TALK about the world’s biggest “marriage proposal.”
As you can see from the photo, someone posted the message: “Marry Me? Diana” on the world’s tallest building, Taipei 101. (This article from UK-based The Inquirer claims it’s a fake proposal to drum up business–Ed.)
Taipei 101 is one of Taiwan’s tourist attractions. While Taiwan does not really market itself as a major tourist destination, it attracts a lot of visitors as one of the world’s major electronics manufacturing hub. Usually, foreign investors come to Taipei to discuss business with their Taiwanese counterparts and afterwards leave. However, the few foreigners who do have time to kill find that the country is not just ready for business, but is also a source of pleasure littered with pockets of attractions. The capital, Taipei, itself is big enough to give a sense of wonder to the lucky visitors.
