Neat pics -- almost expect Shortround to pop out of one of those buildings "you call him Dr. Jones DOLL". Yes, McD's is everywhere and yes, chicken is very popular in the asian countries. Are prices about the same ?

Prices a bit lower than in the States - if I am doing my math/conversion right. Fast food tastes better here too - made fresher. But I do try and eat the local food when I can.

Mark - you need to get out more - hehe.

Hey - if anyone wants to get a listen to the language in Taiwan. Check out this video of a very popular girl group there called S.H.E.

I had a CD of theirs in my hand when I was over there and didn't buy it. Wish I had. But thanks to the Internet you can get it shipped to the USA - for free.....
