colca canyon, peru

still have some photos leftover from my 2008 south america trip. these are from a 2-day tour of colca canyon, one of the deepest canyons in the world.

100th post: cihu mausoleum

i can't believe i've kept this thing alive for so long.

but to speak of things that aren't so alive, taiwan feels "so-so" about its past with chiang kai-shek and dismantled most statues of him across the island. instead of destroying them all, they are now conveniently situated in one small park in cihu. less is more? or more is more? there was even a band playing. and ice cream.

philippines, chinese new year

visited the island of palawan in the philippines over chinese new year. island hopping, motorbiking, jeep-driving, beach-lying, tricycle-riding, sea kayaking, snorkeling, eating, drinking and merry making extravaganza.

sleeping in taiwan

a few weeks ago, carly and i made a trip to taichung where we visited the national museum of natural science. this is where i snapped this photo of a man out cold on (presumably) his child's stroller. to a foreigner, it seems that a lot of people here love to sleep whenever they can - who doesn't? - but back home i wouldn't have the courage to catch a nap on a park bench or, well, a pram.
