Halloween weekend was full of drinking, dancing and fun...  Went to a couple of parties in a couple of different costumes.

My Travels to China, Hong Kong & Taiwan in 2005

Some photos of Hawaii, El Salvador, Mexico, etc.

Checked out of the hostel early in the morning, and we roamed the streets just next to our hostel. We came across a book store, so Huiling went in to buy some comic books. I walked around the area, then I saw the Rainbow hotel that was soo famous among my friends who frequent Taipei. It is tucked j…

I didn't get enough of India this year.. so I'm going back. This time to see some of the north. I'm counting down the days!!!

It’s finally time to explore the capital of Taiwan the city of Taipei to see what I could still remember after 20 years. There is definitely progress especially in the area of transportation. The city wide metro service has now connected every corner of the city together into a tight grid. T…

Great food, seafood, pastries, drinks, and the best thing is everything is so cheap when you can div…

Taipei was one amazingly modern and friendly city to spend time in. we stayed at a huge hotel just next to Taipei 101, and we were there for the category 4 typhoon in 2005... we watched Catrina on TV hit the states and then watched the same cat come towards us. The difference, don't be foole…

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…
