Eat, Sleep, Dream

It seems that friends who go travelling or go home to spend the vacations come back with an extra luggage. I did that for a couple years, I valued every second I spend on Taipei streets, hoping to buy an extra cool shirt or another trendy jacket, converse, hats, bags, whatever was in.

Now my attitude is: SCREW THAT, I'M HERE TO RELAX.

Yes, that's the new Sherry-styled vacation.

I've decided, I'm just going to use the last two days buying things that I really need, and that'll be cheap enough for me shrinking account (then again, I'll just get some cash from my parents). This time, I'll need some new shirts, an umbrella strong enough for hurricanes, and maybe some new socks and stockings. Okay, I'll leave that for online shopping next week.

Although I don't quite agree with Julia Roberts's EAT PRAY LOVE way of travelling. My version is more like:

EAT

DRINK

BURP

or

EAT

DRINK

BURP

SLEEP

That's my ideal vacation indeed, but that can't happen while my parents are around. Meanwhile, I'm very keen about

Eat

(re)Discover

(re)Think

Sounds like the typical slogan for some shopping mall, but I'm serious.

Although I am from Taiwan, I have, after all, spent 13 years outside of this place.

So I guess I'm a tourist here, you can tell from the photos I take.

There are lots to do around here I discovered, other than shopping

~ riding on the train

~ bumping into ancient backstreets

~ buying chestnuts

~ looking at those red white striped plastic bags

~ revisiting memorable spaces

~ feeling extremely cultured and educated simply by sitting in cafes behind NTU

~ Taiwan Beer

I think I'm easily satisfied.
