Airport Under Construction

It was a pity that when we reached the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, it was under construction. Mostly what we see were dimmed yellowish fluorescent lights and white dashboards.

Once we came out from the gate, all you see are paper signs pasted on construction boards to direct you to the check out station. Its a very different feel. You don't get to overwhelm yourself with the sense that you're foreign land. But once you get out of the airport and you see the outdoors, the first word I can think of Taiwan is "History".

You really get a big shout out at you that Taiwan is many many years older than Singapore and now Singapore just seems like a little baby. Taiwan being the Grandpa. The airport is located out of town so during our journey to our hotel, all we see were untidy fields with tall weeds trying to grow out of boundaries, houses far apart from one another that looks like the kind you can imagine when your parents share kampong stories to you. Well, besides the fact that they're not built from straws but bricks and cement.
