Taipei, the final stop on my month-long Asian journey, felt like a mix of the familiar and the unknown. The city’s vibrant vegan food scene, influenced by Buddhism, was a surprise, though some night market vendors offered more adventurous options like snake blood and turtle sperm—things I wisely avoided.
For just $5, I found a doctor, and for another $15, I embraced the ancient art of Chinese medicine and acupuncture. Taipei really knows how to heal you.
What amazed me the most was that everywhere we went, people were so kind and open, offering suggestions for places to see and things to try—everything from local fashion brands to listening bars.
Thank you so much Final and amazing curator Xin for bringing me back!
Final, one of the most sophisticated venues I’ve ever played. I am still in awe of its design. With two rooms—one intimate with a bar, seating and the other a pure sound temple—its acoustics allowed me to experiment freely. The sleek, artistic space, blending metal, concrete, and glass, created a unique, inviting atmosphere. It not just a club; it is a sanctuary for music.
