TAIWAN GO!!

Our trip to the motherland at the end of January.
Things I didn't realize about Taiwan: HUGE mountains everywhere, more food/sidestands of food than one can imagine, gorgeous national parks, stray dogs are everywhere (esp beside the foodstands), most user friendly metro ever exists in Taipei.



Taiwan High Speed Rail which had just opened for a couple of weeks. SO fast (300km/hr?) and smooth as...



Digging for golden clams. Then we ate em.



























mmmm sugar cane.




mmmm snake blood, meat, & gall





random sign








SCOOTERS!! there are millions of em all over the road, weaving between cars, through oncoming traffic...never saw a single accident the entire time although there was lots of screaming from us at near misses.

Rob Vs. Turtle: Rob trying to catch the turtle for a long long time (here they're having a staredown).... turtle wins











mmm pig brain









lotsa night markets...good deals...good times

































You can't really tell but there is fire coming out of the water here. There's apparently some natural gas bubbling out of this little water hole thing and it's been on fire for hundreds of years.










A lot of my family on my Dad's side.






Crowded bus. I was pinned against the front door. Me, Rob, my uncle & cousin and a couple of others were squished into the front steps.

Always lots of people. This was a trendy shopping area where the young folk chill.




Eating a cookie that translates as "cow tongue".










Check out his hat!
