Back to America!

Just came back from a 2 week Taiwanese vacation. It had been very restful and relaxing, but sure gained a lot of weight!!!! 10 lbs to be exact! I usually eat only 2 meals a day, but in Taiwan, we do nothing and yet eat 3 big meals a day, I suppose it's only natural to get fat! :D Thank God that I'm steadily dropping my weight day by day...

Anyway, we were also very lucky during our visit. It's nice that we missed the typhoons. There was a big one before we arrived and another big one hitting Taiwan after we left. The heat we experienced was kinda unbearable while we were there, but I suppose it's better than spending our vacation with a typhoon! Anyway, may God have mercy on Taiwan. Feel really bad for the people suffering because of these huge typhoons!!!

Another thing to be thankful for was that we prayed for healing of grandma and hopefully she can be well enough to eat out with us... well, she didn't get well enough to eat out with us, but we were able to see grandma walking about around the house! So that was pretty cool! Hope she'll be her full 100% next time we go back!

Anyway, for the sake of fun, I guess I'll rank the top 3 food that I enjoyed the most from this trip:

1) The stinky tofu!
















































2) The pig feet!



3)This meal purchased from the side of the freeway was pretty tasty too!





The other honorable mentions are mom's minced pork sauce that goes on top of the rice! Hmm... amazingly delicious. China airline tried to do the same but failed miserably! ;)


The other honorable mention is this NT$25 egg cake with cabbages we found by accident!


Not sure what's up, but it seems I enjoy these relative cheap 'little eats' more than some of the more expensive stuffs. These are what makes Taiwan great I think! ;)

Finally, on a more serious note... I'm hoping that I can introduce the gospel to my uncle. Trying to have email exchanges thru my cousin, may God help us make this endeavor successful! Hopefully my cousin can be converted too! Fingers cross! ;)

Isa 12:4
Give thanks to the LORD, call on his name;
make known among the nations what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.
