Taiwanese food
I may rag on Taiwan for many reasons but food isn’t one of them. Just look at this little spread and click through to flickr for the annotations. So good. Related Posts:From the inside looking out: cheeky fagCanon S90 Taipei Street NightHoutong – Cat VillageTaiwanese foodPapaya tree: resurrection
Houtong – Cat Village
At its peak, Houtong was a thriving and often fatal mining town, at its height under Japanese rule. Now, it’s silent and decrepit. BUT! It’s now a super duper tourist attraction because it has, wait for it, CATS! Yes, there’s a bunch of semi-feral cats and people now tour out to pet them. Oh the [...]
Papaya tree: resurrection
Most days we walk past a decrepit Japanese-era building owned by the university. There was a nice papaya tree with fruit growing right in front. Then it disappeared, lopped off about four feet off the ground. But it’s back! We’ll be watching it in our last two weeks here. Related Posts:Taiwanese foodFrom the inside looking [...]

Unfortunately it’s hemmed in and overflown by roads bearing heavy traffic. The river itself isn’t much to write home about either: a muddy, shallow, wide strip of water that doesn’t bear [...]

Today I broke down and spent too much money on books in English. The things an expat does to stay sane. Looking forward to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. What do you think of the new theme? I went with dark to make a better background for the gallery. I’ll work out how to change [...]
Canon Powershot S90 – first impressions
Anyone who knows me, know that I pretend to be a Nikon bigot: “Nikon make microscopes and Canon make photocopiers”. It’s a bit of a front, since I started on Canon. So, since coming to Taipei, I’ve been itching to have a camera to hand to capture the day to day, and indeed night by [...]
