Landed in Taipei
Log
5AM
- Land from 12h flight. Feeling insane
- Get a bunch of CASH \(\)
- Overcome anxiety of ordering food at a stall in the airport. Somehow whether or not they accept credit cards is scary to me. Everything is scary at first. Also I barely slept.
9:00AM
- Decide to transit instead of Ubering for the views. Figured out MRT system along the way. Very cute transit cards here.
10:00AM
- Check in to Airbnb
- Unpack, hang clothes up.
1:30PM
- First 7-11 trip. It’s so fucking sick hell yeah. Had to buy a towel cause the Airbnb didn’t have any. What’s up with that…
- Stroll around. The heat is oppressive. Need sunscreen.
- Overcome fear/embarrassment of wearing Meta Raybans everywhere. Start recording almost every second of my time here.
4:30PM
- Pass out
Thoughts
- I’m writing this one retroactively and am not able to capture how confused I felt navigating the city at first.
- I’m actively avoiding speaking English and choosing to translate text using my phone first even if I could just choose to say it in English.
- The city is really, really cute. People are dressed very casually.
- The MRT is very quiet.
