Travel

For one reason or another, Scandinavian countries always seemed like excellent places to visit and live in. It was many years before I actually visited any of them, but they are renowned for quality of life & quality of output, professionally and artistically. So naturally I was thoroughly excited when we received an invitation to a wedding held in Stockholm. Don’t get me wrong, two of my good friends getting married was most excellent news, but, as is common these days, we knew about their plans well in advance, so there was no surprise when the official invitation finally reached us in Singapore.

This post is a list of brief memories and surprises from my first visit to Taiwan. Heavy breakfast served on a plate wrapped in plastic bag. Plastic is cheaper and quicker than washing up? Take away soup packaged in a plastic bag in a paper bowl and put into another plastic bag with handles for carrying. Much plastic in use everywhere, wonder what they do with it all once its discarded.
