People

Our hosts have been incredible giving and hospitable, and their interest in photograping us is flattery of the most genuine form. The montage of people that we've met, from those families who have opened up their home to the business owners and local leaders that we've met, is remarkable. In some cases these montages take unusual form, such as my growing collection of photos of people photographing us.

Those above, in order,

1. March 22 - Bryan, the brother of Copper and one of the finest families I've ever had the pleasure of staying with (on a morning bike ride on the 17 km Hsinchu bike path). (He and Copper gave me a great collection of photos that both of them took of me during my 4 day visit at their home).

2. March 23 - after our approx 25 km ride (rare opportunity to travel other than by car) on same Hsinchu Bike Path. We were exhausted - but it was good.

3. March 22 - Phillip and 2 others after making rice noodles at the Rice Noodle Factory.

4. March 17 - 3 friends at a beautiful Miaoli B&B.

5. March 30 - in the mountains of La La Mountain. (La La means beautiful in Taiwanese.)
