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.

Nonexistent Wandering in Taipei

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.).

BKK night markets RULE!

I went to one of the Taipei night markets this evening… they’re not nearly as neato as the BKK ones. And there are no banana pancakes. It makes me sad. (more…)

Starbucks in TPE, and other random things

So, today (just after midnight) we arrived back in Taipei. What was supposed to be a few hour drive turned into a MUCH longer drive, simply because it was a holiday and everyone was trying to get back to Taipei, I guess. (more…)

Traveling through Taiwan

On Monday, after our meeting with the Ping Tung Presbytery’s Executive Committee, we had lunch and then left for our journey that would culminate in Taipei. Our journey began in the early afternoon, perhaps around 2pm and would end that evening in an aboriginal village outside Tai Tung, on the East Coast of Taiwan.

An Earthquake!

So, there was an earthquake this afternoon, about 6.02pm, I guess. It was at 10.02 GMT. It was a pretty long one, and it was a big one - 6.1. At least, that’s a big one to me! The building kinda did a rocking motion, like a boat, and was centered at a place that we are going next week. I felt like it went on forever!!

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!

Why I’m here…

So, I figured I’d be a helper and tell you all why it is I have been flown to Taiwan, besides the fact that y’all know that I LOVE travel and why not? (more…)

Darn Taiwanese Keyboard!!

Okay, so I’m a little baffled by all the headers on Internet Explorer, but I am trying my best. I’m on the Taiwanese pastor’s (Stone is his name) computer, in his office, and don’t have the ability to upload pictures. But I’ve taken them, and will take more. I will also try to upload them!!
