I'm back in Singapore

As with people who fulfil their dreams of backpacking a country, I, too, have feelings of nostalgia for the wonderful days of carefree living and exciting new scenery.

I did manage to post up loads of pictures on Facebook, including the food of Taiwan. Didn't realise I ate so much beef noodles.

From my notebook, I find that I did save a few word document files on the places I have been passed.

Example: Tamshui – Riverside town with amazing charms.



Formerly called Hoba, Hobe and Huwei, it was first inhabited by Aborigines before the Spanish came in 1628 and the Dutch in 1642. After the Opium Wars in the late 1860s, the Qing government was forced to open Tamshui to foreign trade and missionaries. It became the largest and busiest harbor in Taiwan. When the Japanese came to colonize Taiwan in 1895 to 1945, they left their mark on the town and transformed it into a center for tourism.
