That is really wonderful. Your guide seems like she enjoys what she does. I hate hate when I'm traveling and the guide doesn't like being a guide. She was very pretty too. The private eye sign was a nice touch, but ouch! It's a funny picture but I feel sorry for the people that need or feel they need to call. It's sad.

Oooooooooooh THE CAR! Thank you for the beautiful trip to Tiwan. I felt like you were my tour guide. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! It was so wonderful. If you go anywhere else let us know.

Really a great final.

I've enjoyed your photos a lot. You certainly got a full tour in. Were you exhausted by the end? Was it a press junket or a vacation?

Do the people cringe if you make any reference to the mainland?

De-lish! Thanks for sharing.

Extremely exhausted. Especially considering that apart from a maye three hours sleep on the plane back, I didn't sleep for 32 hours from my last day there to when I got back home.

Was it a press junket or a vacation?

Press junket, although about half the things we did could be more considered like a vacation.

Do the people cringe if you make any reference to the mainland?

Not at all. They're quite open about relations with the mainland nowadays.

Amazing pictures Kevin thanks for posting them. A long time ago my Brotheri n law went to Japanon a business trip and his photos of ancient Temples and shrines look similar in design in the pictures you posted here.
