Taiwan
March 31st, 2008
Mara and I just returned from our trip to Taiwan. Over the last week, we visited my relatives, shot our engagement photos, shopped, went sight-seeing, and ate a ridiculous amount of food. I had several thoughts about our trip. What struck me the most was how little my family in Taiwan has changed. They are undoubtedly most warm-hearted, generous, and kindest people I know. Second, I was surprised by how passionate people are about politics in Taiwan. Even a week after the election, the election was still on the tip of the tongue for everybody. Lastly, I always forget how amazing the food is in Taiwan. Mara and I ate non-stop from the moment we stepped off the plane until we boarded our flight back to San Francisco. Every time I return from Taiwan, I always look forward to the next time I go back.
Hong Kong
March 24th, 2008
So we’ve been in Hong Kong for a couple days now. It’s Monday mornng and we had breakfast at 7:30 am because we slept 12 hours last night. Still dealing with jet lag I guess since we came back to the room to rest around 4 pm and work up at mdnight! So we slept for the rest of the night and woke up this morning. We had dim sum already and it was really good. But I must say that the dim sum at home like at Fook Yuen is just as good so no new delights here in Hong Kong despite being in dim sum’s birthplace. Food has definitely been good so far.
My big shopping was on the first day we were here. We found an Esprit outlet and spent a couple hours there. Michael was so patient with me. =) Today we are going to go see the Giant Buddha, a big old gold statue of the buddha that sits outside.. Pictures to post for later!
