  1. Taipei Food Tour

    Blog: Ottsworld - 7 October 2009

    View my Taipei photography View Taipei snapshots This was my first trip to Taiwan – country number 32. Was I going to see China or was I going to see Hong Kong - I wasn’t really sure what to expect from the tiny island pummeled recently by typhoons. However, I had researched enough to know that at the [...]

  2. Morakat slams Taiwan

    Blog: Snarky Tofu - 9 August 2009

    Just a quick post to let anybody know that most of typhoon Morakat's force was in the southern half of the island. Taipei had wind and rain, and I saw plenty of tree branches down on my various and ill considered rides about the city on Friday and Saturday. The reservoirs up north that had been at near-drought levels just last week are all overflowing, which, in the balance, is a good thing.

  3. Electric Mountain Hot Spring

    Blog: Snarky Tofu - 29 July 2009

    At Grandma Nitti's in Shida about to enjoy her fine 180 NT breakfast special with a bottomless cup of coffee, sorely needed as I got to sleep around eight AM after a night spent hotspringing and hiking around the back end of Yamingshan with Dave aka HANDSOME DAVE. So this blog is a love shout out, and when I come across something worth shouting LOVE at it'll be indicated with BOLD typeface.Hell, let's make it retroactive!

  6. Hiking and River Tracing in Fushan

    Blog: Snarky Tofu - 1 June 2009

    Went on an amazing hike Friday with Tammy and Phil,Laurie and Chris. Went up to Fushan, a mountain south of Wulai, which is itself on the northern end of the mountain range that forms the spine of Isle Formosa.  Readers who still somehow have the impression of Taiwan as being a gigantic metroplex / semiconducter factory, something like a cross between Donguan, China and Tokyo's Ginza, will be greatly illuminated by having a gander at Phillip's page of photos from the trip.

  8. The Saturday City: Taipei

    Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 2 May 2009

    Living Taipei was an interesting experience. I had a lot of fun and I think Taipei is a great city, even if I wouldn’t live there again. Some cities you click with, some you don’t. However, Taipei has a lot to do and I would certainly go back to visit. Taipei is the capital of Taiwan. [...]

  9. Visiting Taipei 101

    Blog: Nomadic Matt's Travel Site - 28 April 2009

    I’m scared of heights. It’s not so much being high up that scares me, it’s more the fear of falling. Hike with me up a mountain and watch my stay far away from any edge. I once went hiking with a girlfriend and made her get away from the edge because it freaked me out [...]
