How Taiwan Stole My Heart
Apr.16.2021
Taiwan or indeed anywhere in Asia was not on my travel radar when my son and his girlfriend, a native of Taiwan, visited me in Arizona for Christmas a few years back. Even though I had done a fair amount of international traveling by then, Asia was still just a dream.
My son, on the other hand, was in the midst of planning his first trip to Asia. Knowing that he intended to accompany his girlfriend on a trip to her home country that spring, I had included a Taiwan guidebook and a Mandarin phrasebook in his gifts that Christmas.
