Time flies. Feel like only back from Spain yesterday and will have another trip to Taiwan next week. Unfortunately, there's a typhoon developing in that region now. Typhoon Soulik is advancing in full force toward the island now. Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau forecast the typhoon will reach mainland China on 14 July, that's the date we will be in Taipei. Hopefully there will be better weather from Sunday onward. By the way, the weather forecast on CBW's website is superb and up-to-date. So much better than our local meteorology.
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
