101 building *Taipei

All major cities are racing for the title of the tallest building in the world and 101 Taipei is currently the tallest building in the world.

Language is an absolute barrier to me in this country. Unlike Hong Kong, I totally cannot converse in Mandarin. People are stunned (with funny expression) when I tried to speak a word or 2 in their daily dialect. This call for an act. Learn Mandarin.

Taiwan is not just about Taipei or Taichung, as it comes in a package. From highrise to scenic, from malls to night markets...blah, blah, blah... Different and yet familiar... this is how I would describe Taiwan.

Ye Olde Smokehouse *Fraser's Hill

It was a beautiful sunday morning and I decided to give Mr. and Mrs. Green a visit at the Smokehouse. They were having a lovely chat at the swing when I arrived.

Don't they look wonderful together?

It was so thoughtful of them to invite me into their cottage to have tea together. I really enjoyed their company.


Time "flies" when you were having a such good time and it was time to go. I bid them goodbye and drove off.

~THE END~
