Pam's Picture a Day
I suppose the best place to start is at the beginning: This is our first night in Taipei, at what is still our (sentimental) favourite night market near Minquan W. Rd. MRT (subway stop). Brian (my boyfriend) is wearing a David Suzuki CBC shirt I bought him just before we left Canada (see the crazy 70's fro?).
I can still remember the first walk into the crazy neon chaos of signs with Chinese characters. Not unfamiliar to me (I remember the same thing from visiting Hong Kong as a kid), but still completely surreal.
This is the night market near the apartment we lived in for our first month - where we bought and loved such Chinese delicacies as BBQ'd whole squid on a stick (I still need to get a picture of us chomping into that), stinky tofu and pig's blood pudding. mmm-mm.

Hey, did I show you the retro CBC t-shirt that I bought in Ottawa? It's got the old CBC logo on it with a map of Canada. Very cool. I love CBC, especially their free podcasts!
I think I saw that one!
Hey, I've been trying to download the Massey lectures from CBC but it keeps cutting off on me mid-download. Have you listened to this podcast?
I've listened to all 5 of the Massey Lectures and they are thoroughly captivating and thought-provoking. They make you want to go to Africa right away and do something!
