    Taiwan is more fun on a bike. Music: “Summer in Taiwan” by James Chen. (Taroko National Park 太魯閣國家公園 and Taipei, Taiwan)

  • ‘Very good taste’

    Taiwan Travel Tip: if your Mandarin skills are weak, consider busting out your grade school Taiwanese instead. People will be so busy laughing that you can pretty much ask for whatever you want. (花蓮觀光糖廠, Taiwan)

  • Eating Tainan

    Tainan has some of the best food in Taiwan, according to @thekevinwo & his excellent EatDrinkTW app. Both myself & Alex  agree fully. (福榮小吃—阿瑞意麵, Tainan, Taiwan)

  • Ang Lee

    Reading about The Master in his homeland. (Taipei, Taiwan)

  • High Speed Donuts

    Two things that Taiwan enjoys and America desperately needs: high speed rail and Mister Donut Pon de Ring donuts. One would create millions of new jobs, strengthen our cities, and fundamentally rebalance our nation’s transport mix towards environmental sustainability. The other is magically chewy and delicious and goes great with coffee. (台灣高鐵台中站 THSR Taichung Station,…
