A few of my American friends have this idea that Taiwan is some kind of third-world nation; therefore, they worry about the country's food and beverage hygiene standards.

I hope this puts their minds at ease.

Macau, here I come!

Wow, I won $400 in the latest Taiwan receipt lottery. Don't get too excited; that's only about $12 US.

Belated: Photos from Tiger Head Mountain

A couple of weekends ago I took a day trip to a local green area called Tiger Head Mountain (虎頭山). I'm finally getting around to posting the photos.

This is the first time I've used Flickr, so I hope this works. Please send me a message if it doesn't work for you.
