Taiwan: The Other China

I boarded this High Speed Rail car in Taichung on my return trip to Taipei last fall.

Found this interesting in-depth article in the October 2008 issue of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine. You can read it on their web site.
THE OTHER CHINA.. "Taiwan was once an affront to the mainland, a repository of everything Mao wanted to wipe out. Now, as bonds between the two are rebuilt, Dorinda Elliott finds an island confident, free-and rich in experiences both spiritual and hedonistic"..
