sink. I am becoming a western vagabond, napping on a bench by the pool until the lifeguard gently says, 'please don't sleep here.'
Taiwan, land that screams freedom and potential, you are a warrior. You bristle with pride and independence. You prick the ego of others with your deceptive simplicity. You are a maze, a puzzle and an enigma. You defiantly refuse to be categorized. It is a series of traits that others mock, and admire. Dream your silent dreams in screeching colour.
