Anping

Hello all.
Today, I'm headed to Anping where Koxinga defeated the Dutch and kicked them out of Taiwan. Like many of their important historical figures, they have since begun to worship him and have turned him into a god. I we did that in the west, we'd soon have temples devoted to George Bush! I hear that Barack has selected Biden (which I think is a GREAT choice). I wish I could watch the convention.
So yesterday, I walked around Tainan all day. It's a great city and I really love it here. However, there is so many scooters (which we used to call Mopeds :) it's just amazing. It's like everyone has a scooter - and they carry the most amazing loads on them. I saw one guy with his whole family, wife in back, one kid on his lap, one other kid hanging on to the back. And they wiz all over the place and nearly kill you. They ride on the sidewalks, through restaurants, etc.
I went multicultural for supper last night - eating at an Indian restaurant and had chicken currey spegetti (sp). It was ok, but nothing special.
Tomorrow, I'm going to take the train to Koeshing then a ferry to a little coral island where I'll stay for two nights. I don't think there's much there to see - but it will be a nice rest from all this leasure.
