Taipei Taiwan Trip New Years Trip
Loretta, you mentioned our Trip to Taipei Taiwan
We had a wonderful 4 day trip. We returned on New years day. Taipei is beautiful clean, super friendly, safe developed city. Very little crime. The Natives speak very little English, but we always managed to find someone that spoke a little English. We were three couples. The temps were in the lower 60’sF with constant mist or rain. Angle was very cold, so she purchased a heavy coat that kept her warm. We spent a lot of time in their many underground shops and facilities. They have many underground trains that travel numerous places. Their driverless trains travel at 160 MPH speeds. They approach like bullets. Everything is well marked, so it’s easy to get on the right trains to get where you are going. We took several above ground tours of the City too. We had NYE dinner in Taipei 101, one of the tallest buildings in the world. Skinny and tall, like a tall post. With the overcast, we didn’t go up. We were just on the bottom floors.
We had a nice 4 Star Hotel with many good Restaurants. They had the first warm toilet seats that I have used too. Our hotel was about 20 Miles from the Airport. Good freeways with 75 MPH traffic. Taipei is located on the north edge of Taiwan, about 1,000 miles straight north from Cebu Philippines, hence the colder December, January Temps.
This was Angel’s first trip out of the Philippines and Experiencing colder temps. She loved and wishes to return.

Merry Christmas to all! I hope you and Angel have a wonderful trip to Taiwan.
Lots of weather happening in the states. We had tornadoes here in N Texas on Tuesday. Sirens kept going off as I was trying to leave for work, rain was pouring down. So I waited it out, and when it cleared, I left for work to find out that a tornado had struck about half a mile from my work about 45 minutes before I got there. Took part of the roof off our Sam’s Club building and damaged a couple others in our immediate vicinity. Timing is everything, isn’t it? Talked to my sister Karen in Rock Lake ND. She’s praying that the power lines hold up under all the snow from this latest blizzard. I hope all of you in ND stay warm, stay safe and everyone near and far have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
