Day 15 - Some[place] You Miss the Most


I can't pick a specific person that I miss the most exactly. So instead, I'm doing the place I miss the most! xP


*****

Dear Taiwan,

I miss you like crazy. Even if you have daily 104 degree temperature. And lots of humidity. I miss your street vendors with yummy food like stinky tofu and zhu xue gao. I miss being able to walk a block and have tons of food to choose from, like sushi, yummy noodles, shaved ice, and boba! ♥ I miss the little road-side stores with adorable little gadgets and cute little animals printed on the sides of pencils, bags, etc. I miss 10 NTD stores with tons of random cheap-as-hell crap. I miss cute little shops with little music boxes, stuffed animals, stationery, hats, earrings, stickers, and pretty much any little thingymabbober you'd want.

I miss my relatives there. I miss my aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins... I miss Miki. I miss my friend, Wayne, who you stole. Psh. What a thief. xP

I miss your night markets with cheap clothes and cheap jewelry and cheap FOOD and basically cheap everything. xD I miss the random little games you could find there. I miss haggling with the sellers, trying to half the price of basically everything. I miss the mad, yet organized, rush of the unlicensed stall vendors when the police come by. 'Course, I feel like that's more for show now than anything, but hey. =P

I miss Breeze, and the huge departments stores with like EVERYTHING in them. Not that I usually buy anything, since it's pretty expensive, but it's awesome just browsing. I miss their HUGE food courts that are like heaven on earth. Seriously, the choices there are AMAZING.

I miss Taipei 101 and that one time I went up with Wayne and saw all of Taipei at night, with the pretty glittering lights and everything.


I miss the awesome waterparks and 10 story water slides. I miss swimming with dolphins. I miss the huge indoor swimming pools.

I miss eating shaved ice with mango, strawberry, kiwi, and pretty much anything you want on top. I miss eating tou hua, dan ta, and mian xian, and drinking bubble tea from the local vendors. I miss just strolling down the street carrying an umbrella for shade.

I miss you and all your awesome-ness.
