Family Tree

I found out during my trip to Taiwan that I have a family tree. The family tree - encased in a trunk and opened just once a year - dates back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368 AD). That's pretty cool. I'm the 45th generation of Chu.

That's me at the bottom. Date of birth is wrong though. Will need to travel back to China one day to make that correction and add addendums.

Cafe

In Linkou, there was this nice little Western-style cafe. Would not have been out of place in any Western country.

Taiwanese Subway and Bus Station

Kinda looks like a mall.

And...

A breastfeeding station. Very convenient.

Medicine vs Surgery

The Australian edition...

Hmm... not quite the same as basketball.

Taiwanese History

I think my parents had a date in the park behind the car once... eww.

The Weakest Link

Cor Blimey! These puppets are smarter than I am!

Rubbish Bin

This is me... trying to find a rubbish bin in Taipei...

Which it actually took me a few days to find...

Scooters

So many scooters in Taiwan... it made me want to get one. They are not even that expensive. One can be purchased for $1500-2000 USD/AUD... even straight from the store! Pretty good.

RT Mart... Taiwan equivalent of Costco.

Dream

I dreamt that I realized in my dream that UCI and ICU are anagrams. What kind of person dreams of anagrams?!?

Taiwan

So I had gone back to Taiwan to see my grandparents. Below are some things I saw (or ate) along the way. This is at a place called 舒果 in Taipei. All this for 398 NT (roughly 13+ dollars)! Yum!

Back!

I went to Taiwan for a bit. Just got back yesterday. It was not very convenient to upload pictures on the go, but I will play some catch up over the next several days. Below is the welcome banner at the Brisbane International Airport.

For the tourists who are not keen to donate an arm or a leg to the local wildlife... i.e. sharks named Bruce.
