How wonderful is Taiwan?

Taiwan Living in Taiwan

[quote=“waegookin”]As I am in Korea at the moment and adoring Taiwan from afar, I can only assume Taiwan is a magical wonderland where man and beast live in harmony. Cats and dogs cuddle in the sun and every day is spent skipping through fields of beautiful daisies as the rainbows magically appear overhead, even though it hasn’t rained - in Taiwan, the butterflies shit the rainbows out, and their rainbowshit cures AIDS. It wouldn’t ever rain, because Taiwan is magic. Like fuckin’ Hogwarts. Christians, Muslims, Jews, Buddhists - all come to live in harmony on the one island where hatred is non-existent and butterflies shit AIDS-curing rainbows. .

If Taiwan doesn’t live up to my expectations, I will be severely disappointed.[/quote]

I am presently in Taiwan by the way.

And AIDS is a fraud. Check out House of Numbers.

When I saw the photos and the captions, I knew immediately that it must be your post, Muzha Man… even without looking at the author’s name… :discodance:

It’s a pretty good place to live.

Marks out of ten I’d probably give the country eight and I’d definitely give the women one.

Amazing pictures. I spent 7 glorious years calling the isle paradise my 2nd home. I’ve been stateside for just over 2 months, and as I slowly readapt to life back home, I long for Formosa more often than not.

I’ll be back in a few years to settle down for keeps, or make the USA home again, whilst visiting the 'Wan as often as possible. For now, I’ll live vicariously through all of my friends who are still on the rock, and appreciate moments and memories – thanks for those pictures, Mucha Man, which gave me quite a few minutes of pause and warmth, as I think back …

Every day’s a holiday, and every meal’s a banquet, except for those tiny bits that go in the entries entitled “Good Training.”

24

25

How wondeful is Taiwan? Pretty wondeful. Lots of WTF moments tho, but on the whole…

26

I’m still trying to figure out what “wondeful” is…

27

It’s the same as “Wunnerful.”

Lawrence Welk told me Taiwan was pretty good pretty good.

My wife just left for Hawaii. She was so sad. :frowning:
