Ben was in Taiwan for 6 days on a business trip. Actually 4 the other 2 were spent on an airplane. It was overall a good experience for him. We of course missed him here on the home front...I am so thankful that I have Ben to do life with!
This is a picture of the scooter traffic. Ben said that they are everywhere...he saw a family of four on one scooter, a guy who rode barefoot. Rain or shine there were the same number of people out on their scooters.
When Ben would call, he would tell me about the food that he had the opportunity to try. This meal actually had a steak with it, so he was pumped! One of the delicacy's that he ate was a bird's nest. He said it actually tasted OK...however he was sure glad to sink his teeth into a burger when he was on his own soil.
Ben on a scooter. He said that the Taiwanese people were laughing at the tall white guy on the little scooter. They found it quite entertaining.
A Typhoon was on its way just north of Taipei. Ben's plane was the last plane to take off before they shut down the airport. As the plane took off it was shaking very hard due to the high winds and the rain. Ben said that he was actually a little bit nervous. But mostly he was glad that he did not get stuck in Taipei and have to endure the storm.
