My Taipei Experience #1

If that is one word to describe us- the participants of this workshop, it would be “diverse”.

Even if we are small in numbers, but we represent the different part of the world, namely the Europe, South East Asia, Middle East Asia, South America, Africa and even countries that don’t belong to any continent- they just call themselves peoples from the Pacific.

However, we clicked almost immediately and I guess it was due to the fact that women all over the world share the common interest and that is SHOPPING!

On our second night here, the 7 of us got together and decided to explore Taipei city on our own. And God it was not easy at all because not many people here speak English. So just imagine a bunch of people, so frantic with our maps, terkial-kial with the Taiwan Dollars, braving the peak hour crowd to get into the MRT.

However, we managed to get to the Shilin Night Market with the help of a few good Samaritans who had been very helpful despite the language barrier.

Shilin Night Market - macam Petaling Street aje

We survived!
