A new attraction opens soon in Taipei – a Cable Car!

I look forward to a new “outing” after our return to Taiwan. One of the things about living in Taiwan, progressive attractions are always in the process of being built. The amazing thing, most things are very affordable, so the cost is rarely a hindrance to checking out new developments. :)

While in the US, we checked into visiting the famous American Airlines Center, and also checked into going to a concert at the Meyerson Concert Hall….. the price eliminates us every time. :(

During my quick trip to Taiwan I finished my second book by the author T. Davis Bunn. I had first learned about him thru reviews about this book.

Drummer In The Dark is a story that could have taken place this year. It is about the financial markets and traders in those markets. While it was about a field I know little about, I found the story interesting and well paced. The book was not as overtly Christian and the first one I read by Mr. Davis, The Great Divide.

I’m giving it 3.5 of 5 stars

Fun Times in Taipei

I’ve been in Taipei for the last few days doing some work. Jet lag wasn’t too bad although I had a killer headache for two days after arrival. After a couple of days of good Chinese dishes I thought I’d have some Western food for a change. So I decided on Pizza Hut buffet for lunch.

You know you are adjusted to life in Asia when “Shrimp Delight” &  “Japanese Teriaki” pizza with a side of “Sweet Potato Salad” don’t seem unusual and actually taste good.

As I write this post I’m snacking on some vegetable jaozi – mmm, mmm, good! You just can’t get this stuff in Dallas :-)

They Say Men Don't Listen …

Mark, a loving husband, was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary and his wife was really ticked off with him.

She told him, “tomorrow morning I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in under 6 seconds, AND IT BETTER BE THERE.”

The next morning, Mark got up really early before work. When his wife woke up a couple of hours later, she looked out the window, and sure enough, there was a small gift-wrapped box sitting in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe, ran out to the driveway, and took the box into the house. She opened it, and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Mark is not yet well enough to have visitors …
