TEXT1

Asha Gill can get quite vocal when it concerns subjects close to her heart but put atravel itinerary in front of her, and a sort of inward calmness (1)(take) hold of her."I was told to be a traveller, not a tourist," she said of her travelling experience, "butyou can't judge how certain people choose to travel, as long as you(2) (experience) the world." She also(3) (love) to chat forever on all the places she's been to ashost of Six Degrees, and she's been to a lot.

Still,

the beauty (4) (have) a few favourites, amongthem (5) (be) Taipei."Taipei is like a manga city. There's something very post-war and post-industrialabout it, with its low buildings and greyness, it (6) (look) likeit's been flattened by a nuclear bomb then rebuilt. "But it gets its colour from its people

though.

Taiwanese (7) (be) mad! They're like Italians, butlouder! And there's something very Malaysian about it. Being someone infatuated by

food,

you could go out on the street at any time of the night and get something to eat, it (8)(be) great!" While there, Asha found herself in the starringrole of a real life Taiwanese horror

film.

"We stayed in a hotel in Taiwan, and it's an amazing hotel, but only tourists staythere, no Taiwanese stay there, and we soon (9) (find out)why.""While we (10) (stay) there, we kept hearing loudnoises coming from the room upstairs, and I (11) (not, like)complaining, but the noise was getting too much, so I called the receptionist to ask her to tellthe people upstairs to tone it down a bit."She told me there (12) (be) no one staying in theroom upstairs for the duration that we'd been at the hotel. When I told our host in Taiwan,

Sean,

this, he told me that the grounds on which the hotel was built on used to be acommunist killing ground." Not believing him, Asha (13)(go) down to check out the 'artwork' on the hotel's doorways and arches, only to discoverthat they (14) (not, be) artwork at all. They were in fact,religious phrases aimed at cleansing the spirits from the hotel."Then I understood why when Taiwanese people asked me where I(15) (stay), and I told them and they'd laugh out loud and tell me'be careful'!" she laughed.Extracted from Malay Mail(15 marks)
