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.

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.
