Just couldn't resist posting this picture. Took it from my apartment yesterday (24 July 2012). Such a beautiful sunset. This is looking North towards Tamsui.
The tall building in the picture is the Shin-Kong Mitsukoshi Department Store. I have great memories of that building. It used to be the tallest building in Taipei and on my first night here in Taiwan (22 December 1998) I was very disoriented and confused and alone in a new city: first time out of my own country. I landed up going to the viewing platform at the top and enjoyed the tremendous views of the city I would come to love and call home for nearly 14 years.
Great shot Paul... also glad to hear you have new employment.
ReplyDeleteIt must be a relief... for your bum amongst other things. (no more cycle tours around the country... for the time being)
Thanks Simon - yes - start on 6 August - one big ride next week from Taidong to Hualien through Taroko Gorge and back to Taipei - big ride.
