Date Night In Taiwan and 300
John and I have been together for awhile. While we were in China, we did a lot of things together with our friends. Since our move to Taiwan, we’ve backed away from an overly abundant social life and have started to branch out and enjoy the finer things in life on our own. Some might [...]
Gotta Luv That Sausage
My Several Worlds needs some light-heartedness after my previous post. So, now I’m back on track again…sorta. As I’ve mentioned before, some of the best Taiwanese food we’ve sampled here can be found at local food stands and carts, which are in every nook, cranny, back alley and corner of Taiwan.

Yahoo Blues
What the frack is going on with Yahoo these days? This last week has been very frustrating because I’ve only been able to access my account at certain times of the day. This started about a week ago. I’ve been locked out of my account every day. We’re also locked out of our joint Yahoo [...]
Another Saturday Night
We had a long day today, but we’ve still going out as we’ve been looking forward to the Reach To Teach party at Citizen Cain all week. More on that later. Jo is on her way over to our place right now. I’m excited to see her, as I haven’t seen her, or her husband, Range since before Chinese New [...]
I’ve Walked The Central Cross Island Highway
This is one of my favorite photos from our trip. A lone bike on the open road. What a way to travel Taiwan! I found this inscription just outside of Chinma Tunnel at the entrance to the old Hehuan Mountain Trail. I paused to jot it down in my journal and thought it was only fitting that [...]
