Taiwan #2
... Jici beach for a bit with a few onlookers, who apparently dont usually see people actually swim in the ocean. the eastern coast of taiwan is amazing. the ocean is utterly refreshing. not too warm, not too cold. don't worry mom, i put on ...
Kenting is phenomenal
... , with the ocean splayed out below us, in all its foamy and wavy glory. the other side of the cliffs overlooked the peaceful Taiwan strait where we had spent our previous days. we drove for 40 minutes to Jialeishu beach, another tiny town, containing only ...
Taiwan
Hu-Waaaaa-Lee-en! We arrived in Taipei around noon and caught a 4 hour train ride to Hualien. I made friends with a taiwanese guy "Mr. B" (i couldn't come close to pronouncing his real name) on the train who helped us find our bearings ...
First Full Day in Kaohsiung
What seemed like it was going to be an easy going day, turned into a long one. We started the day by visiting the temple where Irene's father is kept. That was tough. I don't like to see Irene sad. When she is sad, I am ...
Taroko Gorge
... week in Taipei was a bit long, and took a trip down to the Taroko Gorge. It is a very impressive marble gorge in Eastern Taiwan. We were armed with a tourist brochure and sense of adventure and ready to do some walking, as what we wanted to get to was ...
only two more weeks til I say bye bye to Wanli :(
Can't believe it's been 6 weeks already since I first came here! Time passes so quickly when you're having fun...I wish I can stay here for longer and actually do something about my Chinese (2 months is too short a time to properly study it ><). At ...
Xinnian Kuai Luh
... , here in Taiwan, thanks to Confucius, it is a position of significant kudos and respect ;0) Unquestionably, Taiwan has been a terrific experience that has far exceeded our expectations in numerous ways. But just what would Christmas and New ...
Meeting Lisa again...
... it still needs a lot of attention to make sure that I choose the best option for me. I only spent a short amount of time in Taiwan, but I experienced enough to know that I could live there happily in the future, maybe even as early as next year... ...
Typhoon Skies
Tropical storm Pabuk hit the island yesterday (8/7/07). We are on the NE side of Taiwan and it hit the SW. So no worries, we weren't in harms way. I cannot say the same for China. We did get some fantastic skies, ...
Misc.
Here are some random pictures that I have been taking. Some are humorous. Some are just daily life. I do see peculiar things all the time. I would whip out my camera and take a picture, BUT I would rather not offend the ...
Trying to Learn American
... learnt/ed how to say two beers without any problem though, which was just as well as we spent a night in the Taiwan Beer brewery with our training group.... In between all this we managed to get to the top of the stunning Yamingshan National ...
Tai Ji Gorge
Following severe damage from an earthquake, this park was closed for 25 years. Having just reopened, with some renewed facilities, it's in pristine condition. At park's centre is a spectacular river gorge. But equally ...
Hsi-t’ou
A beautiful park of trees, streams, flowers, and quiet sitting areas. After the excitement and serious walking of the gorge yesterday, this was calm and peaceful wandering through shady glades of dappled sunlight, around still lakes, and beside ...
Another night out this time with some western food
Yesterday we went to the movies because it was a rainly drowsy afternoon. They have "gold class" seats here.Its the top floor of the mall, you get your own waiter and menu, you sit in lazy boy chairs and get blankets! It was awesome, we made the boys see ...
Presentations at the NCKU
I got up with the alarm today, though I am feeling more rested after my early evening. Patrick arrived to pick us up promptly at 8:30a, and surprise, surprise, I was late. Today is our presentation day at the National Cheng Kung University in Tainan. ...
Sun Moon Lake
Sun Moon Lake is a water filled volcanic crater in the mountains not far from Taichung City. There are several towns around the edge and a number of hotels. It's on the tourist route for groups visiting from mainland China now, so it gets ...
Field visit to 921 landslide area
... bit more time to stay here. On the opposite side of the lake we stopped at the Xuanzang Temple which houses some of Taiwan's holiest Buddha relics. Again, just like at the WenWu temple, the decorations are very ornate and well kept. Inside, there was ...
A full stomach and a happy heart!
Just came back from dinner with the teachers - I've never had so much seafood in my life! The dishes just come one after the other and you think it would never end. This was originally going to be a welcoming dinner but because the students have exams it ...
Yangmingshan National Park, Taiwan
The weather was appropriate so we decided to hike Yangmingshan. One of 6 National Parks in the R.O.C. It overlooks Taipei City. If you are in Taipei, I highly recommend getting lost on the trails. It is amazing how much they have ...
Travel and Day One
... high speed rail (HSR). I didn't have coins, so she graciously bought my NT$30 bus ticket. I asked what brought her to Taiwan. She said, after her daughter went away to school, she and her husband sold everything and came here. How exciting! Another fun ...
New Year's Eve...
I woke up fairly early to my surprise. My aunt and uncle invited me to breakfast at a local stand. They had a couple of boilers, fryers, and hot plates heated by propane tanks on the side to make a makeshift cooking place. We had some ...
Meal in the Mountains
... . The Taiwanese have a lot more and in a lot better condition. While China was spending money on nuclear bombs, I imagine Taiwan was putting it into national treasures. Anyways, I'd definitely recommend a quick sweep around the museum if not longer. ...

Hi everyone, This is our first update of our long awaited trip, currently we are in taiwan inside a very large airport that does not allow smoking, Makes it fun for danny and J.P. who almost are already ready to take lashs by smoking in the ...
Taipei and beyond!
I say Taipei but I'm sure we were all over. Carol had planned a trip with her mother's, father's, dog's, aunties, sister's husband. It's one of those things the Chinese share with the Scots for extended, family and friends and that general feeling that ...
contemplation on time
... Luke who seems to be growing a mustache and a few long strays out of his mole on the right cheek. Many men in Taiwan refuse to shave moles. they have cleanly shaved faces with 10 long, ridiculous hairs growing out of their face moles. they wave in the ...
The Fish Market!
Hello everyone! Steve had to work on his essay today and Eddie had to work, so Linds and I went to the mall to check stuff out! Wow its nuts! 12 floors of heaven! ahhaha.The prices in the malls are the same as home so not many westenors shop at them, ...

... through the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. As the founder of the Chinese Republic, he essentially holds a place as Taiwan's founding father...the closest American equivalent would probably be Thomas Jefferson. I would like to have spent more time there, ...
Disaster has struck!
Disaster has struck! The unthinkable has happened! An unimaginable tragedy has descended upon me. Are you sitting down? Here it is. I am tired of Chinese food. I know, I know. I'm trying to deal with it as well as I can. It all happened so ...
