Touchdown in Taipei

Posted on May 9, 2006 Under Travel

After the 14 hour long haul from LAX, I’ve arrived in Taiwan safe. I’m actually reasonably refreshed thanks to the lovely crew on Malaysia Airlines (more about their in-flight services soon). First impression of Taipei? I’m a total gringo here–even the soda machines fascinate me. The airport here is incredibly efficient, friendly, yet quite utilitarian without being too sterile. I’ll be uploading photos from around town soon– shops don’t even open until 10:00 or 11:00am and it’s barely 8:00 as I write this post! Thanks for all the encouraging and supportive feedback on the redesign. More from Taipei soon!
