winters in taipei are very cold during the evening and very windy during the daytime. i usually look forward to the lunar new year's day and the winter vacation when i can go to the village where the climate is warmer during these holidays. also, i look forward to seeing my grandmother, great-grandmother, and my friends in the village; i like my grandmother's food very much. winter is the time everyone is in a festive mood. in the city, i usually do a lot of reading at home in the winter because of the cold weather outside.
