As it comes closer to coming home, I’m fixing my jetlag almost back to normality. I woke up around 9 & took the daily ritual walk around the block w my uncle for breakfast. I had a green onion egg, and ‘fan-twan’ which is a bunch of rice squeezed over shredded dried pork & ‘you-tiau’ […]

Taiwan has beautiful National parks & Hot springs for tourists. But what do the locals do on a regular basis? Shop and Eat. And that’s pretty much it. And there’s enough of it to go around. We boarded the train by noon and got back around 3 pm. I washed up and got ready real

Through Monday’s fun-filled day, I met the most interesting and amazing Taiwanese boys & girls around my age. I don’t meet too many Taiwanese back home, and most the Asians I know that grew up around me barely have the interest to travel. These were 30 people who all shared the same interest as me,

I flew in last night around 9 pm. My uncle & I walked out from his place on Kun Ming Road in Shing-mun-ding (trendiest neighborhood in Taipei) to Hua-shee-jieh road (Snake Alley). On the way there, I stopped by a street cart for a bbq spicy Corn on the Cob for 1$. It’s nothing like you’ve

Taiwan’s known for the beautiful Agriculture from Mountain to Shining sea, famous for the various

Another remarkable day in Nha Trang Beach. Today, a dozen of us backpackers and expats rode on motorbikes from Nha Trang Beach to the Ba Ho Waterfalls. Last night, we all met at Guava club and took it easy with just a few drinks. It’s like Cheers here where everybody knows your name! And the drinks

You could really live like a king in these countries. It’s a temporary skewed thought, relative to perspective (and space). I hear the average income over here is about 100-200$. Although it is run by a Communist government, Capitalism is on the rise and there seems like much room for growth.. more than Cambodia and Burma

Yesterday afternoon I took a walk around the beach, and found a cafe to read a bit and have a coffee. LOVE the Vietnamese Coffee! They’re so tasty and strong, with a drop of condensed milk. Yummy, and gets me at the perfect high. We went to the Rainbow Bar, where I was the night

I finally feel relaxed. This will be my vacation from my vacation the last few days. Nga Trang beach is a Beach town. It reminds me of Vietnam’s version of Santa Monica. A very city-like, so it’s not a beach like Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Or the Southern Thai beaches we were at where they were secluded

We toured Dalat, Vietnam today which is a little town the French transformed years ago into their own little getaway. Call it the little Paris. Dalat is a very clean, pretty, simple colonial town. Hilly, wide and clean streets that reminded me of Berkeley. Dalat is a small town of peace & tranquility, a relief
