High Speed Trains and Caviar Chocolates

So, back to some Asiatic journeys, shall we? We also stopped in Taiwan on our business trip, and it was great! I've never been there before, and it was full of pleasant surprises, like a high-speed train, which travels from one end of the country island to the other in around 2 hours. How fast?

  1. I think the most interesting thing I've eaten was escargot, because it's snails! Unfortunately, I didn't eat it in France. That would have been more awesome. No, I ate it in a French restaurant in good ol' Utah.
