With all it's convenience, quirkiness, and college town laid backed-ness, Taipei has always been one of my favorite cities to live in Asia. People in China are always asking me what is it about Taipei, and it's hard to put into specifics. But here's an article that came out recently in Next Magazine that compares the various take out coffee options in town. This is something you might read in Portland, Oregon, but in Asia - with enough attention to garner a three page spread in a major publication? Here's one more reason I like Taipei.

USA Today recently came out with a good article on Chinese luxury gift giving. They were originally going to run the story around Christmas, but opted to run it before the Chinese New Year - which makes more sense as it's about Chinese gift giving. The article gives a good idea of business gifting and how important it is culturally. We're quoted a couple times as well. Happy Dragon Year!
