the entry r.o.c-ks!

they say three time's the charm and look-it where it has landed me? welcome to taiwan! it can't get any better than this, i promise you. enjoy a visceral attack on the senses when you step onto the streets of ximen. throngs of youths or youth-wannabes like yours truly encircle their comrades who perform their dance repertoire in a showdown to eliminate their competition. by the end of the day, i was jiggling my bag-of-ol' bones to their funky pop music. rock on!

some teens rehearsing their moves before the face-off.

woman with package: "let's see, it says here that it contains melamine. hmm.. melamine, melamine? where did i read that from before? oh, what the heck, i'm getting it."

if you've heard of pharrell william's billionaire boy's club, then you'd get the picture. no pun intended.

a mini-birthday celebration with some taiwanese friends to mark the dearth of my twenties. bittersweet. 

pink-dom was the theme apparently, so expect nothing short of camp from my taiwanese cronies.
