On one of the cozy Taipei streets we found a place that combines a fashion and passion - 2W Wine & Jewelry Art space. The place is a modern space for wine lovers, clean and quiet to let you enjoy your wine at its fullest. While spending time in a pleasant company, you can take a look and try on some of the finest jewels presented there. The luxurious jewelry is made with white gold, diamonds and gemstones. Claire tried on some of the items and could barely let go off them :). [CJ]
在這樣的完美天氣裡，莫過於也就是穿著舒服的外衣在這座城市裡輕盈走著享受那幸福的片刻

Hong kong is certainly the most occidental city of Asia. I was lucky to attend a theatre performance in French ! I was also impressed by the height of its buildings. It is so surreal. Visiting the city is always a pure happiness for me.
Macau was a great discovery. The Portuguese influence can be found everywhere! Especially in the city's archithecture. I totaly recommend to spend one or two days in Macau (easy and cheap access by boat from Honk-Kong) [CJ]

我Claire來說一下你們或許想知道關於我們在台灣這裡到底在做些什麼,而為何我們來到這裡做發展。 在2011年的時候,我參加一個台灣有名的電視節目錄影,相當感激有這樣的一個機會能夠擁有如此寶貴的經驗,在那節目中,它結合了台灣的民俗文化風情及現代的事物,種種的經驗始終讓我難以忘懷!! 我在來台灣之前,與我交往超過4年之久的台灣男朋友,當時在布魯塞爾住上好一段時間。我們一直都有規劃著後續發展,於是最後我們決定搬往台灣展開新的生活。來到這裡之後,我發現這裡充滿著濃厚商業氛圍,在這樣的氛圍之下,促使我有了創業的念頭,追隨這日新月異的步調去發展!! 當然,在其他方面也讓我相當欣賞台灣,在我還沒搬到這裡前我已有認識不少的台灣人,他們既善良又熱情的對待他人,到我定居在這裡亦是如此。但最讓我特別喜愛的還是台灣的大眾運輸及生活。像是我現在居住的台北,有著相當完善的捷運系統,還有許多店家跟咖啡店大多會營業到晚上10點,普遍也有不錯的服務品質,有這樣好的機能讓我現在的生活感到相當方便舒適!! 很快的我搬來台灣也將要一年了,待在這裡我有很好的環境去經營我接下來的發展,也更堅定了我的目標.
Some of you may wonder what we are doing in Taiwan and why we moved here. Here is Claire's explanation of her decision:
"I really appreciated my first experience in Taiwan in 2011, when I was invited to take part in a famous TV show here. I was impressed by the combination of culture and modernity. After living more than 4 years with my Taiwanese boyfriend in Brussels, we finally decided to start a new experience and move to Taiwan. We thought it was a good moment to try something new. Business atmosphere in Taiwan is developing very fast offering many possibilities to entrepreneurs.
Of course, I especially liked Taiwanese people - very kind and helpful. I got to know quite a lot of Taiwanese before I even moved here. However, the particular thing I really loved here is the infrustructure. Such things as MRT, numerous shops and cafes opened till 10 pm, good service in general, all this makes life so much more convenient and comfortable.
休假日，很適合優閒地待在家裡喝點紅酒，拍拍照~ 這幾張拍攝於Claire台北寓所的作品，由+10 photography studio 的 ”Anchang Lin“操刀(Routes magazine) 。 幾星期前，Claire領養了一隻狗狗，名叫布丁。原本流浪街頭的她， 好心的獸醫把牠帶回去照顧，並且幫牠尋找合適的主人。 於是， 幸運的布丁成為了Claire家的新成員， 牠可愛乖巧又懂事，帶給claire許多歡樂，是隻不可多得的好寵物~ 或許牠不想再流浪了吧~
所以大家若想養隻小動物作伴，請以認養代替購買!
每個生命都是很可貴的~ 如果大家想要領養或是提供認養的資訊 ，都歡迎和我們說喔 ^___^ 我們會成立認養專區提供大家交流及分享~ 讓愛傳出去吧 ![CJ]
A day off is a good opportunity to relax at home, drink some wine and, of course, take a few pictures. These beautiful pictures were taken at Claire's apartment in Taipei by Anchang Lin - a photographer from +10 photography studio that we have already introduced to you in the "Routes magazine" post. A couple of weeks ago Claire got herself a pet, a dog named Puding. She was rescued from the streets in a very bad condition, and taken care of by a vet, while looking for a nice family to adopt her. Luckily, the news of the dog came to Claire and she's got the best pet one could ever have :). Puding is a well behaved, playful and loving dog. If you decided to take a dog, please take one from the animals shelter. Don't buy! You can find all kinds of breeds and ages in there. Those poor animals will be your most loving and loyal companions.
Let us know if you have a dog and your thoughts about adopting/buying a pet. Post a picture of you and your dog in the comments, and we will make a special blogpost featuring you and your (dog)friend :). [CJ]
