..... the first thing that Jerry and I noticed were the hundreds of motor scooters parked so neatly along the streets in downtown Taipei..... and those traveling being so cautious and polite to us ......certainly different from Chicago..... 

..... coffee and sunrise at Sun Moon Lake was a memory to take home..... we strolled and explored each day .....had our first mango and beef stirfry, apple-filled pork,  grape/shrimp pilaf ..... our first stir-fried sweet-potato leaves.... all with strangers sharing knee-high benches.....

.....the EVA air flight from San Franciso was great ..... no stops..... direct flight ...... we enjoyed the departure lounge privilages, private van transporation, boutique hotels, flexible free time to explore alone..... we will be going Roads2 again .....

..... my husband enjoyed Taiwan's finest Old Street in Sinhau, just outside Tainan.   early 1920's architecture and businesses that cater largely to locals...... he had his first 'douhua', soft tofu pudding snack ..... I had a 'golden bull horns' sweet buttermilk croissant....

..... the Taipei County Hakka Museum is a must-see.... for visitors, the depth and diversity of culture in Taiwan is not well understood..... and this museum is a great way to start ......

..... my wife really enjoyed this travel experience..... we enjoyed camping and backpacking in our early years, and this travel experience included Sun Moon Lake, Kenting National Park, Hualien and Taroko Gorge.....

Taipei 101 ......wow, the highest enclosed building in the world until Lotte Super Tower 123, Seoul in 2014.   Burj, Dubai is taller, but not enclosed at the top..... 

..... my brother and I wandered around Snake Alley ..... that was quite an experience ..... when in Taipei, stop by for an evening look ..... if you can find the time ..... visit Keelung's famous Maiokou Night Market ....

..... a first-time experience in Asia.....  the Taiwanese are wonderful hosts.... happy, smiling people ..... impressions that last .....

..... we saw it ..... the hillside National Palace Museum  with over 650,000 priceless Chinese cultural artifacts..... too many for display ..... this huge collection is one of the best we have seen in all of our travels.....
