I'm here in Taipei. It's been a week, a surreal experience. The city is huge with streets and big buildings stretching across the landscape. The people are friendly, warm and inviting, the food is fantastic and the sightseeing is spectacular.
Being my first time in an Asian country, I don't speak any of the language, but most everyone can speak english here, so it's been easy to converse and talk with our guides and host families.
I was lucky to come here with Rotary International. A charitable service organization that is about helping people and do good things in the world. Kimberly new someone who was in Rotary Club and they told her there were travel opportunities abroad. We applied and got accepted to go. Unfortunately we did not get to travel here to Taiwan together.
I'm off to the hot springs today and will get in the baths and see what it is like. One of our team members was slightly sick and the hot springs made her sicker. I think that I'll be okay though.
More later.
This looks amazing, honey! Can't wait to read more!!
ReplyDeleteThat building is amazing. There's so much detail and I love all the dragons. Something like Pops is considered an architectural achievement because of the roof but it can't hold a candle to that building. We really need to step up our game.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of stepping up your game...'bout time for another update....slacker. :)
Oh and have you been keeping up with the Thunder? We beat the Lakers in OKC last Friday night and we've almost clinched a playoff spot. We're currently in 6th place in the West. We pounded the 76ers by 20 points in philly and we play the Celtics tomorrow. Should be a good game. Playoffs start like April 14th or something like that.
Anyways, hope you're having fun. Can't wait to hear the stories and see all the pics/vids.
It was such an amazing place. The temples all had a wonderful vibe and energy about them.
