... case the kumquat and crab sauce was really good on the very tender fish. We had a bottle of 2003 Pouilly Fume with our meal, and it was perfect for a summer lunch. The dessert was a tiramisu served in a small ramekin. Was it good? my sister ate hers and had one more, 'nuf said.
It was unfortunate that we did not have time to enjoy the hot spring bath today. The facilities looked really nice and luxurious. Of ...

... Mitä olen Suomalaisia lehtiä tässä netissä lukenut, niin siellä on aivan järjettömiä uutisia tyyliin "Suomalaiset lensivät Hong Kongiin pelätyn virusmiehen koneessa"! Siis mitä ***tua? Minkä ihmeen virusmiehen??? Aika tylyä! :-) Varmaan minustakin tulee joku uusi "virusmies" tässä vielä?? Alkaa oikeasti kuumottamaan jos tässä on kaiken lisäksi joku elinikäinen virusmiehen titteli vielä jaossa?! Jos täällä Taiwanissa nyt lähtee joku pandemia pyörimään, niin se on ...

... than masculine. This would seem to be the connection between the adobe pueblos of northern New Mexico and western Africa including Morocco. The word 'adobe' after all comes from the Egyptian via Arabic and Spanish; so did the building techniques I think. The original Indians had to use rock or we would hardly even know of them after five hundred years, like the dirt 'Indian mounds' of the Mississippi Culture. Mud's good but not ...

... Welt in nur 37Sekunden ab in den 89 Stock. Dort ist auch der riesige Schwingungsdaempfer angebracht, der den Koloss vor Wind und Erdbeben scheutzt. Aufgrund des schlechten Wetters konnte man leider nicht auf die Aussenplattform im 91 Stock, aber von dort oben hatte man auch so eine wirklich ausgezeichnete Sicht auf das glitzernde Lichtermeer der Stadt bei Nacht. Viel bodenstaendiger war der naechste Tag, an dem wir einen Ausflug in den Zoo ...

... needed some basic items (eggs, milk, bread, etc...). I put on my work-out pants...my hoodie and flip flops (I think wearing running shoes would have been a silly thing to do). I was just about to head out when Meghan came out of her room and asked me if I would mind waiting around an extra 10 minutes for her to get ready cuz she wanted to come with me. I gladly said that I would. It's always nice to bring a friend along when you have to brave a Super Typhoon ...

... for mangoes and Dcha-Chien for taro ( like a potato, just different ) - we buy and enjoy taro ice cream - and bamboo. As we have no clue where we are we ask a man where to get off and he says he will tell us. He then presses the button and off we are in pouring rain. A police car is parked beside the bus station and a moment later a police man exits a shop. We ask him the way to Bulao or Baulai villages, the way we want to walk originally. He offers to ...

... bus station I meet a man with a motor cross bike and we talk a bit in Chinglish. In Songluo the village kids come running to me as they know me from last week or earlier today - some even say/remember Deguo ren - the German. At hunters the youngest daughter ( 18 plus ) shows me my place on the second floor with an own veranda, big room and a toilet, half outside in a tree - it all feels like a tree house. the daughter has a very open personality and ...

... bags to go thro. Xray. It was relatively quick for me as I checked in 4 hours before the flight, but by midnight they had people lined up down the block OUTSIDE as there wasn't room for everyone getting on the countless 747s flying across the Pacific. We were nearly 2 hours late taking off as the cargo system jammed, but we were on the plane already so comfortable. In fact I was able to stake out 3 seats. The back section is crammed but the middle one ...

We're now in Taepei! Granted, it was not on our scheduled flight, and our bags probably won't make it to Cambodia, but WE made it. After we boarded our America west flight in Phoenix, we were told we didn't have a pilot, and our delay would be 2 hours. Since we only had a 2-hour layover in LA, and the help counter wasn't any help, we arrived in LAX hoping to get on the next EVA Air flight on standby (it ...

... s probably because I left on Sunday and I've just arrived in Taipei on Tuesday morning. Now that's far East. It's wonderful to walk around after sitting on my **** flying half way around the world, literally. Taipei has a very modern airport with all the amenities you'd find in any major western city unless you land at 5am before anything opens. I managed to find an ATM thru many gesticulations and showing the cops my HSBC card, but being a bit discombobulated after a 'few ...
