  1. Such beautiful grounds must be a rainy season there. I remember hearing about Chiang Kai Shek as a child in school. Lots to see at the outside market. Interesting don’t see that many cars but lots of people throughout all the countries you have gone to. Had a friend born in Taiwan one of my best friends from work. Interesting dish you have Jennifer. Enjoy love ya both God bless
