My class trying to teach me Chinese...

A maze made of flowers

A touch of chaos. There were many other schools at the Green Expo.

Taiwanese Tombstones


Taiwanese family tombstones are one of the places where ancestor worship occurs, particularly during the month of April. This is when families return to the tombstones of their deceased relatives, clean the area around it and socialize.

30 minute bike ride from my house


The clouds roll into and across the mountains.
The city of Ilan from a distance.

One of the tamer mountain roads.
A river flowing parallel to the road.

A humongous worm.

Hiking shots...

Me at a beautiful restaurant in Taipei.

A western brunch is now a coveted meal .... yum!
