| TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2:29 p.m. - Pet lovers must think this is great. Others might think it's disgusting or rude. Do people let their pets sit at the table at home? Anyway it's apparently acceptable here. I don't really have an opinion, but I've only ordered to go from there since. Go fig. |
 |
| THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, 3:20 a.m. - I don't know anything about New Jersey, so my ballot basically has one vote for president. |
 |
| FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2:46 a.m. - Rte. 101 in Danshui. This ride is to Sanzhi, one of the northern-most towns in Taiwan. The ride to Danshui is about 15 miles, then riding out of Danshui on Route 2 until finding Rte 101 and turning right through rolling hills. It goes to Sanzhi where Rte. 2 takes me back to Danshui along the coast. |
 |
