Taiwan photos

I was chatting with Hao Hao's mum earlier, when she scolded me for not updating this blog. Didn't know I have a fan. Ok, as promised, here's some sample Taiwan holiday photos Mrs Banana and I went during last December.



The bullet train from Taoyuan to Taipei















Borderline

















Chiang Kai Sek Memorial Hall















A fishing village enroute to Yehliu Geopark















Dark and gloomy weather during the winter















The signature Egyptian Queen Head















Weird but naturaly shaped rock formation

The place is well known for its marbles

The faraway temple. Notice the landslide on the right.















Having a coffee while appreciating the view















Shopping for snack at Jiu Fern















Guess what was Mrs Banana doing?




















Yup, a Kun-Ming lantern. Similar to that those in Red Cliff.




















Up up and away















Artistic roof decorations at the Wen Wu Temple



















Chicken chop? Let me grab my knife.






















Little steel lantern
























How many mountains can you see?















A very scenic Sun Moon Lake
















A pose at the Fisherman Wharf and Lovers' Bridge

How to get my bike out?

Happy 牛 Year!

Happy Chinese New Year! This is going to be a sticky post, always appearing on top of this blog, at least until the CNY is over. May the Moo Moo year bring good luck and plenty of wealth to all.

I nicked the Wallpaper design from here. Apart from the cute design and plenty of auspicious greeting, it also incorporates 己丑 [Ji Chou] (formal name for this year) into the head and body and 2009 in the eyes and nostrils. What a design!

Gong Hei Fatt Choy, everyone!
