Hello all.
I spent the day in heaven - the National Palace Museum. It's one of the four best museums in the world (so the literature goes) - and I believe it. The collection of Chinese artifacts is just awesome. It was taken here after WWII by Chang Kai-Shek and the KMT. It was previously the national collection of China, so you can imagine how that made Communists feel :)
In any case, I'm going to give up on youth hostels. It was going fine, until a couple of French A-holes showed up. So - one more night and I'll stick to single rooms at budget motels.
I had a real breakfast this morning, and it made me think of Diane Taylor's "endless cup of coffee." They definitely don't do that here - you get one and that's it. Plus, it's tough to find a place that serves beer at dinner. Can you imagine?
I was really put of by Taipei initially, but I'm more into it now. Once you get outside and into the "better" areas - the city is really nice. I guess its the same as NYC or any big city - you can't judge it by the central area.
Lots of people waiting on the free computer. They are giving me the evil eye - so I'll sign off.
Later!

Glad to here that all is going better. Seeing you were staying at a "Youth-Hostel" I was very surprised that they let someone in at your age. HA HA. Keep us update this is great way to follow up with you.
Have fun,
Bill
Bill - There are even older people than me here! Plus Bill - you'd fit right in since most people here can't speak English any better than you can !!!
HAHAHA - you can't hang up on me now!
French.. Typical. They are just jealous because they can't build a decent automobile to save their lives. And cheap wine gets you just as loaded as the expensive stuff so why bother?
