If you think Asia is all about rikschas, coconut, kimonos, Thaifood, Sushi, smiling shy Asian girls and so on, think twice. Go to Taiwan. This was definitely one of the most modern cities in Asia we have visited. This island is rich, people are doing well there and business is going great there too. We headed straight ahead to the 101 tower in Taipei, the highest tower in the world. We climbed up to the top in the fastest elevator in the world. That's what they say at least. It's also one of the most prestigious malls in the world. And we had a great lunch at Wasabi, an all you can eat restaurant similar to Todai's. Malls everywhere. One of the most efficient train and subway systems I have ever seen. No wonder the Taiwanese are not that interested in getting integrated into big China!
