cuts through your brain like a knife...

that's the only way i can think to describe what the food scenario smells like here in Taiwan at the 7-11's. It's so odd and pungent and specific and painful and spicy and bitter and terrible...and everywhere.

I can only imagine that it is the equivalent of what a taquito and johnsonville brat smell like to a taiwanese person....every morning I tell myself, "matt, just don't inhale when you walk into or past the store....." but I can't not do it.....
