We reached Taipei on 14 July morning. The parents didn't have a good sleep in the flight. No. 2 son was not behaving well at the end of the flight. So the parents took turn to comfort him. The 4 and half days trip in Taiwan was ok albeit tiring. Maybe we shouldn't go to the fruits orchards on day 1 as most roads leading to the orchards were blocked by fallen trees (the aftermath of the typhoon). The rest of the days were good. More write-ups to come.
I haven't finished recounting my journey in Sweden and Japan; I returned from Taiwan just two weeks ago. Here's a brief account of my recent visit there (although I still have unfinished tale from last year trip to Taiwan). My first stop was Kaoshiung. Spent a day and a half in the town, then I travelled to Tainan for a weekend symposium. I ended my journey in Taipei for another short hike. The weather in Kaohsiung was quite hot, comparatively. It's not my favorite weather for traveling. Perhaps I arrived there too early; had I come a few days later, the temperature would have been cooler. Since day time was hot, it would be wise to visit Pier 2 area during evening or night. Not many people / tourists in this town. It looked quiet. The next day, I took a ferry to Cijin. The ride was short, about 5 minutes. Cijin Island is a fisherman's village. On the opposite side of the island, there's a beach. It was serene but scorching, to the extent that I couldn't walk m
