Absolutely beautiful. Upon further digging, it appears that the 2009 World Games were held in Kaohsiung. Were you able to attend any of the events?

I've exhibited some bad timing in this regard. I was in Taiwan during the 2008 Olympics, and in Beijing during the 2009 World Games.

That's actually pretty funny. I'm not much for crowds, so I can't say that I blame you.

It seems you live in a beautiful part of the world.

As with most places, and especially in the developing world (for lack of a better phrase), pollution is unfortunately a large problem. I hope to move further outside of the city soon.

I've spent time in Beijing, and I always develop a cough. Living there is a serious health issue. I wouldn't have thought pollution would be too bad in Taiwan.
