Taiwan Idol

I was unfortunate enough today to witness Taiwan Idol, the new, very popular competition based on American Idol...consider this: the ridiculousness of American Idol combined with Asian hipsters singing bad karaoke. God help us all.

ANYWAY, my eating binge is going strong: Korean for lunch yesterday, sushi and bubble tea today, passion fruit, miniature honeydew melons, mangoes, etc. etc. Woot! My Aunt Fiona also took me and the kids to the Lin Family Gardens, a huge historical mansion that was once home to the wealthiest family in Taipei. It was of course beautiful and a perfect photo opp.


After our stroll through the park, I met up with my cousin Allen and met his newborn son Howard a.k.a. Sour Puss a.k.a. Turnip Head. I also got to see my crazy Uncle Larry-the neurologist-who-talks-too-much and my awesome cousin Sean--both of whom I haven't seen since my last visit to the island six years ago. More soon, y'all! xx
