Taiwan
So as you know (maybe you don’t), I took two weeks off to visit Taiwan. Gotta do that once in a while to remind my friends of my existence… and remind myself of theirs. Also it was needed to recharge the Chinese/Taiwanese in me.
While I was there, I had some thoughts everyday that I wanted to write down. But now, of course I can’t handle that much at once… so I’ll just post a few pictures instead…

Found this in a car near my elementary school… we used the exact same thing for a school performance during 3rd grade… good memories…
How do you get anything out of this over-stuffed machine?

It’s a tunnel boring machine (TBM) behind me. Learned about this many times from Discovery and National Geographic, so excited to see it in person. This is a small one used to drill the new subway line by my house.
You’d think after 14-15 years, our elementary would upgrade that “lion dance” mask to something fancier. And I’d be one of those idiots trying to catch something from that overstuffed machine (so cute!!!).
ah~ good times. I wonder when we’ll be in Taiwan at the same time again … hopefully not too far in the future. I shall visit you in NYC soon.
