Really shouldn’t…

Friday, December 14th, 2007

Put off writing this blog. And really shouldn’t sell the Taiwan book in exchange for the Thailand book before you have gotten all the places we’ve been out of the Taiwan book. Because, now, I have no clue where the heck we’d been. Plus, John has told me I missed a bunch of places but I don’t see him picking up a keyboard and typing (which would actually be kind of funny since his grammar skills leave A LOT to be desired).

Anyway, I can only remember bits and pieces of the rest of our trip – like Kevin took us all out to Dim-Sum…gotta love a 24-hour Dim-Sum restaurant. I was kind of surprised it didn’t really taste that different from American Dim-Sum (well, you know what I mean). Could it be that something is actually semi-authentic tasting? Nah, that doesn’t make sense.

We also decided to take the train up north to a town that of course escapes my memory (edit: Keelung) but had this really kickin’ Buddhist temple built into a cave. And to get to part of the temple you had to stoop to go through. Mom and Dad decided to pass on that one. And then there was this other one that had this huge Buddhist footprint on the ceiling. Okay, it might not actually have been his but, really, who knows?

So, I’ve decided to just post this entry so it will stay in chronological order so I can post about Cambodia and come back and edit this one later…

Back home…to Taipei

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

We’re not really sure why, but we have felt really at home in this country. And now that we’re about to leave it’s becoming really weird.

The people are sooo friendly here, the food is really good, and it’s reasonably cheap. I’m sure it helps that we came during a time of the year where the weather is pretty good. I mean, for us people that don’t like the super-hot. Although I understand it gets really hot here in the summer. Plus, it’s green. Green is good. Did I mention the people here are really nice? Oh and the transportation is really good. Great trains and we took the bus from Puli. Cushy seats and movies. We saw that movie with Grace from Will and Grace where she hires an escort for her sister’s wedding? Can’t remember the name but her clothes are really cute in the movie. Oh, and of course, Kevin is here. And he’s the coolest. Of course, since he doesn’t read this blog (which he readily admits) he’ll never know that we think he’s cool. Poa.
Our plan was to go explore the north with daytrips but, well, we kind of had to some, well, let’s say, maintenance? Like we had to buy airline tickets to Argentina. Our next destination after Thailand. And since we bought airline tickets they froze our credit cards. Luckily, my big brother took care of the one card but the Bank of America card – let’s just say we hate Bank of America. Biggest pain in the butt. Luckily, the Citibank here was fantastic and helped us out a lot with the Bank of America situation. Can’t say enough about Citibank.

And my mom and dad came! They were staying at the Sheraton. We were staying at this hostel right near their hotel but couldn’t take it anymore after we were bitten by mosquitos non-stop for 4 nights. So we switched back to the Taiwanmex – love this hostel. Mago and Raul, the owners, are totally cool and helpful. Luckily our hostel was totally in walking distance. Anyway – we bopped around Taipei with the parental units – and dad actually let us pay a few times (we kind of had the advantage since we’d been in Taiwan for a while) – went up Taipei 101 (named because there are 101 floors) – it’s the tallest building in the world (since the one in Dubai that will be taller isn’t finished) – it’s supposed to look like a stalk of bamboo but I’m not really buying that – it looks more like little square teacups stacked on top of one another.

Big huge massive monastery

Thursday, November 15th, 2007

Okay, the reason I wanted to go to Puli was because I had watched this Globetrekker episode on Taiwan and it showed this massive monastery on it. John, who watched it too, thought I was on drugs - he doesn't ... [Continue reading this entry]

Green (Lyudao) Island

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

Taipei – refreshing city…

Friday, October 26th, 2007

So it's like mid-October. Time for the baseball playoffs! Fortunately, we're in a baseball-friendly country; unfortunately it's 12 hours ahead of the east coast. So hopefully we'll (okay, it's more like I'll, since John thinks baseball is boring - WHATEVER!!!), ... [Continue reading this entry]
