One is that you make me miss Taiwan more than ever. Second is that your photography is appreciated by many of us who can not return to Taiwan and often as we would like. Thank you so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10698887.post-88397132938327865372007-08-07T09:21:00.000+08:002007-08-07T09:21:00.000+08:00Michael, these photos are AWESOME!!

I noticed construction workers ordered the cheapest fare available. A huge bowl of rice smothered in a generous ladleful of minced pork in tomato sauce that they slurped by the spoonful. They looked fit, lean and mean. I tried it. Although I found it tasty, it was too filling for me. I was numb for the two hours it took me processing that fatty carbohydrate bomb. And, yes, they always ordered a second serving.
