Constant flow of people in the subway
The subway transit is Taiwan's new addition (less than a few years old) which connects Taipei with its surrounding cities, including Tam Shui (where Tina's Dad lives).

We found ourselves using the subway quite a bit during our trip.

Fast and smooth ride, not to mention clean!

This is the son-in-law I'm stuck with?
         
  
Eating was a constant activity it seemed.  That plus walking.  It was usually walking towards the next place to eat.  :) shaved_ice.jpg (74503 bytes)

Dressing Tina up
Some friends had recommended taking "wedding pictures" in Taiwan, where they can dress us up in various traditional Chinese costumes and take great photos. 

That's what we wanted to do, but I guess the place we ended up was just a "glamour shot" studio.  Oh, well, next time!  :)

But the pictures came out real nice.  Joe never thought he could look so good.

Take a look here for some more shots.

Work of art by Mr. Chen
We also got our portraits done by Mr. Chen, who's Tina's Dad's drawing teacher, working at a corner near the Tam Shui subway station.
