The purpose of my vacation is generally to recharge my batteries through feeding my hunger for new knowledge and food. 821 Space certainly served up a unique blend of offerings that hits a sweet spot!
More than just a space for lodging, the property owner's passion for art, history and food shines as evidenced by the art gallery feel of the property. The theme when i visited was "Taste", and the property was adorn of thought-provoking imagery of everyday items relating to taste, albeit from rather unusual angles.
I was also linked up with a partner of the property who brought us around Tainan's historical sights, but more than that, had the ability to narrate the history in great detail and relate to the deeper Chinese psyche and strategic thinking of the time.
Lastly, when in Tainan, do as the Tainanese do - eat local! The folks at 821 are serious and proud of their local fare and guided me to a couple of the local places that are worth a visit. My batteries were recharged for sure!
