Taipei Observations

 

I remember Taipei had some delicious breakfast sandwiches.  And I remember the girls being very pretty (many wearing glasses) and having larger tits than you typically see in Asia.  The fancy tower (Taipei 101) was probably about half done.  I wouldn't describe the city as beautiful the way this guy does, but it was very stimulating.  And the Chiang Kai-shek Mausoleum was stunning.  He was the general/politician whose side fought Mao's revolutionary forces in a civil war.  We know how that ended.  - from an old e-mail

Gotta love the long shorts!

These and that other pair of shorts I bought in Thailand.  I wore them out!

Canadian lady and a local

This is a Canadian couple I met in Taipei and spent a little time with.  A few weeks later they arrived in Bangkok and I introduced them to Kade.  We got together on Khao San Road.

Growing up, all I saw was Made in Taiwan stamped on goods.  Who knew that one day I would have a chance to visit.  Wish I had stayed a bit longer and explored more of the country.
