WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT THE CITY THAT YOU LIVE IN?
Order. Such as the damp smell after the rain, the odor of the summer heat under the asphalt as well as  the scent mixed with the varieties of food. I’m really fond of all kinds of odors in Taipei, which fill me with inspiration and memories.
