  • Korea: Seoul

    October 15, 2022 in Singapore ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    My second time to Korea provides me with a lot of flashbacks: The continuous choice of bbq places, the warmth and welcome of my friends here, pickled vegetables everywhere, spotting a kpop idol being run over by his fans and the distinct clothing style of the Koreans (Black leather jackets, leather boots and skirts).

    It is the more modestly priced, pop-culture sprawling and just as safe as well as modern small brother of Japan and definetely worth a visit.

  • Taiwan: Taipei

    November 17, 2022 in Taiwan ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    Since proper long term sejourn in China was originally intended, but not feasible, a short term Mandarin refresher in Taiwan is well within reach. So we head to Osaka airport and make our way down to this island full of history.

    Sir horsealot’s notable facts about Taiwan🔬🧫🐴:

    - Ruled by the Japanese, briefly by Holland and China (1949 being the important year where Chiang Kai-shek, ousted by Mao Zedong, came to Taiwan), Taiwan has many faces. Not only the Omnipresent Japanese eateries or the bathroom slipper.
    - The national dish stinky Tofu actually does not stink when eating it, clearly differentiating it from the likes of blue cheese and similiar.
    - The highest mountain at 3952m is only 50 km from the sea, where people surf.
    - Taiwanese love outdoor hiking, camping and sports. Much like we do in Switzerland.
    - Taiwan has the highest rate of shortsightedness in the world, almost everyone wears specs or contact lenses
    - the biggest coal fire plant in Taichung produces more CO2 than all of Switzerland. Yes - I was there and you cannot see the sun.
    - The garbage trucks play für Elise
