Excellent. Did you do much post-processing on it?

  Thanks Tobie. I didn\\'t do too much with it. I added a bit of contrast by making the figures a bit darker and the electronics more vibrant. That sky is all Taiwan.

I love this place in Taipei great for people watching and hot spot for shopping. My only regret, I wasn't able to explore the whole Ximending area.

  Thanks, Kim. Ximending is one of the best hang-outs in Taipei – in my opinion at least!

That’s impressive. I like those colured and illuminated advertisement. It’s a usual thing in big cities but not yet in my country. I mean not in such quantity.

  Thanks K. People often compare this district to Shibuya in Japan. Check it out. If you’ve seen Tokyo Drift, you’ll know what I mean.

It took me a lot of time to understand what you were talking about. I only watched the first picture from the article about Shibuya. I couldn’t understand why did you mention of Tokyo drift. When I saw the second picture I couldn’t stop laughing. ) It’s incredible…

  K,
  Now imagine John and our friend, Chris, driving through Shibuya at midnight. John said it was wild. Wish the boys had thought to include me!
