Taiwan Trip 2011

Another annual trip to Taiwan to visit JC's family. More of the same: eat, sleep, and eat some more, and visit family in between meals. This time around, my parents made a visit stop here while on their Asian tour.

After trekking over 1,300 steps to see the Zhinan Temple, we took the Maokong Gondola back home. I'm not afraid of heights but this ride was nerve-wracking.

Taiwan Trip 2011: Awfully Chocolate
I don't think they really know what it means when they use English...

Taiwan Trip 2011: Stinking tofu
It's normal to wear face masks in Taiwan. I wear it when I'm sick and in areas where there's a crowd (especially at the night markets). In this case, JC ordered up some stinking tofu. It's a delicacy and national dish here.
