After non-stop work in the studio for what-feels-like-forever (I know, stop complaining right?) Shin Yu took Yoshi and me to Taipei for 2 days. It was like being freed from...well, not prison, but something that you really need a break from. We managed to cram about a thousand things into the 2 days, and now need a rest from our rest. Here are some highlights:
 |
| Everything is sold fresh and whole in Taiwan. No mystery meat. And everything is used. |
 |
| Dumplings for breakfast. I could eat dumplings every day for ever! Love them! |
 |
| Po-Ching took us to this secret spot. Thanks Po-Ching! |

| Temple in Sensia |
This temple is very famous, and has been under construction for 100 years. It was built long before that, but an earthquake ruined a lot of it. So an artist was hired to rebuild it, and he hired only artisans to work on it. Thus it is amazingly crafted with the finest detail, but not finished even after 100 years. It is mind-blowing.

I might expect a temple to be on a quiet mountain somewhere, but temples are mixed right in with the cities. So there is a lot of contrast between old and new. Quite amazing.
I'll post the rest of the photos shortly!
