My day 1 in Taipei (2025)

hello dear, how are you? I miss you a lot 🤍

After a very busy hectic day yesterday to try to get my work done in time and pack and finish all the household chores, I am finally here in Taipei.

I got up at 6:30am for my flight, and I was super late. I arrived at the CX lounge 5 minutes before boarding time but they still let me in, haha. I had a breakfast real quick, and here is me in the toilet, first selfie of the trip with my luggage:

My goal for this trip is that before my parents come back to HK next week, I can take a break and have some quality alone time to recharge and reflect. I say “quality” because although I could also do that in HK and in my own room, I feel I am still always so burdened by our household responsibilities. And because my brother’s gf often stays overnight at our home these days, I sometimes feel that my personal space got “invaded”. So I really hope that this few days in Taipei will be a time for me to have some own space.

That’s why I am only meeting my friend tomorrow and Saturday, and I am alone today and on Sunday. Some highlights of today:

I sat here at a braised pork rice place on the street to do some people watching! I really enjoyed it for some reason, haha. I think this is one of the best way for introverts to recharge in outdoors:

I did a bit of shopping today, here is me trying out some outfits :) I enjoy shopping alone because I can see things at my own pace. How do you think about my outfits? 😊

I am quite tired today because of all the travelling and I woke up early. I hope I will have more time and energy to reflect and share here in the next few nights.

Miss you, my dear Andy. Good night and here is the last photo of me on my hotel bed:
