Everyone reads Shingo's blog, right? And Shingo reads everyone's blog, right? ^_^ That's the impression I have, when I browse your blogs. A while ago, Shingo contacted me and asked me, if I was open to meeting up during his trip to Taiwan. And of course I said yes! Who wouldn't want to meet the mysterious Shingo T and unravel the mystery behind his identity? Manju, do you remember, when we chatted on MSN few months ago and wondered, how Shingo might look like? How old is "uncle" Shingo really? Is he really so handsome? Well, I'm one of the few lucky humans, who had the chance to get all the answers of these questions answered in a single afternoon. I feel so honored :-)
If you read his blogger profile, he says:
"A very handsome chick magnet with irresistable charm. Also known to be thick skinned, self-obsessed and living in his own world."
You know, we've met in Taipei's trendy district Ximending and I can tell you, the girls really looked at him a lot. And there were at least 2 girls trailing him all the time. It was amazing. He does have charm, that's really true. I haven't hung out with him so much as to test the thickness of his skin and check, if he's so self-obsessed as he claims. All I can say is, Shingo is really really nice, he always smiles and it's very interested in many things. And he's very generous, he treated me twice, so I want to say thank you again here. Shingo, you are a very nice man. And I must add, that I also met Shingo's lovely wife, who's also extremely friend and his in-laws, who followed us to every spot and tried every food. They were very friendly and in-laws like them are a dream of every man. Shingo is truly lucky ^_^
Ok, for those who are so curious, I took a photo in Ximending and I give you 5 answers to choose. And my question is: Which one is Shingo T?
1 Is Shingo T a Nike fan, who carries the bag awesomely like that?
2 Is Shingo T a fast-paced casual traveler, who loves to wear red?
3 Is Shingo T a hunky muscular young man with a crew cut?
4 Is Shingo T a guy, who rolls up his pants' sleeves, but prefers his tees sleeveless?

4 Is Shingo T a guy, who rolls up his pants' sleeves, but prefers his tees sleeveless?
5 Is Shingo T none of the above and a totally different guy?
The right answer will be revealed in my next post. :-P And that one will be about the Taipei's awesome theme restaurant Modern Toilet. I will post some photos and write my review and you'll be able to read more about Shingo and the good time we had. So stay tuned for my next post. Here's a sneak peek of what follows...
We had delicious curry from a toilet bowl
Another thing I want to add: A special thanks to my lovely girlfriend, who helped me to guide Shingo around Taipei in that afternoon we spent together. She's really such a great guide and knows so many places. It reminded me of the first days when I came to Taipei, when she showed me around this awesome place. Thanks a lot again. You're great. :-)
So, is uncle Shingo, a lesser or a bigger mystery for you now?
