Taiwan

Am currently in Taiwan and despite all the years in the semiconductor industry, this is a first visit for me. Truly a mix of what I've seen in China and Japan. A first glance gives a vision of how commercial exploitation can destroy natural beauty, but once I got over all the lighted signs, huge billboards, and shanties, I started to see much of the mountains and forests.

Driving is absolutely crazy and was probably the most dangerous part of my trip.

7 Eleven is everywhere!

Pandemonium at intersection

View from Hotel...brought my good camera but discovered that the memory stick was not in it! So will have to settle for the old low res. 'capture the feeling' Palm Pilot camera...
