TAIPEI (taiwan) TRIP

I was away last wk exploring streets of taipei, having fun eating street food and experiencing taiwan culture...

It was definitely an awesome exposure and experience... from the street culture to the taiwanese street food

to the people i talked to...

BOYS and GIRLS†there were REALLY friendly and guided me thru†streets to their local†STREETWEAR stores..

they were also very supportive about their own local designer BRANDS... thats something singaporeans needed to

learn from THEM. Also took this chance to visit SINGAPORE friends who†are working in TAIWAN... and fortunately

i was able to experience the clubbing scene of taipei, ALL thanks to my singapore friends...

anyway, let the pics do the talking...

OFF TO TAIPEI... with STREETHING tee and pigeons!
