The big jet awaits me at the Detroit International Airport. Into the fray of the noisy, noxious traffic of Kaohsiung, a city of several million at the south tip of the island. A neighborhood temple. One of the days I was there, they had a big festival and fed hundreds of people in their parking lot.

Food is so cheap, we ate out for every meal. This place was our breakfast stop. Delicious egg and rice concoctions! Soy milk! On the night train to Taipei to do some site-seeing. A long, uncomfortable trip up to the top of the island. A Taipei night market. Fantastic sights, sounds and tastes. Lots of tourist trinkets.

Some night market seafood offerings. On our way to the Taipei National Art Museum. Lunch after touring the museum. Delicious!
