Everywhere I've been. Most places anyways.

The next day, Dad's friend and his wife took us to the Ju Ming Museum of Art and a seaside with strange rocks a little north of Taipei. We ended the day at a park back in the city and ate dinner with many of Dad's architect/contractor/other friends.

Brett, (metsbwd) had a birthday on Dec 11th and I looked at his profile photo and thought, I could give him a small gift by changing his shot. I downloaded the shot and did a little lighting and color changes.  I hope he is happy with the outcome.  Happy Birthday!!   If this is a …

Taipei surprised me. I had expected it to be similar to the few places that I have been in China. In fact it was clean, modern, and overall a very pleasant place. Taipei 101, the world’s second tallest building, towers over the city with its stacked teacup design improbably placed among the e…

When we first chose our apartment we had doubts. Surrounding it are about three dozen mechanic shops with cars jacked up, motorbikes parked on the sidewalks, and an abundance of greasy men shouting hellos to the three foreign girls.  This is because our fourth floor balcony lies even with a fr…

We got up at 3am! to have breakfast at the hotel restaurant which was opened for us earlier birds. Sang happy birthday to an unnamed member of our group, had the birthday cake, and headed to the airport. We arrived back in Taipei in the early evening. Will I return? Was it a good trip?…

I really enjoyed Taipei.  I have to say that I had many different feelings about it during my stay. The people are busy and still take the time to be courteous and friendly. The food is great and has its own spin on "traditional" Chinese food, which makes sense.  I also love the cheap tr…

This trip is off to a bad start. I was waiting for my lift to the airport when my phone rang. I got told to stand down becuase of typhoon Pabuk. We're scheduled to arrive roughly the same time.Personally I would have liked to experience one. But Taiwan get's about 4 a year, I'm going to be there fo…

Taiwan is mysterious. Taiwanese made an effort, so Taiwan became a wonderful country, especially, the public peace, the economy, the culture, the sanitation, and the democracy. Therefore, Taiwanese are proud, and very kind to the tourist including Japanese. I have been called kindly several times, when I have read a guidebook. Actually, my friends say that they want to revisit. But there is a problem also in the Taiwan travel. Because meal is delicious, we should take care not to grow fat.
