One of the great pleasures of traveling is trying the food. This is a bakery near the hotel that we stayed at in Taipei. I did not try anything here but everything looked very inviting.
I have been teaching English as a second language for over 20 years in Japan and Canada. What keeps me in Japan is the love of its culture, which constantly surprises me. I am also fascinated with "alternative travel", or "travel off the beaten path". Ferries and trains are my mode of choice... airplane for convenience.
