Great pictures Rico. Taiwan and Chi9na in General have very interesting Cities to photograph, as there seems to always be something interesting happening.

It is a great place to take pictures. Going to try and venture to the ocean coastal city of T'ainan or Kaohsiung this weekend. There are more pics up at the link below. Here's another sample one:

I think the boxed lunches are pretty neat! It's like a different present everyday.... What will it be??

I had a Big Mac last night. I needed a burger after all the rice, etc. I've been eating. Tasted great!

I know when I was in China I ate at McDonalds and KFC a few times, and nice to see familar food. They also had Pizza Huts as well, have you run across any of those in Taiwan Rico?

That's funny, there is a McD's, KFC and Pizza Hut all within a block or two of my hotel. I generally like the local food here, but sometimes you just have to have something other than tofu and rice!

Yes - even more pics from my weekend outing. Here's one and more at the link below as before....

And More....

Thanks for sharing the Pictures. Makes me feel like I am on the trip with you. Your Lunches look interesting to say the least. Just eat, dont ask what it is ;)

I have discovered that there are at least 3 or 4 occupations that can make you money in Taiwan. They are: an optometrist (everyone here has glasses), allergist (many here seem to have allergies, etc.), women's underwear maker (every other store is a women's underwear place - how much do they need?), and last a cook (every six feet is someone cooking something - I'm not joking). It's pretty funny. You can walk down a street and only see stores & shops that fit into one of the above areas. I should probably add taxi driver to the list as well. Anyway, having a good time except the sleeping. Who needs sleep anyway? Too much to see and do! More pics up soon! :biggrin
