Taiwan tour: New discoveries...

A few interesting discoveries during my recent trip to Taiwan.

Meeting with Owen Yap (叶剑锋, famous 8TV news caster) reminds me that, I too can become a star...

Pigs are so adorable when they are walking(and sleeping), even nicer when it is being serve as roast pig....

You can simply take off your clothes at tourism spot by claiming you are from China...

Now I know my mum is really superb in communication & influential skills. Not only did she lead all the aunties to go naked in hot spring spa, moreover, she is able to match make me with some of the girls at the travel group. By the end of the tour, all 2 buses (50+ people) already knew who I am and came out with 1 HIGHLY potential candidate. Love is everywhere... :)
