		<title>Exercise Fanatics</title>
		<description><![CDATA[People exercise a lot more over in China and Taiwan.  They go to parks.  They have little exercise classes at the beginning and end of each airplane ride.  If that isn&#8217;t enough for you, they also have a little brochure of exercises in the pocket in front of each seat, so you can do them whenever [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=taiwanelli.wordpress.com&blog=4789266&post=467&subd=taiwanelli&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Ride a Bike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Taiwan, people ride scooters.  In China, they ride bikes.  Over here they&#8217;re always telling us to ride bikes to save the environment.  If so many people are riding bikes over there, and we still have problems with global warming, then we are in serious trouble.  Also, we only have bike racks for two or [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=taiwanelli.wordpress.com&blog=4789266&post=457&subd=taiwanelli&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Deforestation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We went to a city in Taiwan that was famous for its wood carvings.  What I remember of it was a row of shops along a street with a forest at the end.  All the shops in that row were selling wood carvings.  They had everything.  There were carvings of all sizes, from microscopic to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=taiwanelli.wordpress.com&blog=4789266&post=446&subd=taiwanelli&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Birds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We saw a lot of different birds in China.  We also ate lots of birds in China.  But that&#8217;s a different story.  Anyway, most of the live birds we saw were usually hanging around in the many parks and zoos.  The crane-type one at the top (yes, crane-type, I am not an ornithologist, my apologies) decided [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=taiwanelli.wordpress.com&blog=4789266&post=434&subd=taiwanelli&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Another Temple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a mosque I actually got to go to in China.  It was built with a garden around it.  It had lots of small buildings like  the one shown.  All of these buildings had interesting religious and historic meaning, but I forgot what those meanings were.  It&#8217;s been a few years.  They were great stories, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=taiwanelli.wordpress.com&blog=4789266&post=418&subd=taiwanelli&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hamtaro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
A lot of the time in Taiwan we were stuck inside.  This is what we watched, when I could convince my brother to watch it.  He would rather watch Spongebob (bleh, he played it  24/7 while we had chicken pox) or just flip through the channels for hours.   Except, we watched it in Chinese.

		<title>Celebrity Hunt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Here is a beautiful view from Hong Kong island.  But  it&#8217;s more then that.  Yes, ladies and gentlemen, on this hillside is the very home of Jackie Chan.  Of course, you can&#8217;t see it from here, but I did.  I also saw his hand-print in Hong Kong&#8217;s version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  My brother [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=taiwanelli.wordpress.com&blog=4789266&post=400&subd=taiwanelli&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Architecture</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, maybe I don&#8217;t get out enough, but this looked like a pretty awesome fountain to me.

This was in a park/zoo/swimming pool area in Hong Kong.  I guess all fountains are pretty strange.  I can&#8217;t say I&#8217;ve ever seen one that looks like dead dandelions before, though.  You also get another view of the type [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=taiwanelli.wordpress.com&blog=4789266&post=390&subd=taiwanelli&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Supposedly a Light Show</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This was the view from the roof of the motel we stayed in (I think it was the YMCA) when we were in Hong Kong for a few days.
We were told the light show was spectacular and we had to see it.    So we navigated the narrow stairways of our motel to find the roof.  We got [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=taiwanelli.wordpress.com&blog=4789266&post=375&subd=taiwanelli&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>terracotta warriors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another tourist spot we had to visit was the mausouleum of Qin Shi Huang.  I guess this guy deserved such a great tomb, since he was the first emporer of a united China. 
He had his people build him an army of clay warriors to protect him after his death.  Each warrior is unique.  Each has a different [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=taiwanelli.wordpress.com&blog=4789266&post=366&subd=taiwanelli&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
