#Taiwantopten 017- Growth

Crews hard at work every day, weekends incl, building Taiwan's new cityscape. We also see growth in the number of bicycle lanes, trees planted, metro stations, and countless other examples.

Taiwan doesn't sit. Taiwan is strives.

This isn't my #Taiwantopten, but it surely is for someone. Semi private, yet very public ktv

#TaiwanTopTen 013: The "Good Enough" Community Pool.

For 100NT, you get a swim, a sauna, and a local lesson in pragmatism. It's not fancy, but it’s for everyone from kids to aunties. A perfect example of 'good enough' being truly wonderful.

#TaiwanTopTen 015- The "Everything Store"

Forget giant chains, the real magic happens at the local 生活百貨. Get your slippers, a new wok, and various soaps all at once.

It might seem chaotic, but you'll find exactly what you didn't need.

#TaiwanTopTen 014: The Art of Point-and-Pile

a weekly ritual: 自助餐 Grab a plate and pick from a wall of incredible food. There are lot of rules, and lots of exceptions. We won't know how the auntie calculates the price—weight? intuition? a secret art?

Must love #dogs.

This good girl works at a local plumbing supply store on #kaohsiung. On a visit back, we prioritized what's important - Duoduo.

#TaiwanTopTen 013: 10NT Gamble

夾娃娃機 is everywhere: 20 in a row, tucked into the ground floor of an old building.

For 10nt, you might win snacks, gadgets, or a giant plush egg. It’s low-stakes magic.

Losing $20 on a scratch ticket is what I know back home.

#TaiwanTopTen 012- World class metro and ... Cats

Voted best metro, #taipei infuses personality with daily travel in a quirky way. We found these cat portraits lining the wall of this popular metro stop.

Another example of #taiwan doing it right, in style

#TaiwanTopTen 011- The Convenience Store

Whatever dreams you have, pay bills, ship/receive packages, buy concert or train tickets, you can make them come true at 7/11, Family Mart, or even OK Mart (it's ok).

This one next to the pier in #Kaohsiung is #retro!
