seriously there is no place else i rather be in the world than in taiwan. ive actually been quite depressed ever since returning because the usa is a bit drab in my opinion and the family isnt as big here (actually i barely have any family here, just my immediate family and 2 aunts and their families). i kinda get really excited when i meet fellow taiwanese because we arent a dime a dozen here.

random note: i dream of shooting a destination wedding in taiwan. that is my ultimate goal.

i visit taiwan to go back home. yes thats right its not really a vacation but it is as relaxing as one. i do consider my home in taiwan (even though i was born here). so when i go to taiwan, i go HOME.

but back to the point…its been 3 years since i went back to taiwan and this time it was for my grandpa’s 88th birthday. 88 is suppose to be a special number in many senses in chinese culture. my family is from a little town called dongshih (near tai chung and fongyuen) and i do take pride in being taiwanese. maybe one day ill move to taiwan. the good thing about the usa is the opportunities to make money. in taiwan i got everything else that really maters in life: family, food, simple living, and a nice health care system. hahah.

i wont be posting all the pics here so please visit my facebook album called “The Chao Dynasty – Taiwan 2009.” hahah i wish i was a part of some royal dynasty hahaha. anyways go visit it, i have commented much on each pic. heres a big linky for everyone to click on. and if you arent a friend yet, comon, dont be a stranger! =)
