Mid-Taiwan Trip

In June I stopped going to school and started to look for a job. Since that seemed to be a bit less work than going to School, Anting and I decided to check out some more of Taiwan. When we were in Taiwan in 2004, we drove down the East Coast and arrived on the Southern tip. This time we decided to check out the Middle of Taiwan. We packed the car, picked up some friends and prepared for the long drive. Much to our surprise, however, it really did not take long to get where we were going. Just a couple of hours to the first stop. Below is a photographic record of where we went and some of what we saw:

First Stop - Rest Stop. About 100 Urinals (They were numbered)

Happy Canada Day

The Closest thing I could find to a Maple Leaf


We spent Canada Day with Jeff, Jean, Iris and Ivan. First we drove to a mountainside restaurant and enjoyed a delicious meal with Jean's family. After that we drove to Taipei and enjoyed some live outdoor Canadian Music, put on by the Canada Society in Taiwan.
