Lay of the land

July 7, 2018 by Obolobo

I’m still here in Taiwan.  Initially, I came here to fulfill an item on my bucket list: learn to speak, read, and write Mandarin Chinese. The plan was to also continue study programming then eventually move back to the States…  But learning Chinese is a very involved process.  I discovered that I had to write each character 40 times before the word became part of my vocabulary.  On top of 15 hours a week of class time, I was also […]

Two Miles East of 林森北路

September 19, 2016 by Obolobo

Living behind 林森北路 turned out to be bad for the spirit.  Every night I returned to an area known for hostess bars and 酒店 where a twenty-something lady with a fifty-something man was not a rare sight.  Granted the accommodation was affordable and every taxi driver in the city knew where 林森北路 (Linsen North Road) was.
