Hong Kong, We Got Good News for You
I blinked a few times as we drove from the airport to downtown. Everything looked blurry to me - must be the jetlag. No, I realized, everything really is shaded brown or grey - the buildings, the roads, the sky, the smog on the horizon. Taipei's buildings are Hong Kong-ugly without any of the surrounding natural beauty.
It's old, older and decrepit. The Taipei tower shimmers above it all - 101 stories worth of empty Chinese fast food containers, stacked one inside the other. She's not the prettiest city but there may be something about her to love, something hidden. I plan to find out.
