It was just an ordinary, quiet day, My friend and I decided to take a walk around Tamsui. Instead of checking TikTok for places to visit or things to do, we chose to ride bicycles around the area, watching the sea, breathing in the fresh air.

As I write these lines, it’s been seven months since I moved to Taiwan. Time flies, doesn’t it? A Taiwanese friend of mine always responds whenever I exclaim: “時間過得很快！” “很快樂。” (A play on words, “快” meaning both “fast” and “happy.” We joke that time passes quickly, and it’s been a happy time.)
