Taipei couple, Ximending

I spent one of my last days in Taiwan wandering around Ximending. The sky was overcast and a light rain fell in spurts.

The last time I was in Ximending, I was lost. I had taken the bus, but was unused to the crush of people and was quickly turned around. A cousin had first brought me there to get some chops cut. Eventually, I found the correct stand and collected my chops. I remember shopping for CDs at an HMV that overlooked the street.

Returning some 13 years later, I found the area less confusing, and much cleaner, though for some reason I couldn't locate the HMV (not that I searched that long). The rain began to fall more steadily and I grew tired from touring the city. I went home after a quick tour of the environs.

In other news, I've launched a redesigned photography portfolio site: Fotokuo.
