If you are even remotely associated with Taiwanese culture, you should know what an oyster pancake is. It is a scramble of egg, vegetable, oysters, and starch, all topped with a chili type sauce. My friend said she knew a place that had the best oyster pancakes, so we headed onwards north along the seashore. We parked in...
Christmas songs have hardly been competent for making it feel like Christmas. The same 6 Christmas songs have played in the hotel lobby everyday in the midst of the Christmas tree and the Christmas lights, but at the end of the day, its just a big room with a plastic pine tree, lights and jazzy music. Its not Christmas. But, what is Christmas? Is it something magical aura that floats in around...

We manuevered around some empty streets and parking lots, then walked barefoot onto a dark soft sanded beach- painfully crowded during summer time, peacefully bare in the winter time.

Mopeds in taiwan go for around three dollars for a three hour rental. It costs about one seventy-five to fill half the tank. Half a tank was more than enough for the likes of a three hour journey we had outlined in our minds, so about five dollars later, we found ourselves on the road.

ps. 103
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;...
I surrender, I die. Lord, have your way. Give me the courage to die.
Perhaps this should be partially accredited to my past involvement with the Sandwich Club, but last night or this morning I dreamt of this long baguette sliced in half. I had already preheated the oven and stuck half of a tomato in it. On one half of the baguette was avocado spread and on the other was tuna. The oven was ready for the slices but I had much difficulty getting the bread inside for...
