because of the specific type of wind that passes me by when biking, and the views I get to see in perfect speed (plus the ability to stop whenever), all from the impeccably-maintained public biking system Taipei implements. I feel so lucky to live here.

Apart from the obvious (easy way to get more exercise and time outside, cheap, good for the environment), something I really value is the different view of your city that it gives you.
You arenāt bound to avoiding traffic, and itās usually safer to go avoid main roads, so you end up on some lovely backstreets that you never would have otherwise seen. You also get routed through parks and along the water. Because itās so easy to pull over and park anywhere, you stop to enjoy things more often too.
I find I interact with and feel way more connected to my city as a cyclist. Iāve found so many cool spots from having biked by them.

On a nice day, wind in your hair and leaves falling. What a wonderful feeling!

I spend all day in the office, and since i live in the same building as my office i spend all day inside. I love being in there because I can literally control who i see and who i donāt, but occasionally i get cabin fever and need to go outside. I usually take my bike out. A bicycle is the life hack of NYC. If you donāt have one get a citi bike. ride around the city, put on some headphones. Most relaxing way to get some air and see the city. Late afternoons are the best.

Not on purpose.. but donāt sweat it when it happens by accident.. itāll dry quickly enough, then the paper will harden into a crispily wrinkled texture that is so nice to flip through. ok if you must do it on purpose.. drink from an iced beverage on top of your notebook and dew from the surface of the glass will drop down nicely.

I love to watch Phantom Thread when Iām sick. The music and imagery are beautiful and not abrasive, everyone speaks softly with precision, most of all watching Daniel Day-Lewis suffer from illness alongside me is very comforting.

In elementary school my best friend and I made up a religion where the deity is a tree in the school yard. Weād go to the tree and pray for good grades and bad luck to the girl we did not like. At the end of each prayer, weād say āsasasasaā as an amen, an onomatopoeia of sand flying from a gust of wind.
