Today is my fourth day in Taiwan. We’ve arrived Sunday early morning, so we had the whole weekend for sightseeing.
At the first glance capital of Taiwan - Taipei was supposed to be dirty and grizzly. To be honest - most of the streets far away from the city center are sad, but definitely not dirty! Taiwanese people take care of the place they live and they’re not leaving any rubbish on the streets. It’s very positive, in my opinion, there are too little free-standing trash bins.
The closer to the center of Taipei, the more green it is. And I’m not talking about parks (they don’t have a lot of squares here), I’m actually talking about green loggias, small trees and pots full of plants standing along the streets! These are small elements, but they’re making the whole area really charming and perfect in its simplicity.
