After the wedding, we went down to Kaohsiung to visit the family. Ping-chen suggested that we check out a Korean style restaurant for lunch. It was a great suggestion!
The sisters check out the menu
David Reid interviewed me as the Year 2008 Taiwan Blog Awards Winner. It’s being offered as a podcast on Taiwanwanderful.
Here is the link to the interview.
If you’ve always wondered what I sound like, here’s your chance!

We had the pleasure of attending the wedding of Cathy and Todd, of The Daily Bubble Tea fame, on Saturday, in quaint Nantou. It was like a blogger meetup! I didn’t take so many photos of the events as I chose to sit back and enjoy them. But, I did take photos of the dishes so you could enjoy them!
We were among the first to arrive, and the setting was just lovely.

We decided to head over to Hsinchu City to a place we’d heard about in the Sogo Department Store. It turned out to be a good decision.
First course out of the kitchen was these bao-zhe. A bit different and very tasty.

It’s been awhile since we featured some food photos for our foodie readers, so I think it’s time for a few articles about food. We hope that everyone has enjoyed the holidays and didn’t eat too much!
Hui-chen’s sister came over for a few days, and we took them to a place in Hukou that I like to call “the noisy restaurant” because typically people there are very loud. It was almost empty this evening though. Here we see Hui-chen on the left checking out the menu and ordering dishes with the boss lady taking the order.
We’re taking a few days off here, what with the holidays around the world and all. We know that you’re probably too busy eating and drinking (too much, I’m sure!) to be reading our blog. But there are a couple of things that I do want to share with you.
I purchased the new Garmin Colorado GPS. It’s quite a piece of work and is a GPS receiver that we could only have dreamed about a few years ago. I want to do a full review of it later, but for now I’m very impressed with it, even though it does leave out a few of what I consider to be critical features. Still it does everything I need it to do, plus a whole lot more. I’ll have more info for you in a review later on.
In the meantime, enjoy your time off with your family!

A few weeks ago we went to visit the family down in Kaohsiung. Of course we had a great time because we love Kaohsiung and our family knows how to enjoy themselves.
We went to this cool restaurant and covered the table with food, basically.

Last night, Hui-chen and I visited our good friends Michael Turton and family. On the way to his home I had to stop to photograph the setting sun.
Yes, that’s a jet at the top edge of the photo.

It’s been awhile since we’ve had one of our articles on local parks. My Nikon D80 is back in the shop for the recurring MENU button problem (the shop broke it last time), and today I decided to use my Sony-Ericsson C702 mobile phone with GPS to take the park photos.
Also, I’ve put all the previous “mini park” series articles into a series called simply “Taiwan Parks” which doesn’t limit the topics to mini parks only. So I can add any kind of a park to this series, city, county, national, or whatever.

If I said that I loved Taiwan’s scenic beauty, it would be a classic understatement. So when we had the opportunity to drive Highway 20 and cross from West to East, I couldn’t have been happier.
We set out from Kaohsiung and drove up towards Tainan, cutting east and then onto Highway 20 just outside of Tainan. The weather was absolutely perfect! See those mountains in the distance? We got a lot closer to them!
Please note that I’ve geotagged this article at the point where we picked up Highway 20 outside of Tainan.
