I've been dreaming of studying in Taipei since junior high school. Taipei, the booming city, full of fancy restaurants, fabulous shopping malls and convenient transportation.
Now,studying in Soochow University finally fulfilled my dream. I was actually born in Taipei, but i feel so much like an outsider when walking along DongQu. I see pretty girls in fashion outfits, beautiful makeup, i admire them. I admire their stunning faces, gorgeous hair, nice body shape. But somehow, the swift and indifferent arrogance of their look scared me. Is it because of their Eye-liner? No! i don't think so! Is it because of the bad mood they're in?Maybe! But how come everyone feels unhappy in this fancy city? I wonder why, or maybe i'll become one of them when i get used to dwell in Taipei?
Lots of foreigners have good comments on Taiwan, they say we are passionate people, willing to help, friendly to others. But i just feel like i saw the snobbish side of people.
When u go shopping, u will feel the different attitude that the clerk is acting toward you. If you are in a Gucci Bag, the oily shop assistant will smile at you as if you were her besties, and recommend you the clothes with her sweetest voice. But! If u only wear a T-shirt and a backpack, no one will look at u, even if you got a no limit credit card in your jeans. Why? it's because they can't see it. People nowadays are used to judge people from their appearance. That's why young people are dressing in Brands they can't actually afford easily, they put on a disguise to make people change the feeling of them, even throw away their smiles.
I'm also a teenager, i feel it, i'm kind of being changed by this city, i sometimes feel my passion fade away, the smile went away with it. I don't want to be a fashion zombie in this bustling city......
