Maybe it was just chance that I stumbled across a really decent one, but after my Singapore trip, I’m convinced now that hostels are the way to go especially if you’re traveling alone. By far the best reason is the opportunity to meet people from all over the world, convening at one point at one [...]

Completely on a whim, I decided to make a last-minute trip to Singapore not too long ago- in my nearly two years in Taiwan I have not so much as stepped foot in another country (going home doesn’t count) so it was high time for me to go out and explore. Part of the reason [...]

I was on the MRT on my way to Taipei City Hall, to pick up a pair of pants from Uniqlo. Somewhere along the way my mind blanked out, and [...]
The Song(s)

I chose a song by Mayday (sorry, Chinese songs only so Katy Perry was out of the question). Actually it’s two songs- same melody but one is in Mandarin and the other in Taiwanese. Going into the contest, I rightly figured that looking like a regular Taiwanese person would only work against me. Therefore, I had [...]
