My first new city in a good long while, hello Taipei!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/center><\/p>\n

Spent near a week wandering about with Sean and our friend Jesemy (a local? a foreigner? depends?). Thank you, visa-free entry for Filipinos! This could not have been possible without you. Or maybe it could have, but it’s nice to have one less layer of bureaucracy to deal with. We missed Nico and Maddie, who were meant to be on this trip with us.<\/p>\n

There isn’t really much i can say here that my photos won’t tell, but i’ll fill in the gaps as needed.<\/p>\n

\nA very local beef noodle joint that Jes took us to. I will have dreams about this soup for years.<\/small><\/p>\n

While wandering around the town of Jiufen, the rain caught up with us and we ended up seeking shelter at this kind man’s gallery. He’s a black and white photographer named Paco, who’s been shooting around Asia since the 70s. He told us he ended up living in Cebu at some point. He prints his own work at a darkroom in the back, and he has a pretty massive collection of original silver gelatin prints in varying sizes. We ended up taking some home.<\/small><\/p>\n

\nShout out to all my Meteor Garden brothers and sisters, we’ve got a tiny Barbie Xu sighting at the night market! Ask me about why i can’t stand the reboot, and the watering down of Shan Cai is at the center of it.<\/small><\/p>\n
