Hi Brian,
Enjoyed reading this Vol. I. I must say even though I have been to almost all the places except Bohemian Grove, for the obvious reason, and Arizona, I learned a lot of new facts and data.
I laughed when you passionately talked about Steve Jobs etc. didn't finish their college education or went to graduate school. It is true that people born smart doesn't need formal nor structured education. But they are few among a few.
Stopped by traffic police while driving over 90 miles per hour on a straight highway, we all had that experience "one day when we were young". If your young driver is carrying an International driver's license, most police will let him go. The four guidelines you set for trips afterwards are good. One thing we always have to remember is that always fill up before returning the rental car. If not, they charge top price for gas. I am glad you guys had a taste of using a RV. I love taking kids out in that because they don't complain so much and we don't have to make wee wee stops. It is not easy to drive one though.
We all love San Diego. Only there, the water of the ocean starts to get warm. Mr. Bill Perry was the Secretary of Defense during the Clinton's administration. He ordered the Nimitz to head towards Taiwan Strait during the missile crisis. My husband accompanied him on his book tour to China and Taiwan earlier this year. "My Journey at the Nuclear Brink" is the name of his book.
Thank you for including me as one of the proofreaders of your new book.
I am taking a river cruise from Memphis down the Mississippi next week. Will learn some small town history along the way.
請問有人想賣休旅車嗎？？
Does anyone have a van they want to sell??
從非洲回到台灣的日子一切都非常的順遂，而我們也即將準備進入人生的下一個階段，幾個禮拜後我們的家庭成員即將倍增，因為肚子裡的“雙胞胎”就快出生了！！一直以來我們都鐘愛家裡這台小小的Matiz，但是基於家庭人數的增長，我們還是必須另尋一台更大的車子，而由於積蓄的微薄，我們希望找一台價格低階的中古6-7人坐二手車。
如果大家擁有或認識想要賣安全穩固的二手車，請麻煩通知我們一聲，謝謝。
順便一提，如果有人有興趣買這台(手排)Matiz小車也歡迎和我們聯絡，它真的是非常非常省油哦！！
Does anyone have a van they want to sell??
Being back in Taiwan has been great, but we are now preparing for the next stage of our life. In a matter of weeks our family is about to double in size because….we’re having Twins!! We have been driving this tiny little Matiz and we love it, but….with two more babies on the way we really need a larger vehicle. Our family really lives on a tight budget so we are asking if anyone has a used 6/7 seater (spacious 5 seater) they would like to sell us at a (very) reasonable price.
We hope to buy a car that is safe to drive now and does not need any work. If you have something or know anyone who does, please let us know.
Or if you are interested in buying our (manual) Matiz you can also contact us..btw this car is amazingly cheap on gas!!

Kenting (墾丁, pronounced Ken-ding) is a popular holiday destination in Taiwan for tourists and locals. Come with us on a day trip to this beautiful place - there's lots more waiting for you here in Kenting!
HOW TO GET TO KENTING (FROM KAOHSIUNG):
FROM ZUOYING: The Kenting Express Bus leaves from Zuoying station (which contains both the high speed rail station and MRT station) and takes approximately 2.5 hours to reach Kenting Main Street. You can buy tickets from the Kenting Express Booth at the station (at the top of the escalators just outside the High Speed Rail Station) or you can buy tickets online here (http://ticket.fun2tw.com/Login.aspx). I recommend buying in advance for weekends, holidays and in peak season (July/August school holidays). The cost is nt300 per person, one way. The website is in Chinese but if you use the Chrome browser your phone/computer should automatically translate the pages - enough to figure out what you are doing. The bus has free wifi and USB charging ports.
FROM THE AIRPORT: There are also buses that leave from the Kaohsiung airport (also known as Xiaogang airport). You can only buy these tickets at the airport. There's a timetable here: http://www.ptbus.com.tw/09/%E8%87%A8918.htm. You'll notice the destination on the website reads "Xiaowan" - this beach is right next to Kenting main street.
FROM KAOHSIUNG TRAIN STATION: Buses also leave from Kaohsiung Main Station although the pickup point is not clearly signposted - it's behind the MRT station. At time of writing (April 2018) the Kaohsiung main station is under heavy construction and I would recommend just catching the MRT to Zuoying instead rather than trying to find the bus amongst the chaos!
Beware of taxi drivers convincing you to ride with them - the fare is never cheaper than the bus, they will make you wait until their taxi is full of passengers, and the ride will definitely be less comfortable. It's definitely best to ignore them and get on the bus!
What to do in Kenting
There's quite a lot to do in Kenting, Taiwan - but it might be a bit different from the beach holidays you are used to. You can:
Relax on the beach - get a beer at the beach bar at Xiaowan (https://goo.gl/maps/FexLoksFvjE2), find shelter under a crag - and if you have kids watch them play safely in the little stream that connects the river to the sea. There are also a range of water sports available here,
Browse the night market (https://goo.gl/maps/xE3cZZa5td52) - this starts at sundown and is reportedly the longest in Taiwan. My personal favourite snacks here are the fried milk and the banana pancake.
Visit the Aquarium (https://goo.gl/maps/uAuFRB7srd92) - I haven't done this yet but it's apparently a very good aquarium (just be aware that it's a bit outside Kenting, perhaps pair it with a day trip to Hengchun town),
Wander around Hengchun old town (perhaps start at Hengchun south gate (https://goo.gl/maps/eTMnSE2npC72) and work towards Hengchun old street),
Swim at Nanwan beach (https://goo.gl/maps/xbYP23YZ9AB2) - this beach is my personal favourite for swimming and it's also good for collecting shells and sea glass.
Learn to surf with Afei (who also runs a bed and breakfast): https://goo.gl/maps/tT7GEq363Xt
Enjoy a meal at Bossa Nova (https://goo.gl/maps/g1t4G8xekv52) run by a lovely Taiwanese family and their French daughter-in-law,
See fire coming out of the ground at Chuhuo natural gas spring (https://goo.gl/maps/Lncfvr5UVLs)
Bird watch at Longluantan (https://goo.gl/maps/kCtguhsi6Xk)
Eat sushi and ride in a glass bottom boat at Houbihu (https://goo.gl/maps/ZYbn5wKPMx12)
Snap a selfie at the southernmost point of Taiwan (https://goo.gl/maps/KTo14HuZc6E2)
Check out Sail Rock, a huge coral reef rock that apparently looks like President Nixon (https://goo.gl/maps/ZFLiC3Z9sf22)
How to get around Kenting
Hire an electric scooter - for nt600 per day you can hire a scooter to get around. There are many scooter hire stores on Kenting main street. No licence is needed but you do need your passport.
Catch the shuttle bus - a whole day ticket is nt150 and you can buy it on the bus - just say ONE DAY PASS clearly and they will understand. Map and timetable can be found here (http://www.ptbus.com.tw/03/0302a.htm), all in Chinese unfortunately. Alternatively, you can just pay with change as you go. The downside is that the buses don't come very often and the stops aren't that easy to find.
Taxi - being a holiday area, taxis often do not run the meter but will rather negotiate a fare with you up front. Taiwanese taxi drivers are generally not out to rip you off but you will definitely pay more than in other cities in Taiwan (if you are a westerner you will likely still think the price is very cheap compared to home). In return, you will ride in air conditioning!
