In Taiwan, Everything is Easy

Stinky Tofu- I Hate You!         Stinky Tofu  permeated the block.      “I couldn’t smell the fried rice. The French Fries whiffed of Stinky Tofu. Not even the scent of fried Squid could be breathed in. Is there a Stinky Tofu tax for stall owners at the  Taiwan Night Market ?"            Her eyes pierced the roughness out of my soul. She wiggled free from his hand. Her feet tried to escape her body.          Those eyes told me something important. She remembered where she was last Wednesday night. His cell phone distracted him. This put her at an advantage.      She jumped to more adventurous ground. He held the box of Mr. Wu’s Pork Dumplings. Her purple sneakers landed on the concrete.

An Open Letter to Taiwan's President, Tsai Ing-Wen Travel to Taiwan to Witness Excellence Dear  Ms.Ing-Wen, You have two days to thank me for Taiwan's recent recognition as an up-and-coming travel destination.

This character means Trust ." I bravely responded, " Ok, let's get two tattoos then . " I now have Japanese tattoos on both of my shoulders. I know from my first-hand adventures that Google Maps works in Mexico, Asia, and many more continents. One Uber driver in Thailand even took the time to write a review about what a wonderful Uber customer I am, " This customer was so wonderful. He paid his bill without giving me any trouble. I would definitely pick him up again. "  I  received this very personalized e-mail from the CEO of ClubMed Cruises," Congratulations! You can give us $5,000 for a three day cruise in The Mexican Riviera . This comes with a free Hawaiian T-shirt."   If this wasn't all enough to prove my travel accomplishments to ...
