Taipei and Taipei film festival, sausages, fruit, architecture
After an exciting tussle of football; Ronaldo and Figo are two guys girls drool over. Sophia has been keeping track. She was mighty upset (we were all asleep) when Argentina lost to Germany and Martina (tennis) lost on the same night. You might have heard her scream that night wherever in the world you may have been.
Sausages here are great. You get a variety. There are stalls selling sausages of different flavours eg chocolate, wasabi or with rice inside. And exotic fruits are plentiful. Every day, it gets so hot, you have to have yourself fresh real fruit crushed into mush – yum.
The transport infrastructure here is much more developed than China but not yet surpassing HK. In terms of tourism, if China scares you in terms of being tourist non-friendly (remoter areas); Taiwan would be a good start because in terms of architecture and scenery; areas in Taiwan offer a touch of raw China and a more than a touch of HK in more developed parts.
Sophia and I found the cinema showing films at the Taipei Film Festival in Ximen so when she flies back to HK tomorrow, I might catch a couple of films. Having met people here involved in many films; I’ve been given a list of must-watch-when-I-get-a-chance films. Sophia tells me I should push it more and try to get representation here in Asia. It made me think.
So France beat Brazil; we can’t believe it here but I’m glad.

We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they’re called memories. Some take us forward, they’re called dreams.
