Vacation to Taroko National Park

This is Taroko Gorge National Park. What a place. We went there as part of our winter break \ Lunar New Year trip. Good fun!


Rain wasn't too bad especially if you're equiped with a plastic baggie rain coat (it came with the scooter). The flip flops or slippers weren't a probelem up to this point. I changed here because of the cold.




We took a scooter ride to Taroko Gorge National Park. It was really awesome to be on the scooter. Almost like riding on a "real" motorcycle. We rented the scooters so they were new and in good shape. Taroko is one of the most beautiful places in the world.

This shine was built to honor those who died building the road. I think there were 80 or so who died.This is one of the higher cliffs in Taroko.

Jenny's Wedding

Here is Li-Wen, her friend Irene, who manages the housekeeping department of a 5 Star hotel in Taipei, her friend and boss Kincer and Irene's brother.

The boats have sashimi.


Yesterday we went to one of Li-Wen's grade school friend's wedding reception. She got married a couple of weeks ago. It's the way it works in Taiwan. The wedding can be months earlier than the reception. Nice lunch at a Japanese restaurant.



The purple sign is the seating list for this table. Our name is three characters starting with the 7th char actor from the left on the bottom.
