This is a typical restaurant. I have been eating in places like this a lot. They only boil stuff. I get lots of beef noodles and seafood noodles. They also do wonton type things and vegetables. They also have lots of cold dishes like tofu and animal parts that they put on a scale and then chop up for you.
The National Musuem in Taipei. Most of the stuff here came from the Forbidden City in Beijing. It really irritates the Chinese government that Chiang Kai Shek took all the best stuff from China. The funny thing is that the artifacts almost definitely would have been destroyed when Mao flipped out and had the Cultural Revolution.
This guy is in Hsinchu. That must be a 10 foot tall Thumbs Up.
Just to give you an idea of how lush it is. This is a park in the city. Actually this photo doesn't really convey the reality so forget it. It's really leafy and green in Taiwan though. Trust me.
Hsinchu Harbor. This is about 10 minutes driving from my apartment. They have a good seafood market and jogging trail.
Longshan Temple in Taipei. There are temples everywhere in Taiwan. Even a small temple/shrine in the home is common. It is a stark contrast to the mainland because Mao decided it would be a good idea to knock down all the temples. Genius.
The temples in Taiwan typically have these really colorful cartoon characters on the rooftops. This one is in Beipu about an hour away from Hsinchu.
