    EDITOR'S INTRODUCTION Taipei, a City That Never Sleeps metropolis of international caliber, each year Taipei joins the great global celebration A of Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The joyful sounds and smells and sights of boisterous celebration fill the entire metropolis. As “Merry Christmas!” and “Happy New Year!” greetings resound, the distance between Taipei and the world noticeably shrinks. City nights sparkle with light, splendor, action, and vitality, greeting visitors from overseas with a warm Taiwan- style embrace, and inviting them to personally experience the wonderful, action-filled “City That Never Sleeps” (臺北夜未眠)! In this issue, we bring you to the city’s frontlines for fashion. We bring you “Taipei’s Manhattan” (臺北的曼哈頓), the Xinyi Commercial District, a grand bazaar home to upscale department stores, the massive exhibition halls of the Taipei World Trade Center, chic restaurants, sleek theaters, steamy nightspots, and many other examples of the international- caliber voguish vanguard. Here is a veritable pleasure vault of shopping and leisure- entertainment stimulation. Taipei 101 and the eslite Xinyi flagship bookstore, the largest bookstore in this country, are just two of the numerous iconic architectural sirens that draw you in with their magnetic allure. Within Taipei 101, you’ll find OTOP, a hall selling and displaying the finest of Taiwan’s regional handicraft and food items; here you will find the quintessential “flavors” of this land, a perfect place to pick up Taiwan mementoes and gift items. In this issue, we also prime you with details on the myriad Parade Carnival (遊行嘉年華) and New Year’s activities in December, both organized by the Taipei City Government.
