Dear Nice Ladies at the Salon
Blog: No Hurry Curry - 22 December 2009
[Editor's note: This is the second post in our temporary "Two for Tuesdays" campaign to catch our blog up to near real-time.] 12/6/09: Taipei, Taiwan Dear Nice Ladies at the Salon, I’m sorry. I’ve never been to any salon, let alone one in a foreign country. My wife made me come after beating me in poker last night. [...]

Three Meals in Seven Hours is Totally Normal
Blog: No Hurry Curry - 22 December 2009
12/4/09 – 12/6/09: Taipei, Taiwan I guess Tina was worried that we hadn’t been eating well enough so far on our trip, because she and her boyfriend Michael WOULD NOT stop feeding us. Not that I’m complaining about that. On Friday, they took us to La Zhong Jian, an all-you-can-eat hot pot place. Midway through our hour and [...]

Adventures in Taipei, Part 1
Blog: No Hurry Curry - 21 December 2009
12/2/09 – 12/3/09: Taipei, Taiwan You can’t go to Taipei without visiting the tallest building in the world*. To me, Taipei 101 slightly resembles open takeout boxes stacked on top of one another. And they do have a really awesome food court in the basement of Taipei 101. But I’m sure it’s all pure coincidence. We went [...]

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 [...]

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.

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!

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.

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. [...]

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 [...]
