Taipei 101
It was too difficult to capture all of the tallest building in the world! Okay, so I cannot find the text from this entry. It must be permenantly lost out in cyber space. However, I want to republish it so everyone can view my pictures again.
In short, I will say that Taipei was a fun city. It is like the New York City of Taiwan - very big, Westernized in many areas, extremely polluted, and filled with people driving in very crazy ways. It seemed to me that more people walk in Taipei, and the subway system was wonderful! It was so clean and easy to navigate. Also, more people speak English in Taipie, so it was easier to get around. With all of that said, I am happy with my choice of Tainan City because I think I will have a true cultural experience here (without a lot of Western influence.) However, I will return to Taipei again soon, so my opinion could change in the future...

I love these blogs and all the pictures! I look forward to reading everything......you're such a talented writer. The story about the man helping you is wonderful......those little things make entire days, and even a hard week, seem better. I liked reading about Chaing. Yes, he was a dictator, and I'm glad to hear they are deciding to stop making him so heroic....I am sure there is another cultural person they could idolize instead! Oh, and a p.s. how much did you love the coldstone and the bookstore....awesome!
