Taiwan and Hong Kong
Hong Kong Skyline - The spaceship of international capitalism has landed! So i'm feeling a little sour about asia at the moment, cause i got ripped off by a fortune teller last night in Hong Kong at the very end of the famous temple street night market, full of plastic crap (wonderful, amazing plastic crap mind you), msg, smoke, noise and hectic rushing crowds. The wind was blowing her tent around her, and i thought why not? $70 later and the little i'd learned was basically summed up by the idea that i'll have good luck after the chinese new year in february. Great. As i was leaving, an aging prostitute balancing on stilts of high heels, deftly stepped across the prostrate beggar with one massive tumerous leg to try and capture my attention. Suddenly i do feel lucky after all... Actually Asia, or at least the few parts of it that i saw in this trip, have captured my imagination in a unique way. While not always inspiring, Kaohsiung was a smoggy, dirty, beery paradis
