Be myself, no matter what they say!
I ordered a piece of delicious German traditional Black Forest Cake (with a cherry in wine on top,德式黑森林蛋糕) and two cups of hot black brewed coffee (Columbian Arabia coffee beans,哥倫比亞熱黑咖啡) for my afternoon after my nostalgic conversation with my Japanese professor Nakata (なかた) about my beloved poor tender dead grandmother who told me that "Japanese people are good" by showing him 3 old Japanese colored magazines for first-year elementary school students printed in 1957 by 講談社 of my hyper machist dead grandfather's collection.

Read moreThis iconic Starbucks cafe at Ximending needs no introduction. Yet, I’ve never had a chance to step into Starbucks during my past trips to XMD cos I was distracted by the yummy Taiwanese local delights. 😁
