We decided to go to An Ping first because there is no telling if we went to temples how long I could spend there ...

After having a lunch of Beef Noodle Soup, we made our way to the Chihkan Tower. The tower was built on a site originally occupied by the Dutch. Today, there is a Japanese Style Fort there and it is surrounded by commemorative stone tablets (which pay tribute to ...

The first two pictures are all of us in the car on our way to a club. The couple dancing shots with the skimpily clad women is when Madonna was playing.

So on Wednesday I celebrated my birthday with a massage, lunch at one of my favorite places and dinner at this ...

Much like we don't have 13th floors I guess. Our rooms are spartan by western standards but more than adequate. The bathroom has an absolutely gorgeous porcelain bowl sink with hand painted flowers. Instead of a dresser ...
