these are just the few photos i took on my digital cam. i took many more on film, and some on my big brother's expensive Nikon. here's just a few...
this was a sign on the escalator at the local RT Mart (kind of like our Wal-Mart, only even bigger).

one of the billions of photos we took of Taipei 101, the current world's tallest building...

the National Palace Museum...it had some really amazing works of art that were thousands of years old...

the view from the roof of the hotel we stayed at in Taroka National Park :D

some locals splashing around in a little stream near my sister-in-law's home...

and, of course, SHOPPING!! i got these boxers for super cheap downtown. yes, mrs. pac-man ripoff. woot. (ignore my skin. the humidity made me break out like whoa. when i think of Taiwan, one word comes to mind: SWELTERING.)

i got these all for about 100 NT each (about $3 US) at the market downtown. what a steal. please excuse the jet lagged eyes.

note what site i'm on :o edit: holy crap you can totally see my bra and belly button in this one. i forgot how see-through the shirt is. erm.

the pattern on this one rules. pink horses with little dots. and it reverses to a striped grey on the other side.

this is a close-up of the giant spiders there. you can't really tell from the photo, but trust me, they're huge. about the size of a hand. at least. when you can see spiders from the ROAD, you know they're big motherfuckers.

Taroka National Park - the Mysterious Valley (i think :confused: )

a shrine to the workers that died building the temple and roads in the national park (the shrine itself has had to be rebuilt twice due to natural disasters!!)

Looks like you had a fun trip,

I've got to see the Far East one day. But living on the east coast, I'm sure it would cost me a fortune for airfare.

Anyway Cos, you look very cute!

Steve looks like a politician in this one,

I like the shirt with the pink horses. Not only do I love those 2 colours together..but it's just a random animal print. Cool stuff. I must look into going there for vacation. :)

And, if someone told me I looked like Kim Cantrells (sp?) character from the ST movie.. I'd be pretty darn happy. She's a cool chick.. unless they said you have ears like her in that movie or something.. Then I'd be worried.

im going to go with the "im a big dork who studies tall buildings contradictory" comment on this one and say its not the tallest building. they put a really friggin tall thing on the top to make it that way. but i still like the photo. excellent! (y)
