On the way home to Taipei, I decided to upgrade myself to Business class for the hour ride on the HSR, which turned out to be a good move! I was toting a rather large painting so my reserved seat in Car 6 allowed me room to put the painting down and stretch out in the next seat. Plus, I got food service like in the airlines – only better: some interesting nut mix, a “Citrus Cake”, and my choice of drink. So civilized!
