something old, nothing new.

well i'm still in Taiwan. Taipei city to be exact. and for those of you that are a little woozy-ba-doozy about Taipei… it's basically the concrete jungle of Taiwan. here, a pair of comfortable shoes will be your best friend. i still however, prefer mine to be patent leather and a few inches above ground level. here, there's literally a bakery (or a 7-Eleven) on every block. which could be a dream or your worst nightmare.

but enough about Taipei (for now) more to come later… considering i will be residing here for a few more months. this month has been both terrifying and incredibly exciting for me. making the trip half way across the world (from sunny California), going on interviews (all in Chinese) and now diving into this industry that i've only dreamed about for years and years is not only beyond intimidating but also the best feeling of accomplishment ever.

oh, and not to mention…it's like designer heaven everyday.

dining at Taipei 101 is serious business.

first, you enter the building from a separate entrance. then, you are escorted by multiple security guards (which had me seriously wondering whether or not we were dining with the mr. president.)

one 86 floors elevator ride later, i was definitely feeling a wee bit ritzy! now cue the super exclusive room, 100 dollar lime-wedges, expensive china and sterling silver silverware (go figure.) it was dinner fit for royalty… or at the very least liza minnelli.

so apparently it was "grand opening day" so the staff were all going a wee bit crazy, which meant the experience was something short of ritzy... i guess we weren't dining with the mr. president (or liza minnelli) after all.

current location: Taipei, Taiwan.

days are spent: walking around the city in a leopard coat, being ridiculously silly with my sister, making use of the best metro system in the world (according to me), eavesdropping on conversations, eating cheap-best-you've-ever-had food, seeing family and old friends and making awkward eye contact with the locals.

nights are spent: dining at not so cheap restaurants with the parentals, taking taxi cabs (then "being stern" with drivers that purposely take the longest routes), browsing the night markets, hippy hippy shakin' on sick dance floors in 5 inch heels and then making the walk of no shame at the crack of dawn.
