BAM! Buddhist temples…local brews…ancient writing systems…and DREAMS. . .they are all here to be explored and admired and appreciated in the great town of Taipei. . .mmm, aaaaahh!
Taipei is the capital of the island nation of Taiwan. . .though the mainland Chinese government prefers that we not use the name ‘Taiwan’ any longer. The official name of this island is now “Chinese Taipei.” “Taiwan” connotes a desire for separateness and independence, and “Chinese Taipei” connotes oneness and togetherness and interdependence and flat out ownership. Ah well…so it goes…the ongoing bickering over who owns what…the ongoing human debates…the ongoing desire to bring order to chaos. . .silly human race.
There is always news of turmoil in the paper we read here every morning…turmoil underlying the order and harmony we see around us…just under the surface of each and every smile…hmmm. It is tons of fun to attempt to discern what lies behind every smile. . .we will never know, so we simply smile back and say, “xie-xie.”
I send you ever-daydreaming vibes from the streets of Taipei. . .feel them. . .they are spellbinding.
