Right now it's a bit gloomy and dreary in NYC. According to my weather bug, it's "77 feels like 87" with 78% humidity. Days like these make me think of Taiwan--Taipei specifically. Funny how NYC can remind me more of a city outside of the country than another city inside the U.S. I suppose it's the weather. It's a metropolis. People everywhere. Sounds of traffic and horns. Smells of both food and garbage. Mugginess. Dreariness. (Actually in Taipei, there would be more people, more traffic, more smells, and more humidity. NYC is a desert ghost town in comparison!)
It's not as sad as I make it sound. Well, the lack of sun is a bit sad right now. But the humidity is otherwise not. I have positive associations with Taiwan, after all. I've technically only been to Taiwan six times in my life...the first time I was too young to remember and the last time was over seven years ago. I'm long overdue for another trip.
