At Taipei, since couple of years ago, the icon of the city is the Taipei 101 (the tallest buliding in the world until late 2009). In the logo of this blog you can also see its silhouette. If you come to visit Taipei it is very likely that you will end up at Taipei 101 […]
My company works with a local bank, The Shanghai Commercial & Savings Bank I would say that it is a regular bank, except for their mascot: a pink pig (Pukii). In fact it is a complete family of pigs. Enjoy the images and videos below
To find a flat we used an agent (Co Co) from a local real state company that already worked with my company in the past. Following our guidance on location, size and price she showed 6 or 7 flats. In Taipei, as anywhere in the world, good location is expensive: We are close to Da-An […]
On January 2nd Anna and Albert went to IKEA at Taipei in a high priority visit (pots&pans, glasses, chopsticks, bedding and few other items). This IKEA in Taipei is easy to reach via MRT, but we went back by taxi as we were quite loaded with stuff. In Taiwan, probably IKEA is not the cheapest […]

Yes, yes!! Me too, I’m going to Taipei!! Tough I hadn’t written in this blog yet, I’m also leaving to unknown lands, to keep Albert company and to discover a little bit more of the world :) Let’s see what is going on with this trip, or adventure! In fact, I don’t think we are […]
Just be clear, Taiwan is not a catholic country/nation/region, therefore Christmas is not being officially celebrated but it is obvious that Xmas effects are felt here too: the workload is reduced (as Taiwan has many links with United States and Europe for business), people get mad to buy stuff that is not needed and e-mails […]
During my first weekend in Taipei, on Sunday evening I went to the area of Ximending. This is a shopping area specially focused on the Japanese culture, the youth and various cultural activities.
