I knew that after a visit to the Pastureland Resort Experience, life was going to be a pale imitation of its former self, but I was determined to soldier on. It seems that Guanshan Township is part of the great Taiwanese bicycle experience. Sometime after our last visit, a bicycling craze overtook the island, with … Read more
As you can see from this picture, I made it to the “Pastureland Resort Experience Area” but if you think I’m going to tell you about it straight away, you’ve got another think coming. It was a long day to get to those cows, and it’s going to be a long blog post to get … Read more
Taiwan is a different place. Oh, I know, that’s not the single most insightful thing I’ve ever written, but neither is it as fatuous as it sounds. Regular readers of my blog may remember my last trip to Taiwan where we went to visit a major tourist destination: a sheep farm. It was pleasant and … Read more
A video in which I totally didn’t capture the concept of “narrative.” You can watch this in HD if you follow the link. Taiwan 2010 – Video I from Lone Locust Productions on Vimeo. Some seriously disassociated video of the first two days in Taiwan. For hardcore family video fans only.
Our first day in Taiwan passed somewhat uneventfully.

The first part of any Arizona to Taiwan trip is a misery. There’s no long and short of it, it’s just a royal pain. Arrive two hours early (at 5:30AM) for a 7:30 flight. Flight to LA, 1 hour. 6.5 hour layover in America’s most miserable airport – no thanks, we decided to take a … Read more
In a couple weeks, we’ll be in Taiwan. I’ve upgraded (or downgraded, depending on how you look at it) all our travel video gear. This year, in addition to digital cameras and phones that can record video, we’ll be carrying two different mini-HD cameras. Chu-Wan has a “Flip MinoHD Camcorder, 60 Minutes (Black)” (Flip Video) … Read more
Now, I can make my final judgment on our recent experiment using priceline.com to book our hotels. A brief recap: We decided to book our hotel(s) on a San Diego trip via Priceline’s name your price program. We bid for 3 nights at a minimum 3-star hotel at $75 per night – fully expecting to … Read more
I recognize that my previous post was a bit of a rant, but, I can assure you, dear reader, that had it written it immediately after the event, it would have been positively vitriolic, even by my standards. As it was, it still took three complete re-writes (from scratch) before I thought it down to … Read more
