Stinky Tofu in Taiwan
Calvin and I spent 3 months in Taipei, Taiwan and it was there that we perfected our chopstick skills and our eyes were opened to different ways of life. For example, there is no such thing as an organized line when you go to order your food. Everyone is just shouting what they want; first to be heard, first to be served. Although Taipei is so densely populated, it has the cleanest most organized metro system I have ever seen. You are forbidden to chew gum or even drink water on the metro, which explains why it is so clean! I had someone stop me from drinking water because they didn't want me to be fined. It's interesting in Taiwan, sometimes you see people wearing masks (this was before Covid-19) and many people will carry umbrellas to protect themselves not from the rain, but from the sun. Taiwanese are very protective of their skin, which is probably their secret to looking young forever. It's also common to see people doing tai chi outside in the parks, specifically the elderly. Something that you cannot miss in Taiwan is the stinky tofu. It smells like stinky feet, I kid you not. Even the Taiwanese themselves cover their noses as they walk by the street vendors. Of course, we had to try it and I'm happy to report that the smell is worse than the taste. I mean, it's not something I would be craving, but it wasn't terrible. So, if you get the opportunity, go for it..just to be able to say that you tried the infamous stinky tofu. It's a shame, you can't capture the smell in a photo.
