Golden China Taipei

... The view was absolutely stunning. It was quite windy on the open air platform, but I really enjoyed the sea of lights of downtown Taipei. At 10 PM we had to leave again, as the observation deck was closing. I then decided to get back to my hotel by bus as I was already quite tired.<br><br>On Saturday morning I got up at 08.00. After I got ready I went down stairs to enjoy a breakfast buffet which was included in the room price. I then took the bus to the ...

... many good years left in him. <br><br>After the Hall, we meandered the streets. We passed by the Parliament building and Peace park, and eventually made our way to shopping district of Ximen where we had a Dim Sum Lunch. We were all quite tired at that point, so we decided to call it a day and return home.<br><br>I spent yesterday with Katherine and we went to the National Palace Museum. The Museum has finally been renovated and some of the permanent collections are pretty ...

... very good. He then brought in some of his students to play for us. The first girl played the erhu; which is apart the huqin family and makes a beautiful and very traditional Chinese sound. I enjoyed watching her play- she is famous in China and you can buy her CDs I think. The second girl that came in to play for us played the Chinese flute- which also made a very beautiful and distinct sound. Chinese flute players have ...

... and internet base, in order to look up how to get to the thing. Satisfied Ronnie? Well, I got there. I honestly don't know why you can't see it, but I literally did not see it until I was on the same block as it. I went to the top. It's high. Woopee. What's cool is that its close to a mountain, and you are about as high as the mountain's summit. That's an interesting effect. Oh, wait, there is more. The big deal at Taipei 101 is the enormous ...

... nachdem wir laengere Zeit so weit weg sind, wird uns erst richtig bewusst, wie sehr wir an Deutschland gewoehnt sind und welche schoenen Dinge es dort so gibt. Nicht das es hier nicht schoen waere, aber hier ist es eben der Reiz des Neuen und Exotischen, wohingegen das andere einfach nett und vertraut ist. Wir fuehlen uns jetzt auch vielmehr "deutsch" als noch bei unserer Abfahrt, wo wir vor allem mal raus wollten, aber jetzt freuen wir uns ...

... today that some 12 people were injured as a result of the ST in Taipei and 4 people actually died. The ST moves on to China now and they had some super bad weather in Vietnam as well. Thankfully people said that since winter is coming very soon...Typhoon season is over and we should not see anymore ST crazyness til August of next year. So ya, my first ST was really cool to watch and experience...but I don't think I would like to see many more of them! Insanity!

... to visit Taipei because it stops directly at the MRT station. Clinc with Dr. Wei was very interesting. Along with his fellow Chung and a visiting medical student Will, we saw a breadth of cases; head &amp; neck reconstruction, hand reconstruction, trauma, and replants. He sees his cosmetic patients at the Taoyan branch not far from Linkou. After clinic, Marlene and the Germans met me at the hospital and we went to ...

... this is a homestay, but we can't ask as nobody seems to be at home. Kids who arrive for a swim are also of no great help as their answers to our queston if this is a homestay are evenly split between Yes and No answers. At 4:30 we are back at the homestay, take an afternoon tea with home made tea and fruit jelly ( very tasty ). In the meantime the homestay is filling up for the long weekend and one car ...
