Ready to leave?
The luggages were packed and ready. What belonged to the hotel was in place. What was ours was secured either in our luggages or a hand carry sling bag.

Wrapping up the tofu stench!
These nephews are foodies, and they would eat – even enjoy, the Taiwanese stinky tofu that I dreaded. My wife made this claim as our 8-days Taiwan tour began.

“And if I can, then how leh?” *
Each of our 2 nephews answered, in uncanny synergy. “Then I’ll treat you each to a super-sized deep-fried chicken cutlet.” In a split second, I pondered and responded.

2 days ago, our nephews both asked my wife and myself if we could stay on longer in touring Taiwan.. The boy’s response was expected, as much as this last day of our tour was a reality inevitable..
