Re: My Taiwan pictures
EXQUSITE! Oh that must have been a lovely trip to see such beautiful places, even if it was for work. Did your work have something to do with the protest? I'm sorry perhaps that was too nosey a question. But still, the Peking Opera must have been facinating to see. And the food! YUM! I'm quite envious of your prfession, and if I could read Swedish I'd beg you to let me find the artical online and read it. Unfortunately my linguistic talents only allow a smattering of ASL, some phrases in Spanish, and Russian. <sigh>

Re: My Taiwan pictures
Wow. How did I not know about Taipei 101, the tallest building in the world? It makes me dizzy just to look at the pictures from the top. Were you there twice? The lighting looks so different between those last two pictures.
How was the food and the shows?

Re: My Taiwan pictures
Great photos, KTR, very sharp and clear. Beautiful city. I don't travel much, but your photos make me want to!
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.
Re: My Taiwan pictures
KTR,
WOW! You have a wonderful eye for the grand panoramic pictures. I've also been to Taipei and I sure never saw those scenes in my head whenI was taking pictures there.

Re: My Taiwan pictures
Great!
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four
And here is the beginning of the whole story.
But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

No. Those protests just seem to take place where there are a lot of foreigners. And nowadays (since last year) there are quite a few mainlanders who come to Taiwan for a visit, and can thus learn about things that are forbidden in Communist China.

No, we went there late afternoon/evening and the sun set during that time. I was taken aback myself of how quickly that happenes when you're nearer the equator.
How was the food and the shows?
The food was delicious! I miss it. It's not the same going to a Chinese resturant in Sweden.
The Peking opera show was good, but you could tell that they where students since they made a few mistakes. But I found that refreshing when compared to the perfect drill they usually have in other countries such as mainland China and North Korea. It felt human and not robotic.

Well, I took over 700 pictures on my trip and I'd be disappointed with myself if not some of them had come out all right.

Re: My Taiwan pictures
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW! Can you tell I'm a little awed? I'm sure I sound like a sheltered child to you. Anyway, have you been to China and Tiwan before? It seems like you have a lot of knowledge. That pottery place looks amazing, I would have died to get something. I look forward to more. As many as you would like to share.

Re: My Taiwan pictures
These pictures are absolutely fabulous! I've never been to Asia so this is really a treat. If these pictures are any indication, KTR, I said you had a wonderful trip.

Wonderful pictures, KTR! It's nice to have someone who travels to interesting places to live through vicariously!
