Mountain day
It seems like there is a theme every day! Woke up feeling a little bit better. Went to get some sticky rice and rice milk for breakfast. I was surprised that the vendor of the sticky rice is still at the same spot 20 or so years later. It’s a beautiful day – blue sky […][...]

Museum day
Well, I was planning to take the gondola near the zoo for a good view of Taipei. It was closed temporally due to the storm. I will try again tomorrow.

Easy morning
After stayed at the hostel in Australia, it’s nice to get spoiled in the Sherwood hotel. Privacy, quiet room, and my own shower. My sister in law told me that Lady Gaga stayed here before. It must be good, right? 🙂 I went to have my favorite breakfast this morning: cold noodle with sesame s[...]

Strolling in Taipei
Yesterday was my walking day. After lunch with my mom and sister in law at home, I did what I enjoyed most in Taipei – strolling around. I stopped by the Eslite bookstore and browsed whatever I felt like. Taiwanese people like to read – it was crowded but not chaotic. Dinner at the crowd[...]

Back home in Taipei
It was another hot and humid day. I stayed at home and chatted with mom. I also taught mom how to stretch properly, for her shoulders and arms. Surprisingly, she is pretty strong. Just take a look of the squatting she did on the floor. Impressed?[...]

Just arrived in Taiwan
It’s about 6am on Sunday here in Taiwan. I can’t wait to check in to the hotel. Hopefully they have a room ready to check in. So I can take a nice shower after the long flight. My friends in Australia should be proud of me… The airlines included a piece of TimTam cookie in [&hellip[...]

Last day in Sydney
Just checked out at the hostel. My flight will leave for Taiwan at around 10pm. I also want to stop by Kit’s workshop this afternoon before I leave. That leaves me some time for this morning. Since I don’t have a wide brim hat to wear in Africa yet, I figure I will buy an […][...]
