TAIWAN: VIII

As I write this Calgary is commencing their 'war on homelessness and other nuisances' with their crack down on crimes against civility. Nobody wants to see a homeless person, so lets make them illegal. And the Mayor wants to increase the width of the new laws to enable searches anywhere (for no given reason) and allow police and bylaw officers to command people to betaken to the police station. Just because they suspect 'something'.

Hmmm....

More Taiwan.

Kind of a neat sign to see....as if glass door collisions are rampant in this part of the world?


Crystal standing on an outcrop of volcanic rocks, on Green Island, looking across to Taiwan.


Me, in the same position as Crystal.


Me, sitting with one of the last deer alive on Green Island. They were hunted so greatly that on this island it is suggested that there are few, if any, left.
The view from the back window of our house. Everymorning we would wake up to this and see the sun hitting the mountains and smell the humid trpical air.

A typical seafood dinner platter....when it is almost finished. The fish may look unappealing, but trust me it is very, very tastey.



A fish market in NanFang'ao, about a 3 hour scooter drive north of our house. Fresh anything can be found here. We saw a sting ray being butchered earlier, and Crystal, on an ealier visit, sa a shark. There are lots of problems with the whole 'shark industry' to be dealt with.


Same market, different section.
A view of the market town from the top of a bridge. This town was a very small habitation but packed with cultural facies that only a harbour town can display.


Me, posing for a picture and a break during the drive home from NanFang'Ao.
