For boring, same grey/ grotty suburbs, Taipei and Taichung are hard to beat. You really need to search out "interesting" actively! The same in larger mainland cities. At least in smaller places like Xining or the backstreets of Lanzhou the boring architecture and shops are frequently livened up by outbreaks of ethnic dancing, flocks of goats being driven down the road, and donkeys pulling coal or nightsoil carts who suddenly decide to pick fights with another of their kind, or just stop still in the path of turning traffic.

Good stories about the blue children he went to school with though.
Gold Coast is a veritable hotbed of interest, maybe a month just wasn't long enough?
