Oodles of photos
Another update, not much more to add. I'm moving to a new apartment in Feb with a couple of S.A friends and the first typhoon in meteorological history to hit Taiwan in Dec, came through Friday night. Quite cool, very wet and I was worrying that my bike had blown over outside. Now here are some photos:

Some freaky puppets seen all over Taiwan, there is even a TV show with puppets. Thunderbirds without the bright uniforms and more beards thrown in.

My soon to be old and under furnished living room.

Some tea plantations I came across.

Bye for now
