2005 台灣之旅 (1/26 - 1/29)
The original planning to Taiwan was to take a holiday and relax myself, finally, I felt even tired before I go.
This is my third time to visit Taiwan, the first was in 1998, while the second one was in 2002. Taiwan has undergone a lot of changes in these few years: the development of Metro system, the makeover of airport and infrastiructure etc. All of these give facility for tourists, while on the hand, reduce the attractiveness for me to travel Taipei again. Bookshop and Coffee Shop in Taipei are certainly the "must-visit" spot to me: 24 hour Eslite Bookstore, Bookstore's street located in ChongQing South Road, Various style of cofee shops and 24 hour " E Shu Man". I really hope that I could spend more time in discovering more coffee shop next time.
