Taipei was interesting. It tries to be Tokyo but it's very much anchored to its Chinese heritage. The food was simply amazing. The people were friendly and the city/country is very easy to navigate. It shouldn't be long before the report is fully up - I am on my way back home now.
JAL First Class was great by the way. If it's not 5 stars, it's very close to. I got the best sleep in the sky so far.
