Day 5 of 15 Days of Stills: Where to Find Taipei in Taiwan

<p>Taipei is so often shrouded by politics of impending doom that its soul is often forgotten. It grows ever more difficult to ignore China&rsquo;s geopolitical threats. Hong Kong&rsquo;s protests and silences were heard by the world, so Taiwan should be no exception. One would expect an anxiety-ridden country frozen in its tracks, preparing for war. But the heart of the city is not riddled with anxiety to fight &mdash; instead, it lies within the excitement to eat.</p> <p>Taiwanese parents ask not what you saw, but what you ate. Apologies are never vocalized by voice but by a silent bowl of fruit. Frugality never applies to what is on the plate but always to everything else. In my house, we celebrate birthdays with a gift and a decision for dinner. One&rsquo;s health and fortune are always a result of their food; to eat well is the marking of a good life.
