Taipei Mode 

A mode you can find yourself in before age 30 when you are drifting around with a girlfriend or boyfriend and she or he is your primary companion every waking hour of the day. Usually a fun and enjoyable mode; can be destructive if in this mode for too long for no great reason. Most couples enter it when traveling by bus, train, plane together, staying in hotels together, visiting family together, road tripping together (this can overlap with “On the Road Mode”). Usually when you’re doing “autofiction” type activities with a companion, characterized by sharing the experience in a mostly positive manner. Doing drugs not necessary to enter this mode. Usually noticed after reading “Taipei” by Tao Lin.
Kinda went Taipei Mode with my gf last summer. We flew to Ireland and stayed in a hotel. Then we flew back but red-eyed from New York to Florida right away. Her family’s in Florida. Then we went to LA and crashed with our friends for a couple weeks, kinda doing nothing. Then we flew back to New York together and took the train up to visit my parents in Beacon.

It was pretty fun when me and my wife used to go Taipei mode, but you can only really feel that mode before you’re married.
