I’ve uploaded most of the good ones, and some of the bad ones, for you to peruse. There are a lot, and like I said, I haven’t culled all of them (minor technical difficulties last night), so take them at your leisure. I took almost 700 pictures, and put almost 600 up, I think, so have at ‘em!!

Adjusting back to LA time is generally very easy for this traveler.
I have decided that Taipei is not my most favorite Asian city I’ve been in (granted, I’ve only been in one other LARGE Asian city – Bangkok, but you know what I mean.).

But we’re all okay, and rode it out. Along with the aftershocks. Woo! Apparently Charles and Laura had been talking about how this was “earthquake country” earlier in the day. Linda said they weren’t to talk about anything else for now. Otherwise it might happen!
For all of you, I will try to read Taiwanese. And try to upload pictures to flickr. But, I cannot guarantee that I’ll be able to do so. But, since I was able to do it, with someone else’s help, check out the pics from last night’s post – and today’s!
