What stayed in your mind as you recall memories from your travel? Some of these special moments were definitely fleeting ones! Like these snippets of interactions my group and I had with the locals in Taiwan during our November 08 tour

What transpired to begin the interactions? How did things wrap up? You will read the hows and whys – plus the surprises within.. In this page, I will share of the (many) conversations memorable, as I recalled from our 8-days in Taiwan. Here is the list.

P.S. Wherever possible, I chose not to show (large identifiable) faces of individuals mentioned in my stories – those of ourselves or others. Simply out of respect for the individual’s privacy online.
