Here some additional pics from my trip to Taiwan Again, no classic sights.

Spoiler

Some side street. Beitou district.


Tamsui. Great eats.


View that you get at Tamsui.


Some snacks you could get there. Stinky tofu on a stick.


Gua Bao. Amazing.


Some pepper buns in the making.


Steamed bun close-up.



I could probably eat myself to death in Taiwan...

Not exactly my every day life, but it's a part of it. This is Porto Seguro, Bahia.





And this is me.

Taiwan looks nice, it's a different and interesting way of life.

Very interesting!
They were originally only temporary. NYC wanted to buy them to put on the tops of buildings.

Are they going to sandblast the stone? Those buildings would look stunning cleaned up.
