Saturday, January 31, 2009. More amazing, I am posting the pictures on my blog in a timely fashion. Holy crap. That IS amazing. Links to this post. Wednesday, January 28, 2009.

Tai-where: June 2008
http://justletmeread.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. I was able to purchase a lovely little book with a bunch of day hikes within the Taipei area. On Sunday, my housemates and I set out to actually accomplish one of the day hikes. Being the adventurous, spontaneous group we are, we started with day trip #1 to Seven Star Peak in Yangmingshan National Park. Yangmingshan National Park is firmly against Burning Man. Either that or the devil. I couldn't decide. The housemates and I at the top of Seven Star Peak. The hike up consisted of m...

Tai-where: March 2009
http://justletmeread.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. I'll miss you Grandpa. The dead are always looking down on us, they say. While we are putting on our shoes or making a sandwich,. They are looking down through the glass bottom boats of heaven. As they row themselves slowly through eternity. They watch the tops of our heads moving below on earth,. And when we lie down in a field or on a couch,. Drugged perhaps by the hum of a long afternoon,. They think we are looking back at them,. Which makes them lift their oars and fall silent.

A Half Day Ahead: A win without a win
http://itchyinjapan.blogspot.com/2009/10/win-without-win.html
A Half Day Ahead. I used to live in Japan. Now, I'm back in Japan. What will I learn the second time around? Friday, October 30, 2009. A win without a win. What is the right choice? Your "Philosophy Question of the Day" is sponsored by The World Series. The Yankees won Game 2. Just a few hours ago, 3-1. So I guess Yankee manager Joe Girardi should have a good sleep tonight before leaving for Philadelphia. He used Molina instead of Posada at catcher because the starting pitcher seems to pitch better.

Tai-where: Promises
http://justletmeread.blogspot.com/2009/05/promises.html
Thursday, May 21, 2009. It's been about 2 months, but all I have are promises. 1 Pictures from the Modern Toilet. For those of you on Facebook, you probably have already seen them. But for those of you who are anti putting your business on the interwebs, I will post the link to the pics. 2 A Taiwan wrap up. I seriously sweat over this one. I still feel too connected to the experience, and too disconnected from my life in the US again to properly put it into a blog. Until then, much love and such.

Sunday, December 28, 2008. The National Palace Museum. This was the welcoming committee for the museum. This me in front of the Museum, and then the brand spanking new camera's (which rocks, thank you mom and dad! Memory card filled up. Which was ok because we couldn't take pictures of the art anyway, so here is my rendition of some of the most interesting pieces. For more information about the NPM, although not much, go here : http:/ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National Palace Museum. Links to this post.

Tai-where: Behold the Modern Toilet
http://justletmeread.blogspot.com/2009/05/behold-modern-toilet.html
Saturday, May 23, 2009. Behold the Modern Toilet. If being reminded of what your food looks like when it comes out while it's going in is your thing, then man-o-man is this the restaurant for you. Labels: eating poop themed things. Looks like they skimp when they serve you food in the western toilet bowl. There is a pan on top of the bowl, so not the entire bowl is filled with food. Details like that are very important. I'm not going to lie, this sort of triggered a gag reflex. Follow me on Twitter.
