Late night post from Tokyo...

I am currently staying in Tokyo (after returning from Taiwan) before returning to my home prefecture.

So far it's been great! I can't believe that several men (real men) have chatted me up... this never ever happens in Australia so I am rather shocked. One was a rather delightful Spaniard who currently resides in Chicago.

Anyway, Taiwan was a big blast. It's such a beautiful country with lovely people and incredibly good food. I love listening to Mandarin and Hokkien and eating all the food from my childhood in Malaysia (though Malaysia does better friend oysters, I reckon!).


A picture of of the north-eastern Coast from the top of Chiufen Village on the cliffs... It was 35 degrees Celsius when I took this!
