I went to Danshui, it’s located to the north of Taipei. It’s considered as the old city, it’s part of Taipei county and not Taipei city. It sits right on the Danshui River and has a lot of history. The Spanish were here and they built the Fort San Domingo to defend against […]

I was sad to leave my friends and my second family in Quebec. As any one who works in a corporate environment, you hope for a change and reward.
